	The Madiga community of Andhra pradesh
		The Madiga community is known as the Mang in Maharastra, the Chakkaliya in Tamil nadu and possibly the Matang in North India.
		The Madigas are light brown to dark complexioned, usually slim and smooth-featured, in some cases delicately built --the girls are said to be of padmini -jati as the old indian saying goes---physically quite different from the Malas.
		The madigas are said to be backers of the Telugu Desam, mainly because their Mala SC rivals support the Congress.

	The Madigas of India
		The Madiga community is known as the Mang in Maharastra, the Chakkaliya in Tamil nadu and theMatang in North India.
		While the Madigas in medieval times and recently too were very low down in the social scale, in ancient times--really ancient times--they were a powerful hunting food gathering tribe.
		Madigas seem to be a far-flung tribe withsimilar sounding names like Mandinga noticed in Africa andSoutheast asia too.

	Jamba Puranam: a preliminary reading of a published 'caste myth' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Madigas are unusual in the number of separate sets of performers who are part of the wider grouping of castes which they lead.
		A precedence in the world is claimed for Madigas, with their first ancestor an important and respected figure in the midst of originations and of the contests of gods and demons.
		Madiga learning in traditional forms is expressed in the knowledge displayed of the puranic stories themselves, in the ability to expound and explain these, in the multiple schemes of castes and their ordering, and in the discussion of the genealogy and relationships of characters in the great epics.

	Rediff On The NeT: Madiga agitation goes into overdrive
		The genesis of the controversy was when the state government categorised the SCs into four divisons based on population: Division A being the Rellis, B the Madigas, C the Malas and D the Adi Andhra community.
		When it was pointed out that it was the court, and the NCSC, that was responsible for the delay, Madiga pointed out that the commission had asked the government to collect relevant data in support of its decision, and that it was the government that had delayed its submission, thus sparking the ongoing protests.
		There is, the Madiga leader said, no question of his community continuing its support to the TDP -- a statement with ominous overtones, given the impending assembly election in the state.

	4. MADIGA-DALITS AMONG THE DALITS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Madigas are the dalits among the dalits and we urge you to join our appeal for equal justice to all scheduled caste communities.
		The commission of enquiry found that though Malas and Madigas form 41% and 47% of the SC population respectively, 62% of all reserved State Govt jobs have been secured by Malas and Madigas have 31%.
		Since the Malas and the Madigas are the most numerous comprising almost 80-90% of the scheduled castes, such a campaign is projected merely as a competition or rift between these two groups when in reality it is about justice and cuts across all the SC communities.

	grhf: south asia: forums: crimes against women: child marriage: prohibited marriage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The celebration of a marriage, especially among the marginalised Madigas, could not have evoked much interest in the village, except among the elders of the caste and invited others; certainly, the lower echelons of the government machinery were rarely involved in such marriages.
		A young Madiga girl had to be protected until her marriage not only from the preying eyes of her own caste men, but from the upper caste men who enjoyed privileged sexual access to lower caste women.
		The two Madiga men of Arikere, pitting their knowledge of the complexities of customary practices against the will of the state determined to hypostatise and reform local law-ways through new legal apparatuses, were doomed to certain punishment.

	G.O.Ms.No. 68, Dated 6th June 1997
		The Government after careful consideration of the report of the Commission, have agreed with the findings of the Cabinet Sub-Committee and accept the following findings of the Commission :- I. There is disproportionate distribution of reservation benefits in favour of the 'Mala' group and 'Adi-Andhra' group of scheduled caste communities compared to their respective populations.
		Both the 'Madiga' group and 'Relli' group of communities are not adequately represented either in public appointments or in educational institutions compared to their respective populations categorising these S.C. communities into four groups 'A', 'B', 'C' and 'D' on a rational basis.
		The 'Madiga' group of communities is the next most backward among the S.C. communities and therefore they are categorised as 'B' with percentage entitlement of seven percent (7%) of reservation in proportion to their population, both in public appointments and admissions to educational institutions.
