About Munnuru Kapu

Munnuru Kapu


Munnuru Kapu's are primarily concentrated in Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh. By Occupation they are Farmers. The name Munnuru seems to be of a recent origin, which means three hundred. They were a part of the Telaga community and were the Imperial guard of the Tanjore Nayaks. The Nawab of Hyderabad requested the Tanjavore Nayaks to send a battalion of his best infantry and cavalry for his personal security. The Tanjore Nayak dispatched three hundred Telaga men and their families. The descendants of these three hundred families are now called Munnuru Kapu.

There also seems to be a Traditional Rivalry that existed between the Mudiraj community and the Munnur Kapu community. The Munnuru Kapu's have always been associated with one Kingdom or the other in the form of Interior Palace Guards like Tanjavore Nayaks,Devarakonda, Nizam etc.

MUNNURU KAPUS ARE NOT KAPUS.THEIR CASTE NAME IS ONLY MUNNURU.MUNNURUS HAVE NO GOTHRAMS.MUNNURU CASTE ORIGINATED FROM 300 CASTES.ACCORDING TO DWARAKANATH (BALIJA NAIDU)GARU-CHAIRMAN KARNATAKA BC COMMISION THE PROFFESION OF MUNNURU CASTE AS PER 1901 CENSUS IS BEGGING.THE THEORY THAT MUNNURUS HAVE COME FROM THANJAVUR IS A VERY LATEST ONE AND IS OF PURE FICTION.REFER TO THE CASTES AND TRIBES OF NIZAMS DOMINION.THE REDDIES OF TELANGANA ARE CALLED KAPUS.

Munnurukapu are kapus, munnuru means 300, In the olden days rani rudramadevi observed there are large hectares of land to cultivate in telangana region, then some kapus(300) from andhra came to telangana, as the identified as munnuru means 300 Kapu means protector of land,there main occupation is agriculture but in telangana munnurukapus socially & economically backward ie the are under BC-d list, in Andhra kapus are forwardcaste-oc, when coming to Reddy's some notable kapus means frm munnurukapu(telangana) and kapus from andhra as given the title Reddy and there generation continues.

Only two question to all those Reddy's in telangana state, No.1: " Is your caste Reddy or Kapu"? If it is Reddy then why u people say that u are of Motati Kapu, Gudati Kapu, Pakanati Kapu and Etc. NO.2: if u say that ur caste is kapu and Reddy is only title which is applicable to evey kapu, then by default munnurukapu are also eligible for title Reddy.

Comment by Kotla on September 4, 2017 at 1:05 PM

As jayasimha said reddy was the title given to protect villagers as time passes its become a rich community then alliances were limited between these village headman families, atleast its true in telangana region as its has its own history from other states. Comparatively gothras and surnames are equal between reddy and kapus

Kapu subsect munnurukapu, earlier there is no Reddy caste, Reddy is title given to village heads, In telangana village Munnurukapu's are also we're village heads and the are in positions of police Patel, Mali Patel, vathandari etc....

Comment by Jayasimha patel (Mkapu). on August 11, 2018 at 1:55 AM

Munnurukapu belongs to subcaste of Kapu, there main occupation is farming.it doesn't came from three hundred caste, it is not correct. Hence there are called kapus and Patel's in the villages of telangana.

Comment by v naidu on January 28, 2024 at 12:25 AM

read several books on caste systems in India , during that process i have found some intresting facts about munnurukapu , in kakatiya empire of warangal during rudra deva ruling The Sainyadeksh was Jayapasenani who was a munnurukapu and he was a great warrior and the sisters of jayapasenani was married by rudra deva , and here patel name came for them is actually patella which means land holder and eventually patta has been evolved from patella word only , and in a gotra research most of the gotras of m kapu and remaining kapus , reddy matches

Comment by v naidu on January 28, 2024 at 12:27 AM

in chandravamshiyuluu book it was clearly mentioned about them described as manneru kapu but some people who wantedly dissapeared the facts related to them .
