Musunuri Nayakas

"Cynthia Talbot wrote in Precolonial India in Practice: Society, Region, and Identity in Medieval Andhra , ‘The seizure of the Kakatiya capital and king in 1323 had a devastating effect, for nothing of the Kakatiya politica system survived, at least in recognizable form. There were no subsequent claimants to the Kakatiya throne nor do any attested Kakatiya subordinates figure in later epigraphic records’."

"Kapaya Nayaka! His name is familiar only amongst a few in South India. He was the leader of a confederation of Telugu nobles who united to liberate the South Indian kingdom of Warangal from the Delhi Sultanate. Delhi was then under the Tughlaqs. He drove the Tughlaqs out of the Warangal (then Telangana) territory in 1336. He ruled the region for the next 30 years."
