Niyogi brahmins of Andhra have had a great effect on the Deccan History. They also had & still have a major say in Modern Indian political scenario(ref. S.radhakrishnan, VV Giri, KL Rao, T.prakasam, PV narasimha Rao etc). Their contribution as Administrators, Literateurs & Soldiers (Gen KV Krishna Rao for the uninitiated is a Niyogi brahmin) is vast. Many references indicate 1. a possible migration of these people from from North (Ahichhtram - Himalayas) as an exodus of brahmins of 6000 gotras, as indicated by the sect name "Aruvela Niyogis" - aruvela in Telugu menaning six thousand, 2. A possible migration of Tamil brahmins under Trilochana pallava during Pallava regime in Coastal Andhra & 3. A definite Andhra/Maharashtrian lineage of Niyogi brahmins or more generally Andhra brahmins. (quite a few house names of Andhra brahmins, particularly niyogis have the maharashtrian flavor eg. Sabnavis, Khasnavis, Parashurampant(ula), Madnapant(ula) etc. However there is no single reference discussing the origin of Niyogi Brahmins of Andhra. I welcome more inputs on the origins of Niyogi brahmins of Andhra.

  dear Friends,
  I am not a niyogi brahmin but I have lot of friends who are.
  One of the trait of niyogi brahmins as is proundly said is their self respect. They never ever are heared begging any thing from any one and are very know for thier pride.
  My friends always displayed that time and again.
  So who ever this ranjani is I dont either believe she is in need or I dont believe she is a niyogi.

  Dear all,
  6,000 N came from the fact that they have settled in 6,000 villages as administrators appointed by Thikkana, a famous telugu ancient poet.
  There are 148 sir names which incluse the term 'raju'
  
  OK
  Have fun...
  Kranthi
