About Arya Vaishya Samaj

There is epigraphic evidence that the term `Komati' was in use by the 11th century CE. The Komati MERCHANTS were associated with the town of Penugonda in the West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. Inscriptions from the Godavari, Krishna and Guntur districts from 11th century refer to the merchants referred to as the "Lords of Penugonda." The wealthier sections of the Komatis were addressed as`Setti',`Chetti' or`Chettiyar, all derived from the Sanskrit term Sreshthi.Their trade associations bore the name nagaram. They also participated in long-distance trade networks called pekkandru (literally "the many"). During the times of the Vijayanagara Empire, they physically relocated themselves for commercial efficiency in various parts of South India. They are presently found in the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh.

After the arrival of European trading companies, the Komati merchants were among the local traders that partnered with them. The British referred to them as "Committees" and often used the term generically for all merchants on the Coromandel coast. Among the "Committees" that the British dealt with were the bulk sellers of cloth and other export commodities, money lenders and money changers, and the individual shop-keepers.The second Chief Merchant of the British East India Company in Madras was a Komati called Kasi Viranna, appointed in 1669.

There was fierce competition between the Tamil-speaking Beeri merchants, who formed the `left-hand' caste division and the Trivarnika Vaishnava Komati's and the Balija Naidu merchants who was referred to as the `right-hand' caste division in George Town during the British era for business contracts. The Balija Naidus was the first to riot and instigate riots against the Beri Chettiars and business competition between the divisions gave rise to riots and disputes in 1652 and 1707. The British were able to settle the disputes between the left hand and right-hand caste divisions amicably by resettling members to designated areas in George Town which is a small neighborhood in the city of Chennai.
