In the Census Report, 1891, Kapu (indicating cultivator), is given as a sub-division of Chakkiliyans, Dommaras, Gadabas, Savaras and Telis. It further occurs as a sub-division of Mangala. Some Maratha cultivators in the Telugu country are known as Are Kapu. The Konda Doras are also called Konda Kapus. In the Census Report, 1901, Pandu is returned as a Tamil synonym, and Kampo as an Oriya form of Kapu. Reddi is the usual title of the Kapus, and is the title by which the village munsiff is called in the Telugu country, regardless of the caste to which he may belong. Reddi also occurs as a sub-division of cultivating Linga Balijas, Telugu Vadukans or Vadugans in the Tamil country, Velamas, and Yanadis. It is further given as a name for Kavarais engaged in agriculture, and as a title of the Kallangi sub-division of Pallis, and Sadars. The name Sambuni Reddi is adopted by some Palles engaged as fishermen. As examples of exogamous septs among the Kapus, the following may be cited:-- Avula, cow. Alla, grain. Bandi, cart. Barrelu, buffaloes. Dandu, army. Gorre, sheep. Gudise, hut. Guntaka, harrow. Kodla, fowl. Mekala, goats. Kanugala, Pongamia glabra. Mungaru, woman's skirt. Nagali, plough. Tangedu, Cassia auriculata. Udumala, Varanus bengalensis. Varige, Setaria italica. Yeddulu, bulls. Yenuga, elephant. At Conjeeveram, some Panta Reddis have true totemistic septs, of which the following are examples:-- Magili (Pandanus fascicularis). Women do not, like women of other castes, use the flower-bracts for the purpose of adorning themselves. A man has been known to refuse to purchase some bamboo mats, because they were tied with the fibre of this tree. Ippi (Bassia longifolia). The tree, and its products, must not be touched. Mancham (cot). They avoid sleeping on cots. Arigala (Paspalum scrobiculatum). The grain is not used as food. Chintaginjalu (tamarind seeds). The seeds may not be touched, or used. Puccha (Citrullus vulgaris; water melon). The fruit may not be eaten. The Pichigunta vandlu, a class of mendicants who beg chiefly from Kapus and Gollas, manufacture pedigrees and gotras for these castes and the Kammas.
