Vaddera

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vaddera (alternatively Vadde, Waddera, Vadar) is a caste in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and some other states[citation needed] in India.

The Vaddera have traditionally been stone cutters but many have had to change[why?] to agricultural labouring. The effects of mechanisation, usually financed and run by higher caste groups, has caused this change and government recognition of the issues has led to them being designated as an Other Backward Class.[1]
