A REVIEW ON LACK OF AWARENESS ON THEIR OWN HISTORY, CULMINATED INTO LOSS OF HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND SOCIO HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS (A Vaddera caste)

Abstract

One of the most significant periods in human history is the Stone Age. Early man initially utilised stones as a material. Human evolution may be shown in stone implements. Throughout their history, such significant stones were a part of their existence. Their livelihood is still reliant on them. Vadderas is their name. One of the largest populations in India's south is the Vadderas, Odde, Waddars, Vaddirajulu, and Od. They were referred to be nomadic tribes in the past because they roamed from place to place looking for labour. They are now mostly settled, although a small percentage of the population is still nomadic.

The current research is based on a thorough examination of the literature. Three studies from journals and oral information from Vaddera caste members were chosen by the researcher.

According to my understanding, there is only 1% literature, which is insufficient to identify their identity. The Vadderas were given the label of stone peddlers, but they were truly in various holdings throughout history, and numerous castes in India had varied occupations, which still exist now. Future study on the many sorts of castes that arose and their holdings throughout history and into the present scientific world would be required.
