The Budabukkala or Budubudiki is a community that has been designated an Other Backward Class in Andhra Pradesh since 1993.[1] They were traditionally known as wandering minstrels who sang folk songs and wore colorful costumes.[2][3] The Budabukkalas are a caste of itinerant beggars and soothsayers. As per P. C. Venkatasubbaiah, they recall migration from Maharashtra centuries back and speak a corrupt form of Marathi within the family, and Telugu or Kannada or Tamil, outside their home.[3]
