INTRODUCTION : Vaddera (also written Vadde, Vadderaju, or Waddera) is a caste prevalent in the Indian states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and a few others

Vaddera people, also known as Wadders in Maharashtra, Vadde, Vaddila, and Vaddu Raju in Andhra Pradesh, and Bhovi in Karnataka, are an ethnic community native to Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Western Orissa, and other Indian states. Vaddera (also spelled Vadde, Vadderaju, or Waddera) is a caste found in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and a few other Indian states.

Legends of Vaddera Community:
According to Mahabharata legends, the Odras s hare land with Utkala, Mekala, Kalinga, and Andhra. Manu, on the other hand, groups the Odras with the Pallavas, Kiratas, Chinas, and Khasas, among others. These remarks, however, do not describe the country's location or size. Pliny's Natural History mentions Oretes as a race that lived in the territory where Mount Meleus is located ''. Odras is the Sanskrit'' translation of the Greek word Oretes. Malayagiri near Pallahada, currently in the district of Angul, has been identified as Mount Meleus. They claim to be the lineage of Bhagirath Ganga, who during a hundred-year drought in northern India dug a canal from the Ganges in the Himalayas. This Bhagirath was urged by the then Kshathriyas to find a solution, and he was successful in excavating large canals from the Himalayas to Prayag, diverting the Ganges to the whole northern section of India. As a result, Bhagirath is honoured as the saviour of northern India, and they refer to him as the Ganges' son. As the oldest group in India, these wadders claim to be India's engineers,builders .During the middle Ages, the state roughly corresponding to today's Orissa was known as Utkala, Kalinga, and Odra (Udra) Desa. Between the 11th and 16th centuries, Odra Desa was gradually shortened to Uddisa, Udisa, or Odra

The Battle Of ODDRAS :
Vadderajulu/Vadiyarajulu those are real suryavamsha Kshatriya's & they have historical evidence from Satya yuga to kaliyuga,

Until 16 century north andra was ruled by Vadiyarajulu who belongs to Odiya kingdom(now Orissa)

Their ancestors are Sagar king, Bhaghirha king, dileep king, Raghu king, Rama king, Kharavela king, Ganapathi Deva, purushotam dev, Narasihma Deva (build Sun Temple in konark ), Anantavarman built Puri Jagannath Temple a nd rebuilt by Anand dev those are odiya rulers.

In India first in the history odiya/vadde kings used Elephants in the wars hence they were used to be called Gajapathi Kingss.

Pusapati kings(V ijayanagaram kings ) defeated Vadiya kings in Nandapur war in 16th century hence those got Gajapathi award from vadiya kings from on wards.

After decades Vadde kings to become stone cutters after loosing kingdoms gradually and also vadde kings not only kings they are Civil engineers too.

In the Rayachoti (kadapa district) as on tod ay Sri Veera badreswara swamy Festival will perform & distributing Prasadham to devotees after touching the Prasadham of Gods by vadde kings only bcoz vadde kings saved the temple from Islamic invaders.

Suryavamsha Kshatriya's Vadiyarajulu community financial backward but Historically very rich.

Vadde Raju or Vadde Rajulu or Vadde or Waddava or Vaddara or Odras or Ode or Oddars or Bhovi or Bhoyar or Od or Odde

Origin:

In ancient India most of the countries (geographical units) have been named after the stock of tribes that inhabited the land or the ruler that ruled the state. In the Bhagavata Purana, it is stated that the progeny of Ila-Sudyumna, Dirghatamas and Sudesna had six sons namely ANAGA, VANGA, KALINGA, PUNDRA, SUMHA and ODRA.

Orissa portion was ruled by their sixth son Odra after whom the country was said to have been named as Odra.

According to the Mahabharata traditions, the territory of the Odras lies along with those of Utkala, Mekala, Kalinga and Andhra. Manu on the other hand places the Odra people along with Pallavas, Kiratas, Chinas and Khasas etc. However, these statements do not specify the location and extent of the country. The Natural History of Pliny mentione that Oretes as a race inhabited a country where mount meleus is located. The Greek word Oretes is rendered in Sanckrit as Odras. The mount meleus has been identified with Malayagiri near Pallahada, now situated in the district of Angul.

The earliest epigraphic reference to Odras is found in the Soro Copper Plate grant of Somadatta from which it is clear that Uttara Tosali with its Visaya ‘Sarepahara’ identified with Soro of Balasore District was part of Odra Visaya. The inscription is dated to 7th century A.D. Uttara Tosali then forming parts of modern Medinapur and Balasore districts was a part of Odra Visaya. This reference amply indicates that Odra was a bit and powerful territorial unit.

It was mentioned as Odra Visaya in the Soro Copper plate grant of 7th Century A.D. Alberuni described it as Urdrabishau in 1025 A.D. In the Tirumalai inscription of Rajendra Chola of circa 1025 A.D. the word Odda Visaya is met with. Further the term evolved into Odivisa or Udivisa is the accounts of Lama Taranath. In the tantric literature of late mediaeval period we find still slight variant of the term as ‘Uddisa’. The Tantrasara mentions God Jagannath as Uddisanatha while Jnanarnaba speaks of Uddisa as one of the Sakta Pithas.

The Culmination:

It is evident that by 15th Century A.D. the word Uddisa or Udisa has already evolved. For this, Saraladasa made Odrasrastra synonymous with Udisa or Odisa. His Odrarastra Odisa found mention as Odisarajya in the royal proclamations of Gajapati King Kapilendradeva (1435 – 1467 A.D.) in the Jagannath Temple Inscription of Kapilendradeva dated 1443 A.D. we find conspicuous mention of Odisarajya. The Tarikh-i-Akbari of Nizammuddin excludivaly mentions Odisa as a geographical entity. From this time onwards the geographical term Odisa stood for the entire Oriya speaking tract. Through ages the word has been used by various authors in ethnic, linguistic and geographical paradigms. Phonetic evolution of the term from Greek Oretes i.e. Odra, through Odravisaya – Oddavisaya – Odivisa and Udisa, the term Odisa seems to have been finally culminated. Similarly through phonetic metamorphosis Odra became Odriya and finally Odia with the present agnlicised from, Oriya.

'''There are arstisans in this community who make grinding stones and other house hold articles are known as Pathrots. They claim to be the clan of Bhagirath Ganga, who built a canal from the Ganges in the Himalayas when there was a hundred-year drought in northern India. This Bhagirath was requested by then Kshathriyas to find a solution, in turn he was given the status of Kshathriya and he was successful in excavation of huge canals from Himalayas to the Prayag and diverted the Ganges to the whole northern part of India. Hence the Bhagirath was remembered as saviour of northern part of India and they remember him as the son of the Ganges. Therefore, these wadders being the oldest community in India claim them as builders of India'''.

'''The Musunuri Nayaks were Boya and Kamma warrior chieftains in the Kakatiya army who regained Andhra in 1326 from the Delhi Sultanate in the aftermath of the Kakatiya defeat. King Pratapa Rudra’s Kakatiya kingdom was aptly served by SEVENTY FIVE CHIEFTAINS called NAYAKS. The Nayaks, who belonged to various agrarian castes such as Boyar, Oddar, Velama, Kamma, Reddy, Telaga, and Balija, were divided by mutual jealousy and rivalry, but were valiant cousins'''.

They warriors by caste, due to the decline of Indian imperial power and invasion of muslims and british rule turned to be many went fugitives and the captive were put to laboureous works like stone cutting, earth digging and therefore, the warrior class reduced dust. These unfortunates turned out to be permanently stone cutter, earth-workers, and are constantly moving about in search of work.

'''The wadders were the first to scribe on Rocks during the reign of the Asoka the Great. The King Kharavela claim him as the great Odda and his hathigumpa Inscription subscribes with superscripture as Sri Odde, meaning the blessings of Odda, the fore father of present Orissa.''' Bhovi Waddar or Vaddar, Vaddar, Od, Odde, have common Gothras all over Karnataka, Andhara Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The Gotra is a term applied to an ancestor or an originator through whom a particular family has originated. A Gotra is the lineage or clan assigned to a Hindu at birth. In most cases, the system is patrilineal and the gotra assigned is the gotra of the persons father. Lineage segment within an Indian caste, indicating common descent from a mythical ancestor. Marriage by members of the same gotra is traditionally prohibited. The custom is intended to prevent inbreeding as well as to broaden the influence of each gotra through marriage alliances. A common mistake is to consider gotra to be synonymous with cult or 'Kula'. A 'kula' is basically a set of people following similar rituals, often worshipping the same God (the Kula-Devata - the God of the cult). Kula has nothing to do with lineage or caste and it is possible to change ones Kula based on faith or ista devtha.

§  Near about 18 million of Boyar community people are living throughout all over in India.3 million peoples are living in Tamil Nadu.

§  Boyas bounded to mountainous regions in south-eastern peninsula near the Orissa-Andhra region. The original population of Boyas was mixed with various linguistic groups later, such as the Telugu speaking community, and spread to all southern states. These Boya warriors served at the military regiments and chiefs between 10th century to 15th century in Chalukya, Chola, Vijayanagar, and Hoysala empires.

§  The eastern Chalukyan empire’s court was essentially a Republic of Badami, and the administrative subdivisions were known as 'Boya-Kottams'. Boya-Kottams existed across the southern states right from 5th century, according to Kakatiya inscriptions. Boya-Kottams held assignments of land or revenue in different villages. Chola-Chalukyas used the titles 'Udayar' or 'Odeyar' for chieftains at certain periods of time, which included Boya Chieftains.

§  '''The Musunuri Nayaks were Boya and Kamma warrior chieftains in the Kakatiya army who regained Andhra in 1326 from the Delhi Sultanate in the aftermath of the Kakatiya defeat. King Pratapa Rudra’s Kakatiya kingdom was aptly served by SEVENTY FIVE CHIEFTAINS called NAYAKS. The Nayaks, who belonged to various agrarian castes such as Boyar, Oddar, Velama, Kamma, Reddy, Telaga, and Balija, were divided by mutual jealousy and rivalry, but were valiant cousins'''.

§  The Chitradurga Palaegar (Polygar) family was of the Beda or Boya, caste and belonged to one of the hunting hill tribes. According to one tradition, the Boya families emigrated from Jadikal-durga, in the neighbourhood of Tirupati, and settled at Nirutadi, near Bramhasagara, at about 1475 AD. They are said to have belonged to the Kamageti family. The son and the grandson of one of these were named Hire Hanummappa Nayaka and Timmanna Nayaka, respectively. There were many battles in the reign of this Nayaka between Chitradurga, Harapanahalli, Rayadurga, and Bijapur, in all of which the Nayaka had splendid success. ([9]) Rayadurg and Kalyandurg are two important forts which were ruled by Boya Palaegars. The name Kalyandurg came from Boya Kalyanappa, who was a Palaegar in the 16th century. Rayadurg was originally a stronghold of Boya Palaegar, which was very turbulent during the Vijayanagar rule. Kalyandurg was under the rule of Sri Krishnadevaraya and was a part of Vijayanagar Empire.([10]) Sri Krishnadevaraya was ruling over the Vijayanagar empire from 1509 AD to 1529 AD. In about 1562, there were very well-known Nayakas in the Vijayanagar army were 'Boya Ramappa' and 'Tipparaju', the Boya chief of Pulivendakonda and the palaegars of Kotakonda-Kappatralla.

§  In about 1517, Chitradurga Fort was given by Vijayanagar ruler to a Boya chief. It became a tributary to Bijapur after fall of Vijayanagar. There were portraits of ‘A Boya of Rank’, a member of the royal caste (related to royal family) of Chitradurga Nayaks who was documented by Colin Mackenzie.([11])

§  These princes and Boya chiefs were invariably valorous in battle, merciful and generous to their enemies, wise and discreet in their administration, far-sighted in their policy, thoroughly religious and orthodox in their belief and liberal to a fault. These powerful chieftains had some French engineers in their service and built very strong fortresses and other public utilities as standing monuments of their glory.

§  Rayadurg and Kalyandurg are two important forts which were ruled by Boya Palaegars. The name Kalyandurg came from Boya Kalyanappa, who was a Palaegar in the 16th century. Rayadurg was originally a stronghold of Boya Palaegar.

§  In 1786, Harapanahalli, a town in the Bellary District, was in possession of a powerful Palaegar of the Boya caste. One of the descendants married a daughter of Palaegar of Chitradurga. The Palaegars at different times paid tribute to the Nizam, Morari Rao of Gooty and the Peshwa. The fort was deserted and now in ruins.

§  Later, in 17th century, the Boyars distinguished themselves as smiths, sculptors, nobles, leaders, priests, landlords, temple sculptors, arm traders, and seafarers.
