Settibalija is a not a balija and not a Gouda caste subcastes.settibalija is also known as 'setti'kulam.settibalija community people's 100&80 years back toddy tapping culture habitually depends it.
Yes srisayana subcaste of gowdas are eastern ganga dynasty kshatriyas. They also have western ganga dynasty kshatriyas who are presently called as Vokkaligas and now they are in cultivation so they changed there name to Vokkaligas( kannada word). and use gowda as surname. We all are gowdas we ruled many places in South India and North
