Yanadi

Hunter-gatherers, fishers and field labourers of the Guntur and Prakasam coast and the Nallamala foot, living in small hamlets at the edge of the villages of Kammanadu and Pakanadu.

They have no chiefs known to the kings; the villages they serve rule them in practice.

The village lords

How things stand that morning

Dependent hamlets; no recorded event. South of the sheet line the Yanadi hamlets run on into Nellore, which is sit's ground (the Nellore Chodas, Chola clients).

Where the sources disagree

Evidence: No source we read gives the political life of this people in 1200; this is general knowledge, flagged thin. The Project's rule is that powers who ruled without castles are real powers, so the people is carried.

Sources and studies

  1. General knowledge of the medieval Deccan (Bhandarkar, Altekar, Sastri, B. R. Gopal, Suryanath Kamath): from memory, not re-read
