    Dear Iliah, its not Banias that are the cause of evils in Andhra society. There are two bigger castes one that belong to CBN and another that belong to YS Jagan that are playing havoc. Please declare war against them and every one will join you. Banis in AP are already weak and do no harm to thers.

  2. Shamsul Islam says:

    It may be interesting to know what Vivekananda wrote about BANIYA. According to him: “It is awful in its silent crushing and blood-sucking power. Its advantage is, as the trader himself goes everywhere, he is a good disseminator of ideas collected during the two previous states. They are still less exclusive than the military, but culture begins to decay.”

    Whether in Andhra, Telengana or outside, the upper castes are in the top posts to a large extent. The ‘ komatis’ in telugu language or ‘ bania’ in hindi occupy most of business sector. Unless total caste census comes out, the truth would remain secret and hidden
    The TDP or TRS or Congress or YSR Jagan party – all have upper caste domination in both the states
