Overview: The Kapu (Reddy) are a large dominant community of Andhra Pradesh, also distributed in Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, Karnataka, Kerala, Odisha and Maharashtra. Historically, the Kapu belonged to the fourth of the Hindu varnas, Sudra. However, in the present socio-economic system, they occupy a place next only to the Brahman.
