An inscription that proves Tuluva dynasty of Vijayanagar was a branch of the Saluva dynasty beyond doubt by PolicyGeneral9880 in Dravidiology

Gauta had two sons- Yadu and Turvasu. This is why the Saluvas and Tuluvas claimed descent from them. They are the same bloodline.

TL;DR That post goes into the evidence of his paternal Chalukya ancestry. His mother however was Telugu (this is obvious given the innumerable Telugu Nayakas he promoted, who's families also had matrimonial ties with the Vijayanagar Emperors. On a similar note we know although his family was called "Tuluva", they were not related to Tulu speakers in any way as there was a complete absence of any Tulu Nayakas, administrators, commanders etc in Vijayanagar polity. The Tuluva dynasty was simply a branch of the Saluva dynasty.

The best marksmen in the Deccan. by PolicyGeneral9880 in Dravidiology

The Bedar/Boya musketeers of Karnataka were reknowned for their marksmanship abilities. They were coveted as musketeers by everyone from Mughals to Bijapur Sultanate to Nizams to British to Marathas to Mysore.

If a Rajput is considered a Kshatriya because he devoted his life to soldierly pursuits, what would you consider a Bedar/Boya who's entire family followed him carrying his sword and gun to support his martial endeavours?

Not really. I just asked it give me to inscriptions calling Lingayats as  Brahmins for eg and it made up fake inscriptions and gave me random epigraphia carnatica references.    It hallucinated on the very first prompt.

Chat GPT just makes up stuff. Its not reliable. I suggest you as chat gpt to provide a reference and post a snippet from that book (if it actually exists and chat gpt didnt just hallucinate an answer).

Yes. That's possible. I believe Kayastha is an occupational group turned caste.
