Lingayats are a religious community primarily found in the Indian state of Karnataka, and they are generally not classified as Scheduled Castes (SC). They are considered a distinct group with their own identity and traditions, often associated with the Veerashaiva sect. However, some individuals within the broader Lingayat community may belong to Scheduled Castes, depending on their specific social and economic backgrounds. The classification can vary based on regional and governmental criteria.
