The Konda Reddis or Hill Reddis are a designated Scheduled Tribe in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh and neighboring states of Odisha, Tamil Nadu.[1]
They are entirely unrelated to the Hindu caste also known by the name Reddi.[2] They live predominantly in the Khammam district, with a smaller number in the West and East Godavari districts.[3] Konda Reddis are not listed as tribals in the state of Odissa despite the community demand. The Konda Reddis normally speak in Telugu with outsiders.[4] The 1991 Census of India counted 432 Hill Reddis.[citation needed]
Religion[edit | edit source]
The Konda Reddis traditional religion does not have the concept of a spirit being inside man.[5] However the Reddis worship dead ancestors, the hills, local gods and have accepted Hindu gods.[citation needed]
