'''Nethakani''', also known as '''Netkani''', are a [[Indian people|Maratha]] and [[Telugu people|Telugu]] [[caste]] of cotton weavers and laborers.<br />
<br />
These people were migrated from Maharashtra and spread over middle India, Northern and southern parts of India. In Maharashtra Nethakanis are known as Netkani. Traditionally they have been associated with the occupation of [[weaving]] (''netha neyuta'' means "weaving" in [[Telugu language|Telugu]]), but they have now largely moved to cultivation and agricultural labor; with a few of them being small land-owners.<br />
<br />
According to Bhadravathi Kalyana Natakamu, a folk-drama which has been published, the Nethakani are one among the four sections of Padmasaliyulu who are the sons of Bhavana Rushi. The four sections mentioned in this drama are Padmiyulu, Padmasakhiyulu, Padmasalikulu and Padmapulindulu. Padma-pulindulu was the Original Name of the Nethakani. From Padmapulindulu, the name became Chenethakanivaru, which in course of time changed to the present form, Nethakani.<br />
<br />
Most of the people related to this caste are located in the northern region of the [[India]]n state of [[Telangana]] in the districts of [[Adilabad district|Adilabad]], [[Karimnagar district|Karimnagar]], [[Nizamabad district|Nizamabad]], [[Khammam district|Khammam]] and [[Warangal district|Warangal]]. Nethakanis also migrated from Maharashtra and distributed throughout, they speak Marathi in Maharashtra & Adilabad bordering MH. Based on the financial status in the society, Nethekanis are classified as Other Backward Class (OBC) in northern parts of India and [[scheduled caste]] (SC) in some parts of India.<br />
<br />
This people are part of Hindu Shiva and Vishnu Sampradaya. They are unique caste present in India. They speak Marati, Telugu, Kannada, Gujarati And Tulu<br />
<br />
Their roots are from Brigu Maharshi and Markandeya sage and Bhawana rishi.<ref name="Russell">{{cite book|last=Russell|first=Robert Vane|author2=Lal, R.B. |title=The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India|publisher=Anthropological Publications|volume=vol. 4|pages=156}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Dube|first=S.
