A fraudulant community

Dear sir,
My qurey is that a small community called KANIYAR in Karnataka. Kaniyar belongs to 2A category and by fradulant means encashing the benifits given to the Scheduled tribe by utilizing the name of another community by name KANIYAN and Kanyan which are Scheduled tribes restricted to Kollegal taluk of Chamarajanagar(earlier Mysore District).
Kaniyan and Kanyan are Scheduled tribes restricted to Kollegal taluk of chamarajanagar District of Karnataka and in the rest of Karnataka it is a backward community under 2A.The reason being, Kollegal taluk was part and parcel of the old Madras state and in 1956 during the reorganization of states Kollegal was merged with Mysore state . Kaniyans in Tamilnadu is categorised as Scheduled tribes and hence when Kollegal was merged with Mysore state the Kaniyans and Kanyan of Tamil Nadu were retained with their identity as a tribe and hence they were given the status of a Scheduled tribe restricting to Kollegal only.
In Karnataka , this community is treated as backward and was included in 2A category along with Kaniyar, Kaniyaru Knaisan, Kanizan and Kanyan. Since this communities in Kollegal were utilising the benifits of both ST and 2A Govt of Karnataka dated 23/7/1978 deleted Kaniyan and Kanyan from the list of Backward caste, since these caste were already included in the list of Scheduled Tribe as per the Presidential Notification. Hence the Scheduled tribe statuts to Kaniyan and Kanyan was thus made available only to Kollegal Taluk of Chamarajanagar distict of Karnataka and elswhere in the state these communities are treated as Backward caste.
Kaniyans are basically from Tamil Nadu and their antropological studies reveal that they are the followers of Lord Shiva and that as per the Mythology Kaniyan was the son of Goddess Parvathi.
Kaniyar, a Backward community in Karnataka which is a Vaishnavite and followers of Sri Ramanuja and devoties of Lord Vishnu. They follow patriarchial system and the naming ceremony is performed with yagna (presence of oma and havan)Thread bearing ceremony is conducted (upanayan)and are astrologers, the funeral of the dead is carried out by burning the dead body.
The small difference between KANIYAN(Shivites) and KANIYAR(Vaishnavite) is the last letter ie, letter "n"for Kaniyan and letter 'r' for Kaniyar. The fradulant community Kaniyar just by changing the letter "r" to "n" are considering themselves as Kaniyan and utilising the benifits of ST and thus doing fraud to the Government and socient in whole.
More than 70% of this community are some how managed to get fake ST certificate from the Tashildar Kollegal way back in late 70's and 80's by producing fake address. The investigation of most of the these fake certificates reveal that more than 20 people with this certificates bear the same address.This is a racket. whena complaint was filed at the Tashildar Kollegal regarding one of the case where in the accused was not at all the native of Kollegal and the caste was KANIYAR and a native of T Narasipur taluk of Mysore district. The Primary School records and the the college records and also while entering into service the caste mentioned is Kaniyar and the native though being T Narsipur was given fake Kaniyan ST certificate. Govt of Karnataka has clarified that KAniyan and Kaniyar are different caste and the names are not synonymous. with all these substantial evidences the tasildar of kOllegal has and are still issunig such fake ST certificates to this fraud community as they have now accumulated enormous wealth to bribe the officials at all level and they are also now working at various levels as State level officers and in all rungs of the administration and hence have a powerful influence. This community is hijacking all the benifits to their 2nd generation and enjoying the benifits that are given to the real ST.
Now can a private complaint be lodged against this community? As all the officials with a clear cut circulars and orders stating that Kaniyars are Backward and that Kaniyan and Kaniyars are not synonymous, are protecting the infulencial people by corrupt means are still getting the benifits of ST and enjoying.
How can this malace be treated?
