These faction are formed in tamil nadu and they say right hand as VADANGAI and left hand as IDANGAI , its a time when balijas and nagarthars fought and divided the castes into two categories as what other caste gave support to these two castes

Left hand foreman / headman - shetty balija or balija shetty or balija Naidu

Right Hand castes - nagarthar’s & panchale’s

For example - if we look at the document below its says , thimmamma of setti - balija i.e she belong to balija caste or balija Naidu caste belong to Ananthapur, rayalaseema

2.24 manai chettiar

3.yaga kshatriya

4.sadhu shetty

5.janappan shetty

6.desai shetty

(Note; In 1920, the Ediga castes living in Godavari, Krishna, Visakha districts for generations changed their caste name to ′′ Shettybalija ′′ to seek a respectable name for their caste , these Edigas do not belong to the Shettybalija caste which has been there for hundreds of years).

From 1920 Ediga caste ( toddy tapping caste ) changed their caste name to chetti balija by requesting government order no : 10/07/1920 D.S No.2140 REVENUE

they changed epfrom ediga to chetti balija

-chetti represent “Chettu”(tree in telugu) because they tap toddy by climbing tree

-balija representing business

and changed their caste name to chetti balija and that slowing from 1920 it became shetty balija and these ediga dont have any connection with the real “shresti” or the real “shetty balijas” who ruled the right hand castes.
