"Nanjil Vellalar Vazhkai" by Nanjil Nadan
Thanks to a chance friend on net, Mr. Ramalingam, who kindly sent me the book.
I finished the book in just 4 hours.
It is a book on the life and times of the Unique Kanyakumari District Nanjil Vellalar Pillai who are Non vegetarians, landowners, panniyars around that area.
They had 3 distinct separate groups - Marumakkal Thayam, Makkal vazhi, and the Saiva Vellala Pillai.
I belong to the Saivaite group.
The marumakkal and makkal vazhi is broadly discussed in this book.
Eventhough the Vellalars life, culture is more or less same across all this small distinctions.
When I read through the lines, I was overtaken by the sad fact that today many of the Vellalars are not in good times.
They are economically weak, poor, landless, upper class people only on the paper.
Kavimani Desika Vinyagam Pillai [from Putheri in KK dt.] wrote in 1917 "Marumakkal Vazhi Manmiyam"
Today this Nanjil man from Veera Narayanam [KK Dt] wrote this second manmiyam.
He agrees about the bad deeds done by Landowners of those times, "the burning sambavar [parayar] kudisaigal", the sexual exploitation, the untouchability etc. etc.
Even in Tuticorin Vaditheru, till recent times [1970's] I saw an arch and a central stone and a black stone culvert telling people of untouchable caste should not enter this area. Vaditheru remained a domian of Forward caste people till recent times.
Total Vaditheru was full of Vellalakkudi.
Wherever a Vellala goes, he tries to live within his own communities. he tries to avoid other low castes, at the most he may mingle with the
brahmins or othe equal high castes.
Now the same vaditheru is full of mixed castes, notedly the Fernando christians, who gave large money to buy such beautful old time houses with its rich old history.
That brings out some animosity from other castes immediately like the brahmins who are also suffering from such exclusivity and isolation.
So, in this New Era of Post Independence and Caste Conglomeration, the Brahmins and the Vellalas are the worst affected economically socially and politically.
Now the Political Power is with the Majority MBC and OBCs.
The Reservation Policy affected the two upper castes badly.
There should be a Reservation Policy based on Economical freedom.
OK, that is a matter for life to debate.
What are the other points which attracted me in this book?.
The various unique culinary culture of the Vellalas.
Eriseri, Ulandansoru, Mundharikoththu, Susian, Kzhiyadaikai, Kokkatta, Poivizhangai, Poriurundai...
The various readymade medicines of the Vellala homes..
muttaippaththu, kurunai kanchi, thaippal for sore eyes, kaichiya nalla ennai with red chilli for ears, nallennai kuliyal ...
The various small gods of the Vellalas.
Avvayaramman,Muppidathi, Mutharamman, Soolai Pidari, Santhana mari, Sudalai madan, Sastha, Aiyappan, Shiva, Murugan...
The unique Vellala- Nanjil Nattu Vellala style of Tamil speech -mostly bordering Kerala.
Ela = to call amma
Asaththu poyi = forgot
KK dt. rice varietis
Vasarumindan, Veeramudan, Aanaikomban, aruvang kuruva, muttai kuruva, maikuruva, seeraka samba, punuhu samba, poombalai, thattravellai, seetha boham, panagkuruva, nenthirappalii, kattich samba, kalmanalvari, vallarakkan, kichili samba =18 types.
So these things are still followed, still remains..
OK, come to today's realities, i see the only emancipation for the Vellala community is by mixing with less socially fortunate people.
I saw lot of inter marriages going on in bramin caste to escape the FC stamp.
The same is a possibility and acceptable thing for Vellalas also.
In our large extended family there are many examples of inter marriages.. with SC, with Moopanar, with Nadar.
So I think it is a welcome change, if you are ready to change.
But if you are proud of your caste history, and casteist thinking, then i am sorry, the future is not so good.
Because in Tamilnadu there are lots of castes putting surname as "Pillais".
Within them lot of divisions, no unity.
As our site describes the various sects of Pillai, I suspect the PILLAI is not a caste name in OLD TAMILNADU.
The PILLAI is a common surname indicating most of the socially upgraded people, from the HARAPPAN times.
In Harappa they called Murugu Pillai [Lord Murugan], Anir Pillai [the squirrel] etc.
Even now in Kerala, a Post Man is called as "Anchal Pillai".
In Tamilnadu till recent times the Accountant is called "Kanakku Pillai"
So, any trade, if it becomes a respected trade, automatically emanicapated as a PILLAI sub caste.
Even there are VELALARs vs. VELLALARS.
The VELALARS are kuyavargal.
ILLATHU PILLAI are the house makers - the erstwhile building contractors -once upon a time the homes are made of Mansuvar - Sand.
So These many diiferent kinds of PILLAIs are all part of TAMILANDU, TAMILIANS and they never intermarry, they never accept them as one.
All have different types of Thali, different food styles, different cultures.
So it is by far impossible to unite them as a whole.
So if you are a FC Pillai, ready to inter marry with a Sozhiya Pillai or Illatthu Pillai or Koyil Pillai or Isai Vellala or Tuluva Pillai or any other Pillai....
Because only the PILLAI surname is same.
MODE OF LIVING is different.
Then it is equally same for you to marry with a NADAR or MOOPANAR or SC/ST.
I say all SAIVA PILLAIs and other FC PILLAIs, please change, accept the new life, accept other castes.
This is a very simple shortcut to your social stability.
Some people may ask what about Our Culture? what about our Tradition?... Ofcourse they have to change too.
They can change for the better.
DK party will be the happiest when the see such social change occur, because for this only Periar waited till this day.
But to follow Periar's Atheism and other Anti God theories will be bad for all the people of Tamilnadu.
Because in India is Spiritually rich nation.
Even other countries try to follow us. India has produced a lot of Spirtual Science products like YOGA.
HOROSCOPE, SIDDHA MEDICINE, AYUR VEDHA, TELEPATHY, KOODU VITTU KOODU PAITHAL, VARMA KALAI, RASAVATHAM and many other things are to follow and breath take the WESTERN NATIONS, very soon.
So MISSING THOSE THINGS will be a costly affiar and we will lose our Identity.
So, my immediate concern is, leave the caste ideologies, accept all people as TAMILIANS, then we can do wonders.
Like VOC, Ma.Po.Se, Ki.Aa.Pe, N.S.K, Kundrakkudi, Namakkal Kavingyar, Dr. Jeevanandham did.
People may be there to pull down you, But if you are hardworking and earnestly helping the PEOPLE OF TAMILNADU, you can raise to the top.
The FC Vellalas are cribbng that they supported the DK Party from Kudi Arasu to Viduthalai times of Periar, Veeramani, but they got nothing in return.
I remember my father say, that my grandpa was an ATHEIST MAN in Periar times, he bought KUDI ARASU, he destroyed 400 COCONUT TREEs in his THOPPU when GANDHI and PERIAR told to demonstrate against alcoholism.
See the DMK is ruled by a Isai Vellala [Karunanidhi]. The ADMK ruled by again a VELLALA NAIR [MGR].
But they never helped the FC VELLALAs, not because of their IDEOLOGY, but because of their FEAR of the KNOWLEDGE of the FC VELLALAs and HATE of the FC people, who once ruled them, once isolated them as lower people.
Even Kalaingayr Karunanidhi once sarcastly told in Tanjore DMK Mahanadu, the FC Pillais are "Poonool Podatha Parpanargal"
The same Thamil Inath Thaliavar bowed to Indira Gandhi and accepted her verdict of making new dams in Karnataka thereby causuing lots of social degradation of the KAVERI FC VELLALA PILLAIs and KARKARTHARs and BRAHMINS who were the land owners across the KAVERI BELT.
So, the ways are TWO.
1. Intermarry heavily with other PILLAI OBC/MBC castes -not blindly but with caution and study reg. suitabilty economically.
2. Intermarry with SC/ST, NADAR, MOOPANAR etc.-not blindly but with caution and study reg. suitabilty economically.
3. Give full attention to studies of your children and become a decent knowledge worker. Today We see lots of SOFTWARE, HARDWARE fields are in control by PILLAI people. They can do better as academicians, scientists, bankers,lawyers.
4. Avoid Businesses. If you are so much interested, then follow the successful COLOMBO VELLALA models, follow the successful RMKV, DA texiles as exapmles.
5. Never boast of your past, work for today, laurels will reach you.
6. Future is still bright if you are ready to leave the old baggage.
Time to Time I will write to you more, I hope you are all ready to hear me.

I read your notes on Pillai community to excel. As such the governement is not ready to support the FC people. So the best one is to form a trust and appoint some great devoted pillai to take care of the trust so that people would trust the Trust. Now, we are not given any financial help by the government for our education, Right? So collect funds from our people. Why should we pay income tax a lot. Rather income tax can be partially paid to our trust which would be used for our pillai peopel to educate their pupil. What i mean to say is rather than expecting the government to support our children why shouldn't we support ourself.

Your understanding of Illathu Pillai is totally wrong. House making(or contractors) was not their trade.
The actual name was "Ezhathu Pillai" and that changed to Illathu Pillai in course of time.
The pillai's migrated from Ceylon long long ago are called Ezhathu Pillai.
I accept Ganesh statement of Illathu Pillaimar.ReplyDelete
Vanakam Pasu Ji,ReplyDelete
There seem to be approx 150 endogamous clans in the modern Vellalar fold. This includes non-Pillai Vellalar like Mudaliar and Kavundar.
Perhaps it will be good to consolidate these 150 different groups as one community.
Looking forward to read more about the Vellalars in your blog.
Kerala has made proficiency in Malayalam is a must to get Government jobs.
This move will adversely affect the communities like Nadar, Pillais, Nairs and Ezhavas who live in both side of the Border. It is customary for a Malayali living at Kanyakumari and Ooty to study in the Tamil Meedium. Now they cant get a job in Kerala. Similarly Sozhia Vellalars of Kerala though originally from Chola country might not know Tamil.
The higher administrative Officers of Kerala mostly from Northern India normally need not have proficiency in Malayalam and need not write exam to prove it. The Higher administrative officers from Kerala working in Madras need not have Tamil proficiency. But poor job seeker who want to become a peon or watch man cant get a job in Kerala Government job unless he passe an exam.
Nadar Pillais and Latin Christians who marry across borders will be the worst affected. Anti Dravidianism was practised by the British. The German Christian missionaries such as Arnos Padiri and Gundert glorified Sanskrit and Tulu writing system.
Dravidians dont have linguistic borders either. Thus the Villavars who once ruled Kerala are scattered throughout Southern India (Villavar Bana) etc.
The British made the Tulu Sanskrit language of Nambudiris, the Tulu Grantha Bhasa as Malayalam while banning the indigenous Malayanma (Malayalam-Tamil or Lingua Malabar Tamul) in the 19th century. The Portuguese admixture with Tamil Panickers had a new group of Christians called Mestizos in the 16th century. Portuguese and Dutch used to print Malayanma books with tamil Script from Ambazhakkad and Melur near Angamaly, Quilon and Thalassery. But British started the Tulu Grantha Bhasa of Nambudiris as Mallayalam in the 19th century.
The Syrian Christians were taught Grantha Malayalam in 1815 AD when they opened the Kottayam seminary. Before the British arrival Sanskrit or Tulu Grantha Malayalam was never used by Keralas Christians. Most of the Kerala Christian books were printed with Tamil Types prior to 1800s. Iravikuttipilla Por a Malayanma book closely resembles Tamil.
Until British came the word Malayalam (Malabar) itself meant Tamil. The Malabar English dictionary written in 1796 was a Tamil English Dictionary.
Now Tulu/Tigalari script is used to write Malayalam. Nambudiris Arya Ezhuthu contains many Prakrit and Sanskrit brought from Ahichatra their home town in Uttarkhand.
While promoting the Tulu Tigalari writing system in Kerala the British banned Tulu writing system in Mangalore where they promoted Kannada there.
Malayalam made mandatory for government jobs in KeralaReplyDelete
Candidates who had not studied Malayalam up to Class X, Class XII or graduation will have to pass the Senior Higher diploma course under the Malayalam Mission after they get appointment.
The existing provisions of the Kerala Service Rules (KSR) would be applicable to persons belonging to the Tamil and Kannada minority groups. But The Rule X of the KSR has stipulated that members of the Kannada and Tamil minorities need to pass Malayalam exam within 10 years of their joining the service.
Civil service officers hailing from other States but posted in Kerala are required to pass written and oral tests in Malayalam conducted by the PSC to be considered for increment and promotions.
This will affect those communities who live in both Tamilnadu and Kerala. Nadars and Pillais will be the worst affected. Many Malayali Nadars have been studying Tamil when they reside in Tamil Nadu. Similarly Nairs and Ezhavas who reside in Kanyakumari Ooty and Neyveli study Tamil. Now they cant get jobs unless they pass the qualifying exam in Malayalam. At least eight percent of Tamil Nadus population have Kerala roots. Now they would find difficult to find Kerala Government jobs. Those with mixed origin cant become a forest guard unless he passes the qualifying exam in Kerala.
There were two kinds of Languages in Kerala in the beginning of 19th century. One was Malayalam (Malayala Tamil) the majority language. The second one was the Sanskritised language of Nambudiris called Grantha Bhasa written with Tulu script.
The British colonial rulers managed to ban Malayanma and all its books and started promoting the Grantha Malayalam written with Tulu script.
The mother tongue of majority of Malyalis used to be a Tamil like language called Malanma (Malayalam-Tamil). Until 19th century most of the Malayalis were using Malanma (Malayalma) which was considered one of the three forms of Tamil Kodunthamil (Tamil, Senthamil and Kodunthamil). Portuguese called this native language of Malayalis Lingua Malabar Tamul. Or Malayala Tamil. This language was devoid of Sanskrit words.
Malayanma used different writing systems.
1)Malayanma script was used in southern Kerala which was a derivative of Tamil Vattezuthu
2)Kolezhuthu or Crown language a system implemented by King Rajaraja Chola
3)Modern Tamil Script was used by the Keralas Christians until 19th century. Not only Kerala Christians were using Tamil Script they never used Sanskrit or the Modern Tulu-Malayalam script until the British started teaching them in the 19th century.
Francis White Ellis who studied Malayalma in 1815 considered it as Kodunthamil. Most of the Malayanma books written with Tamil script appear to be Tamil.
HOW BRITISH BANNED THE MALAYANMA (MALAYALAM-TAMIL)ReplyDelete
Tulu (Tigalari) script was used by Nambudiris who make hardly 3 percent of Keralas population to write their highly Sanskritised works . This language was called Grantha Bhasha and the European Missionaries called it Lingua Samscrudonicam. Grantha Bhasa contained more than 80 percent Sanskrit and 20 percent Malayalam(Tamil). The Tulu script or Tigalari script was used by Nambudiris because they migrated from Ahichatram in Uttarkhand to Tulunadu and then to Kerala in the second millennium. Tigalari script was a variant of Pallava Grantha script. Tigala people were the Karnataka subgroup of Tamil Vanniars. Tigalari was used to write religious books in Karnataka.
Portuguese in the 16th century initially used Portuguese or Latin Script to write Malayanma of Kerala Christians. Alternating lines of Malaynma and Portuguese language were written.
This language was then called Lingua Malabar Tamul or Tamil of Malabar (Kerala).
Then the Kerala Christian works were printed using Tamil Script. The Malayanma-Tamil books were printed from Quilon Angamaly and Thalassery until 19th century.
Copenhagen copy of Flos Sanctorum was printed using Tamil Script at the Dutch printing press at Ambazhakadu (Ambalacatta) near Angamaly in 1680. Thus Keralas Christians were using a Tamil like language until 19th century. No Modern Malayalam Christian books can be found in Kerala before the British arrival. Kerala Christians were using Tamil predominantly and Suriyani law books and Portuguese books in the early periods until 19th century.
European colonial rule strengthened the Nepalese tribes from Ahichatram who migrated from Kerala. Matriarchal clans of Kerala with Tulunadu and Nepal/Uttarkhand origin appeared after the attack of Delhi Sulthanate in 1310 AD under Malik Kafur. After this period many of the Tulunadus Bunts subgroups such as Nayara Menava Kuruba and Samantha appeared in Kerala as rulers and Matriarchy hitherto a custom of Nepal and Tulunadu came to Kerala. Samantha a Bunt subgroup became the Kings of Kerala after 1300s. Thus Bunt/Nairs of Kerala might have moved from Ahichatra in Uttarkhand as mentioned in the Keralolpathy. Many Bunt groups such as Nayara Hegde,Menava, Kuruba and Samanthas appeared in Kerala and Matriarchy appeared in the same time after 1300. The Tulu-Nepalese rulers called themselves Madambi or Madanambi after the Ahichatra Madasthana at Uttarkhand from where they migrated to Kerala.
Samantha, a Bunt subgroup who became the Kerala rulers adopted the Villavar titles such as Kulasekhara. They were known as Samantha Kshatriyas they were not ethnically related to Tamils.
The opportunistic European colonial rulers supported the Tulu-Nepalese tribesmen aganist the local Vellala,Villavar-Panicker people.
Europeans supported the Tulu-Nepalese dynasty with the mixed blooded Mestizo Christians from 1500s. Thus gradually the language of native Dravidian Malayalis, the Malayanma declined as the Tamil rooted people declined in Kerala. European colonialism banned the native Dravidian Malayalam-Tamil and replaced it with Grantha Malayalam of Nambudiris.
The discovery that Sanskrit was closely related to German language led many Europeans to study the Nambudiri language Grantha Bhasa then called Lingua Samscrudonicam. Or Lingua Sancriticum by Europeans.
A Christian Meztizos (mixed Portuguese and Indian ) like Garneiro studied Grantha Bhasa who made the subtitles in Hortus Malabaricus a Botanical Encyclopedia compiled in 1675.
Itti Achuthan the Ezhava author of Hortus Malabaricus was using Malayanma and was using Kolezuthu to write Hortus.
Arnos Padiri a Dutch German missionary was the first European to write in the Grantha Bhasa. He wrote the grammer for the Grantha Bhasa called Grantha Bhasayude Vyakaranam (now often people mistake that he wrote the first Malayalam Grammer).
MALAYANMA (KODUNTHAMIL OR MALAYALAM-TAMIL)ReplyDelete
In the 19th century the British missionaries started promoting Sanskrit language of Namubdiris The Grantha Bhasa written with Tigalari script. The British promoted the Grantha Bhasa as Malayalam while abandoning the Malayanma. In 1815 the British started teaching the Syrian Christian priests Grantha Bhasa of Nambudiris at Church Mission Society Kottayam. In 1844 the British started a Sanskrit college under Father Chavara Kuriakose Achan. No Kerala Christian books written with modern Malayalam script or language can be found prior to the British established their rule in the 19th century.
However the Europeans did not succed in their efforts to replace Malayanma completely. In the latter period the Malayanma words got integrated to Grantha Bhasa and a Grantha Malayalam written with Tigalari (Tulu) script was made the standard in the 19th century.
Destruction of Malayanma also destroyed most of the traditional Malayanma books in Kerala.
Actually Kerala has only few books written by Nambudiris in the 17th century onwards which are basically Sanskrit books with eighty percent Sanskrit and 20 percent Malayalam.
Some books from Malayanma era do exist.
Many of the Palm leaf manuscripts of Kerala display a language which closely resemble Tamil. Ravikuttipilla Por a book written in 17th century at Travancore virtually indistinquishable from Tamil. Vadakkan Pattukal and few other Kerala folk songs don't use Sanskrit as Malayanma used no Sanskrit.
Now many of the Dravidian Malayalis never realize how the British duped them by teaching them Grantha Bhasa written with Tulu Script. But Nadan Malayalam hardly uses Sanskrit and its coming back once again. Strangely Malayalam is much more closer to Sangham Tamil than modern Tamil. Thus all the words in Thirukural can be found in Malayalam not in Tamil despite the fact it is Sancritised.

Mr. pasug, hai how are you. Why you admitted these crooks like vilmeenkodi. Plz delete these unworthy comments without any proof. If these vilmeenkodi having evidence just print the inscription to point the royalty of these palm-wine servants.ReplyDelete
Where is the evidence of having shanar for vil(bow) or meen(fish) embelem.
If villavars are shanars where is the archery for skill of bow is there any evidence.
These frauds are only liquor transmitters and palm juice extractor. The shanars curse chola king karikalan for took them slavery to build a dam in "Agila thirattu ammanai".
If they are pandiyars means where is the name for "meenavan" or "Madurai kavalan" having any evidence. No. Is there evidence for shanars worship "Meenakshi amman". They dhinathanthi sivanthi aathitha nadir claim linege of kannada king "Vengala raja" who defeted "Vettum Perumal Pandiyan".
If they are pandiyan means why they claim the kannada king. Dilamo frauds.

Not these frauds. Without having the skill of bow and archery no one claim Villavars.
And who is arya Chakravarthi?ReplyDelete
Kaling Maga a Chola-ganga prince invaded Sinhala society in 12th century who was the lineage of rajendra chola clan who appointed in kalinga later in years fall of tamil chola the cola ganga make a invasion of srilanka. Kalinga Magha,mention as a "Tamil King" from kalinga in mahavamsa why? Because he from chola-ganga tamil clan. He appointed "jeya bahu deva" this lineage is extend as "Chola ganga deva" as pandiyan genral appointed in jaffana.
He is the founder of Arya chakravarthi. The name "Arya chakravarthi" is mean for SriRama god of Thiruppullani , deity Deivasilaiyan raman who is called "Raman,the Aryachakravarthi" by sanskritization.
So the rulers of "Chola-ganga" clan of ary ckravarthi claim the title of Tiruppullani god "Raman arya chkravarthi" victory of srilanka. It does not mean for Brahmin . it mean God rama defet ravanna.
Who aryachakravarthi belong to?
The Maravar's connections with Jaffna will be examined elsewhere in this study, especially in view of a recent attempt by a Jaffna historian to show that the early colonists of Jaffna were Maravar and that the rulers of Jaffna belonged to the Sethupathy clan of that caste.

Kalinga Magha was a prince from the Kingdom of Kalinga which was in the Orissa state of modern India. His family was connected to the rulers of Ramanathapuram in Tamil Nadu. Kalinga Magha's relatives of Ramanathapuram administered the famous temple of Rameswaram.[1]
The brutality of the Maravar invaders has bequeathed the word "maravara balaya" to the Sinhala language to denote the power of brutality, extreme cruelty and intimidation displayed first by the Maravar warriors of Kalinga Magha. NJ cites several comparable cases from diverse cultures across the globe. Without condoning it, Jayaweera says that the brutality of the modern LTTE is only a manifestation of this historical barbarism of the Maravars.

So aryacakravarthi and sethupathi belong to chola-ganga clan of cholas.
Mahabali vanathirayars?ReplyDelete
Is thes also belong to these untouchable frauds no. South India after pandya dynasty mahabali vanathiryars belong to Vettu mahabali Agamudyars(Generals),Nattar ambala Kallars and Thuluva vellalar (Ministers) who governed in Madurai territory. In Tanjavur and Thiruvannamalai Pargavagula udayars and vanniyars also belong to these clans. IN kongu some of the kongu vellala goundars having vanathirayar title.
Mahabali vanathirayar belong to Very ancient Chera clan called "VANAVAR" from prahalatha and mahabali of kerala putra or Chera kingdom.
Velir tradition where supposed mix with Vellalars.
Who are pandiyars?
The pandiyars are hailing supposed to be two clans only Maravar and Parathavar. But the account of Narasa nayaka ,father of Krishna deva raya defeted "Marava ruler of Madurai". "Madura mahesam maravaya thathvam" in his aamulya abhyuktham.It supposed to be that in account he defeted Manakavasan,korkai pandiyan and Five pandiyars of tenkasi only not other rulers in tamil nadu. So the Manakavasan belong to maravar clan.
Anjukottai Nadalvar- Today also living Anjukottai Nattu ambalam(anjukothu maravar) claim as "Thiruvadanai pandiyar" facing Vishwanatha nayakkar in his invasion. Today in thiruvadanai,anjukottai you see the anjukootai ambalam.
Who are Nadalvars?ReplyDelete
These frauds claim their caste name as "Nadalvars" instead of shanars. If they are Nadalvars means which country they ruled whether it small or big. What is the name of country . what is the caste name whether shanar or nadar?shittttttttttttttttttttttt
Nadalvars are nothing but the "Nattamai"karars in late or "Nattar" or two or more joined village administers. Some place it called as "nattu ambalam".
Nattars are belong only to mukkulathors,vellalars,udayars,vanniyars,mutharayars only not these frauds.
From Thanjavur to pudhukottai to Madurai a large number of Kallars having nattar title admin these smalla areas. Same udayars are "Seemai naatars " for north Cauvery region. In vanniyar area vanniyar are nattars and mutharayar area so. In kongu and pudhukottai regions "Vellalars" hailing as nattars.
Maravars are lot of nadalvar title in inscription adhaliyur nadalvan,anjukottai nadalvan,kalvayil nadalvan,kodumbai nadalvan,karkudi nadalvan,rajasinga nadalvan..etc….later lot of palaiyams are govern by these existing "Nadalvars or Arayars" in Kingship tradion.

SHANAN One 374 of the good qualities of Sir Thomas Munro, formerly Governor of Madras, was that, like Rama and Rob Roy, his arms reached to his knees, or, in other words, he possessed the kingly quality of an Ajanubahu, which is the heritage of kings, or those who have blue blood in them.

Who is this Caste of Srilanka Toddy tapping?Delete
The Durava - toddy tappers or royalty?
by ASIFF HUSSEIN
The Durava community can boast of a long presence in Sri Lanka which may date back to several centuries or even millennia if their claims to Naga ancestry are to be taken seriously. Yet this largely coastal population has had to struggle hard to debunk a myth perpetuated since Portuguese times that they are toddy tappers, one which they believe lowers them in the eyes of other men.
The Hastiya Maha Kodiya or great elephant flag of the Gajanayaka Nilame who is believed to have been a prominent Durava official in the days of the Sinhalese Kings.
Spokesmen for the caste contend that they are descendants of the long-lost Nagas, of royalty and aristocracy, of soldiers and elephanteers, but certainly not tappers of toddy. In support of this they point out that only a few Durava families today engage in the tapping of toddy in areas such as Payagala and Kochchikade and that they are not the only caste who do so. They also point out that the family name Madinage or House of the tapper is a rare one among them when compared to other hereditary family names denoting military occupations, literary activity, pastoral pursuits and so on. It is not surprising then that this proud people have gone to great lengths to debunk this myth. Mention here must be made of the Sri Lanka Durava Sangama, later the Maha Saviya Padanama which was established in 1970 to safeguard Durava interests. The society headed by a monk named Ananda Ahangama led a legal campaign against the inclusion of Durava as 'toddy tappers' in the Prayogika Sinhala Sabdakoshaya edited by Harischandra Wijetunga and published by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs in 1982. This resulted in the ministry agreeing to expunge the offensive words in all past, present and future publications of the dictionary.
Shanars.?These are believed to be emigrants from Ceylon,
from whence they migrated during the Pandean dynasty, and
found their way into Madura and Tinnevelly, bringing with
them the palmyra palm seed; and, having obtained the sandy
wastes of these district coasts, began their cultivation, and up
to the present time claim seigniorage over these tracts. They are
said not to be descendants of the Cingalese race, but to belong
to some ancient Tamil people, who are said to have colonised
the north of Ceylon at an early period of the Chala and Pandean
reigns. Their language is Tamil,

Dear Manu Needi Chozhan Sir,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your RIGHT comments.
Yes. I know SHANARS NADARS are not the original PANDIYANS.
Pandiya Vellalars were the original Pandiyan Kings.
Pandiya Vellalar Kings History comes in Nankudi Vellalar Varalaru.
Chera Vellalar Kings still rule Kerala Cherala Choram pona Chera Vellalar vamsam, which took roots from Venad, Moosu Kuntha Naadu, Kodumbaloor Velir clans.
Udaiyars of Karnataka and Moopanars are also part of SENGUNTHA MOOSUKUNTHA MUSUKUNTHA KUNTHI people of SETHI CHEDI rayars.
CHEDI means plant vamsam - chedi - kodi - kozhunthu.
CHOLA is a name from CHOLA MANDALAM - the CORN plant
CHOLAM - the yellow corn - pop corn plant.
THONDAI mandalam - means AA THONDAI chakravarthy - the THONDAI NAATTU Vellalar vamsam - the AA THONDAI chakravarthy mudaliyars.
We Pillaimars, Royal Sons, Mudhaliyars - the INFANTRY REGIMENTS, the
Chettiyars - the vaaniya bania people are the ORIGINAL AARIYARs.
NADAR SHANARS can now become aariyars if they join us, mix with us,
inter marry with us.
Just like BRAMMA KSHATRIYARS were made from mixing kshatriya and aariyars, just like that KALLAR MARAVAR KANATHATHOR AGAMUDAIYAR mella maruvi VELLALAR aayinarey.....
All castes of Tamils should be allowed to mobilise, move upwards as a Vellalar.
Then only Tamilnadu can be peaceful.

We Vellalars made these Nairs, Nayaks for our military work we used them.
We expected NAI DOG type nanri, gratitude from them so we named their caste as nayars, nairs, nayikkas, nayakkars etc.

I accept that VIL MEEN KODI SHANAR NADAR is a FRAUD.
He is simply coming here on anonymous names and putting bullshit here.
I agree that NADARs dont have any GLORIOUS past.
But we must accept latest modern hard working nadars and take them as panayeri vellalars and mix with them for safe guarding tamil language, culture.
Why to fight and divide tamils?
Dear MANU NEEDHI CHOZHAN,ReplyDelete
Yes i also agree that north indian - CHANDELA kings who built Khajuraho were also ancestors of CHANDELARS, CHANDALARS, CHANDARs, Chanars, Shanars.
May be the Chandelar Kings have connections with Singhala Shanars, Singhala Eelavas, Ezhathu Pillaimars later called as Ezhavas, later known as Illathu Pillaimars and later founded the NARYANA GURU iyakkam.
Same Ezhava Pillaimars, Ilathu Pillaimars joined with Ayya Vazhi iyakkam of Kanyakumari district.
I am happy that Ezathu Pillais, Ezhavars, Ezhavas of Kerala and Sanars are all putting Pillaimar title.
Slowly all caste must become united.
We all Tamils must unite one as VELLALARS.
We all Tamils even the SC ST people must call themselves as DEVENDRA KULA VELLALARS
just like Kallar Maravar Kanathathor Agamudaiyar Mella Maruvi Vellalar Aayinare
all Tamil castes must become AARYANISED.
AARYANSED means to become good.
to become VEGANs.
to become GODLY.
to become close to SHIVA VISHNU.
thats all.

Banavasi Kingdom ruled the Uttara Kannada the areas of South of Goa in ancient times it was called Gokarna.
Santara Kingdom was founded by a Prince from the Mathura Kingdom called Jindaditta at 690 ad. Santaras ruled from Santalige in Banavasi. Santara rulers were Jains but in the late 15th century they had leanings towards Veera Shaiva sect of Hinduism. Santaras ruled from Billeswar hill at Humcha. Channa Giri near Agastya Giri was another important city.

In 1209 Facing opposition Santaras shifted their kingdom from Humcha to kalasa in Chikmagalore district and later at 14th century to Karkala in South Kanara. Karkalas old name was PANDYA NAGARI. They were called as SANTARA VEERA PANDYAS and after their conversion to Hinduism they adopted the title Bhairarasa Odeyar (Wodiyar Udayar). Some of the old Santaras of Humcha still ruled Humcha until 1320 ad.
1300 SANTARA VEERA PANDYA built Jain Basadis at Karkala.
at the insistence of his Guru Lalitakeerti the pontiff of Karkala Jaina Math installed a large statue of BAHUBALI (Gomatheswara) on the rocky hill of Karkala. He is also the most famous Santara Pandyan dynasty ruler.

Nadavara were Kshatriya aristocracy who descended from Bana Kingdoms of Karnataka. Nadavara shifted their loyalty to Vijayanagar kingdom leading to the fall of Bana-Pandya kingdoms of Uttara Kannada. The Nadavaras of Uttara Kannada descend from the Kadamba, Bana Pandyas of Nurumbada and the Santara Pandyan Kingdoms. Nadavara had been Jains and many were converted to Hinduism in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Northern Nadavara of Uttara kannada are Patriarchal while their southern counterparts Nadavaras of Alupas Pandyan kingdom were Matriarchal. The Kannada speaking Nadavara of Mangalore have become subcastes of Naga Bunts and have adopted Matriarchy
ALUPAS PANDYAN KINGDOMReplyDelete
Alupas Pandyan emblem was double fish. King was called Banapperumal. They shared the Kulasekhara title of Villavars. Nadavar of Alupas Pandyan kingdom mixed with the slave warriors called Bunts (Buntaru) who were of Naga stock brought from Ahichatra in Nepal (Now in Uttarkhand Rampur). The Kannada speaking Nadavara are now a subcaste of Matriarchal Bunts who speak Tulu. Billavas role in laterday alupas Pandyan kingdom is not clear. The Naga Bunts were originally brought by Kadamba king Mayuravarma who is credited with bringing Nagas and Aryans to Kadamba kingdom in 345 AD. In the latedays Nagas migrated to Alupas Kingdom. The Naga mixed Banas would attack their Villavar cousins eventually leading to downfall of both dynasties.
Keralolpathi mentions a Banapperumal attacking Kerala with a 350000 strong Nair army. Thus the Tamil Later Chera Villavar kingdom came to an end in 1102 after the attack of Banapperumal ( Bhanu Vikrama Kulasekharapperumal according to Kerala legends). Kulasekhara (1102-1120 ad ) might have ruled from Valarpattinam near Kannur. His successor who was the brother of Tulu king Kaviraja simhan (Kavi Alupendra) declared himself to be Cheraman Perumal thus establishing a short lived Tulu Chera dynasty. Various Tulu Bunt subcastes such as Nayara Menava Kuruba and Samantha became prominent after this attack. The last (Tulu) Cheraman Perumal(1120-1156) faced opposition from his own army when he executed his trusted general Pada Mala Nair.
The Tulu Cheraman Perumal or Banapperumal left for Arabia after dividing the Chera country among his supporters. Samanthas a Bunt subgroup who were of Naga stock and originally from Ahichatra became rulers of Kerala. Udayavarman Kolathiri a Samantha Kshatriya of Naga stock was crowned by the leaving Tulu Cheraman Perumal with the title Cheraman Vadakkan Perumal.
Pandyans of Madurai subjucated Kerala and ruled until 1310 but after that period the Bunt subgroups the Samanthas, Nayara, Menava and Kuruba became dominant in Kerala with Delhi support. Four Tulu Samantha rulers were appointed in Kerala after Malik Kafurs invasion in 1310. Kolathiri of Kannur, Samuthiri of Kozhikode, Perumbadappu of Kochi, and Attingal Queen in Travancore Kindgom
The Portuguese Dutch and British further protected theTulu-Nepalese Samantha dynasties of Kerala by providing them with Spice money and weapons. Europeans also encouraged their Barbaric customs.
The last Vilarvattom dynasty with its Panicker martial trainers joined the Portuguese eventually loosing their identity. In the mid 15th century the Vilarvattom king ruling over Chendmangalam who had become a Christian sent a letter to Pope through Edessa which was forwarded to Portuguese king (Lisbon papers). But Portuguese never bothered to reinstall them as rulers. Vallikada Panickers, a dynasty of Generals led the Portuguese and Dutch armies. Panikkan or Panikkanadan was a Villavar title of Martial arts and War elephant trainers. Vlllikada Panickers, Maranadu Panickers, Kumbanadu Panickers, Mylottu Panickers are important Christian Panickers. Rattepalli originally a Bana title is owned by some Christian Panickers of Kerala.
Alaga Kon a Chera prince from Vanjipura (Kodungaloor) migrated to Sri Lanka who built the Jeyavardhanapura Kotte near Colombo and started a new dynasty after 1310. Sadasiva Panickan an elephant trainer was a migrant from Kerala married the sister of king Parakrama Bahu of Kotte. Sadasiva Panickars son was Sempaha perumal (1452) alias Sapumal Kumarayya who defeated and ruled over Northern Arya Chakravarthi Kingdom and eventually became king of Kotte (Colombo) with title Buveneka Bahu VI.
CHERA PANDYA TITLES MISUSED BY SAMANTHASReplyDelete
The Samantha rulers of Kerala installed after the invasion of Malik Kafur in 1310 were not related to the Earlier Chera Villavar rulers.
Villavar Cheras were Tamils
Samantha are Bunt subgroup of Tulunadu. Bunts in turn were migrants from Ahichatra in Nepal in 345 a.d.
Tamil Chera dynasty promoted Tamil. Chera wrote with Vattezuthu and Kolezhuthu ancient forms of Tamil.
The Samanthas wrote with Tigalari script a form of Tulu language. Modern Malayalam is written with Tigalari script. Their language contained Prakrit, Sanskrit words because of their Northern origin.
Chera Kings had Tamil titles such as Villavar Kon Vanavar Kon Malayar Kon
Samantha Kings never had Tamil titles. They added Birth star as a prefix to their names. Eg Moolam Thirunal Anizham Thirunal etc
Villavar Kings were Patrilnieal
Samanthas were Matrilineal
Villavars had Tamil culture
Samanthas had Tulu-Nepalese culture
Villavar Kings married from Villavar dynasties and other Kshatriya dynasties
Samantha Queens courted in a brief ceremony called Kootirupu with Nambuthiriis
The Tulu-Nepalese dynasty of Samantha rulers though of Naga stock and ethnically different from Villavar continued to use Chera and Pandyan titles such as Kulasekhara Perumal Villavar and Vanchibala along with the Delhi Sulthante given title Shamsher Jung.
Nambuthiris claim descent from Parasu Raman (Bhargava Raman) a Brahmin warrior who killed all the Kshatriyas. Parasu Raman belonged to the Chedi Kingdom, the presentday Bundelkhand (Uttarpradesh, Madhyapradesh). Nambuthhiris claim that they belong to the Bhargava Kulam. The Matriarchal Samantha-Nambuthiri dynasties continue to claim that they descend from Bhargava Kulam as well as Pandyas and Cheras.
The Banas of Uttara Kannada, the NADAVARA joined the Vijayanagara armies.
The Alupas Pandyas of Dakshina Kingdom merged with Nagas eventually attacking Chera Kingdom
The Banas of Andhrapradesh and Perumbanappadi eventually merged with Naickers of Naga stock. The Balija Naickers attacked the Chola and Pandyan kingdoms leading to fall of all the Villavar kingdoms.
Balija-Nayak Kingdoms were installed in Tamil Nadu in the place of Chola Pandyan Kingdoms. Briefly Banas were installed at Madurai as rulers by the Vijayanagara Naiks in the 15th century. After this Banas also disappear from history.

THE LEGEND OF KADAVIL CHANANMAR AND CHANATTYReplyDelete
Kadavil Chanatty who was instrumental in building the Eramathoor Pattambalam Devi Kshetram near Mannar Alapuzha District 700 years ago.
ധനാഡ്യരായ കടവില് ചാന്നാന്മാര് ഇടപ്പള്ളി തമ്പുരാന്റെ ആജ്ഞാനുസരണം പത്തേമാരികളിലും ചെറിയ പായ്ക്കപ്പലുകളിലും അന്യദേശങ്ങളില് നിന്ന് സാധനങ്ങള് ഇറക്കുമതി ചെയ്തും ഇവിടുത്തെ ഉല്പ്പന്നങ്ങള് ശേഖരിച്ച് അന്യനാടുകളില് വിറ്റും വ്യാപാരം നടത്തിയിരുന്നു.
Rich chieftains called Kadavil Chananmar were serving Edappally King. Kadavil Chananmar using Sailing ships and Boats were importing from foreign countries, and also collected the local produce and sold them in foreign countries.
കൊടുങ്ങല്ലൂരില് നിന്നും ദേവിയെ ആവാഹിച്ചു താളമേളങ്ങളോടെ ദേവീ സ്തുതി ആലപിച്ചുകൊണ്ടുവന്നപ്പോള് സ്തുതി ഗീതങ്ങളും താളമേളങ്ങളും ഇരമത്തൂര് കരയുടെ തെക്കേ അറ്റത്തുള്ള കടവില് കേള്ക്കാനിടയായി .
Meanwhile the Edappally King who had authority over Mannar in that era spiritually invited the Kodungalur Devi to the Temple he built at Eramathoor. With Drum and devotional music the idol was brought to Eramathoor shore.
അവിടുത്തെ തലമൂത്ത ചാന്നാടി കൊട്ടുമേളത്തിന്റെ വിവരം തിരക്കിയപ്പോള് വല്ല്യത്തു കാരണവര് ഭഗവതിയെ കൊടുങ്ങല്ലൂരില് നിന്നും ആവാഹിച്ച് കൊണ്ടുവരുന്നതാണെന്ന് ആരോ പറഞ്ഞറിഞ്ഞു. ഇതു കേട്ടതും ചാന്നാടി ഇപ്രകാരം പറഞ്ഞു. ശക്തിയുള്ള ഭഗവതിയാണെങ്കില് എന്റെ കടവില് അടുക്കട്ടെ അങ്ങനെയടുത്താല് ഞാന് ഒരുവട്ടിപ്പണവും ഒരു കുത്തുപട്ടും കാണിക്ക അര്പ്പിക്കാം.
From the Kadavil shore south of Eramathoor shore an Elderly Chanatty heard the sound of Drum beatings and asked about it. Somebody told her that the Big lord (Edappally King) was bringing Kodungaloor Godess to Eramathoor.
When she heard this Chanatty said like this
If the Bhagvathi is powerful goddess let her come to my Kadvil shore.
If she reaches here I will offer her Money and a Silk cloth.
ഇങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞതും വള്ളം പങ്കായക്കാരുടെ നിയന്ത്രണം വിട്ട് നേരെ തെക്കോട്ട് കുതിച്ചു. കടവില് വന്നടുത്തു. കൂടെയുണ്ടായിരുന്ന വെളിച്ചപ്പാട് അനുഗ്രഹിച്ച് തുള്ളി ചാന്നാട്ടിയെ സമീപിച്ചു. ചാന്നാട്ടി ഭയഭക്തി ബഹുമാനത്തോടു പറഞ്ഞപ്രകാരം പ്രവര്ത്തിച്ചു.
When the Chanatty said this the boat carrying the idol, lost control of the Boatmen and started moving towards Kadavil and reached the shore.
The Vellichappadu (Oracle) who was in the boat blessed Channaty.
Channaty after paying obeisance to the Goddess she submitted her offerings to the Goddess.
ചാന്നാട്ടിയുടെ ഉപഹാരം സ്വീകരിച്ച് തിരികെ പോരാന് തുടങ്ങുമ്പോള് എനിക്കൊന്നുമില്ല - എന്ന് ചാന്നാടി ചോദിച്ചു. എന്റെ ഭൂതഗണങ്ങളില് രണ്ടുപേരെ നിന്റെ രക്ഷക്കായി ഇവിടെ നിര്ത്തിയിട്ട് ഞാന് പോകുന്നു. ആണ്ടില് ഒരിക്കല് നിന്നെ വന്നു കണ്ടുകൊള്ളാമെന്ന് അരുളപ്പാടുണ്ടായി അതാണ് ഇന്നത്തെ വലിയ വീട്ടില് ദേവീ ക്ഷേത്രം.
After accepting the offerings of Chanatty when the Godess was about turn back Chanatty asked
Nothing for me ?
I will leave two of my Bootha Ganams with you for your security. In each year I will come and visit you
The Godess Granted.
This temple is the present day VALIAVEETIL DEVI KSHETRAM.
THE LEGEND OF KADAVIL CHANANMAR AND CHANATTYReplyDelete
പഴയ ആചാരം അനുസരിച്ച് പറയ്ക്കെഴുന്നുള്ളുമ്പോള് അവിടെ എഴുന്നിള്ളിച്ചിരുത്തി വട്ടപ്പണത്തിന്റെയും പട്ടിന്റെയും സ്മരണക്കായി പത്തു പണവും ഉടയാടയും അവിടെ നിന്നു നല്കുന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നു.
According to the old traditons the procession of Godess ten coins and Silk Cloth were offered as the Round coins and Silk cloth offered by the Channaty.
Even after the fall of Chera kingdom in 1102 and Pandyan Kingdoms in 1310 AD a powerful clan of Kadavil Chananmar existed in the Ambalapuzha kingdom. Kadavil Chananmar under the order of Edappally Nambiadiri a Brahmin dynasty owned Sailing ships and Boats with which they went to foreign countries for trade.
BHARGAVA KULAMReplyDelete
Bhargava Raman alias Parasuraman was an ancient sage from Chedi Kingdom (Haihaya Kingdom). Chedi Kingdom occupied presentday Bundelkhand (Madyapradesh Uttarpradesh) area.
Parashurama is worshipped as mūlapuruṣa, or male ancestral founder, of the Niyogi, Bhumihar, Chitpavan, Devrukhe, Daivadnya, Mohyal, Tyagi, Anavil and Nambudiri Brahmincommunities.
Nambuthiris claim that they belong to the Bhargava kulam.
Nambuthis migrate from Ahichatra in Uttarkhand-Nepal border to south.
The invasion of Malik Kafur in 1310 led to the defeat of
Tamil Pandyan kingdom and all the Villavar kingdoms of Kerala came to an end.
Kerala was given to Tulu-Nepalese dynasties by Malik Kafur. The Tulunadus Bunt subgroups such as Nayara Menava Kuruba and Samantha became the rulers of Kerala.
Samantha a sub group of Tulunadus Bunt community became Kings of Kerala. The Samanthas had the support of Delhi Sulthanate. In the same period Mabar kingdom alias Madurai Sulthanate was established at Madurai.
Nambuthiris and Bunt/Nairs had migrated from Ahichatra in Uttarkhand-Nepal border to Karnataka in 345 AD. The Bunt/Nairs had been in Karnataka from fourth century onwards long before they became dominant in Kerala in 1310 AD.
Thus Nambudiris and Samanthan Nairs became kings of various kingdoms of Kerala in 1310 and Matriarchy became the rule of succession in the same period. Samantha kingdoms were established at Kannur (Kolathiri), Calicut (Samuthiri), Kochi and Travancore(Attingal Rani)
The Samantha rulers followed Matriarchy, added their birtstars before their names (Chithira Thirunal, Ayilyam Thirunal etc) unlike Tamil Chera rulers. After a Samantha king his sisters son became the king. Until 1310 the Tamil Ay Chera Pandyan Villavar dynasties had followed Patrilineal descendency only.
The Samantha rulers of Kerala adopted the old Tamil Villavar names such as Marthandavarma Ramavarma etc
But unlike the Tamil Marthandavarman they used Marthandavarma in the Northern style.
Travancore Samantha rulers even called themselves Villavar. Kulasekhara Perumal title of Villavars was used by them along with Delhi Sulthanate given Shamsher Jung title.
Kerala had many Pandyan principalities such as Ambalapuzha and Poonjar. Poonjar was occupied by aTulu Pandyan dynasty which practices Matriarchy.
Ambalapuzha was occupied by Nambuthiris.
Nambuthiris who occupied Pandyan principalities claim that Pandyan dynasty is from their own Bhargava Kulam.
Some with Kalabhra connections in Tamil nadu also claim descendencey from Bhargava Kulam.
Bhargava Kulam is purely a Brahmin dynasty though Dhusars a Bania - Vaishya clan from Rajastan also claim descendency.
PANANTHARAKAN (Chera), PANAYA MARAN (Pandyan ruler of Srilanka in 1century) PANANKAVIL KOTTARATHIL THIRUVADI (Chera-Ai ruler of Venad) all indicate Villavar ancestry of Chera-Pandyan kingdoms.Replies

HAIHAIYA DYNASTY AND CHEDI KINGDOMDelete
Heheya dynasty was an ancient Yadava dynasty in the ancient Aryavarta. Heheya Dynasty ruled from Chedi Kingdom. Chedi Kingdom was an Aryan-Naga kingdom who spoke Devanagari (Deva=Aryan Nagari) not Dravidian Tamil. Chedi kingdom was situated in Bundelkhand, now divided by Uttarpradesh and Madhyapradesh.
HEHEYA, KALACHURI, BHARGAVA KULAM all belong to Chedi kingom
HEHEYA were of Yadava stock. King Karthaveeryarjuna belonged to the Heheya dynasty.
BHARGAVA KULAM were descendents of Sage Parasuraman who was also called Bhargava Raman. Bhargava kulam was a Brahmin dynasty. Keralas Nambuthiri Brahmins claim descent from Bhargava Kulam.
It is ironic that many from Kalabhra-Naga migrants of Tamilnadu also claim that they too descend from Bhargava kulam.
KALACHURI dynasty of Chedi kingdom is known as KALABHRA in the southen India. KALAPPIRAR KALAPPALAR (Vellala) KALAVAR are their variant names in Tamil Nadu. The Parent community of the Kalachuri and Kalabhra could be north Indian KALWAR community.
KALWARS are found in all the North Indian states.
Kalachuris migrated eastwards and ruled ancient Odisha (Kalinga).King Kharavela fought the Tamil Confederacy in 150 BC in which he won. Kharavela occupied the Northern Tamil Nadu under Cholas. Kharavels chieftains could be VEL ALAR.
Cholas fought with Velir and succeeded in subjugating them.
Facing attack from Greeks Schythians (Saka) Kushans and Parthians many Aryan Naga people started migrating to Southern india starting from 3rd century AD during the Third Tamil Sangham age. Kalabhras eclipsed Villavar kingdoms for more than three hundred years.
The migrants from Chedi Kingdom are called Chedi Rayars.
Kalabhras Chedirayars and Bhargava Kulam all were part of the Yadava-Naga-Aryan Chedi Kingdom. But the southern migrants adopted Dravidian languages and part of the Dravidian community now.

WHAT ABOUT CHAMARS THE WINE-DISTILLARS OR PALM DISTILLARS OF RAJASTAN,PUNJAB AND NORTH INDIA .ReplyDelete
Chamar is one of the untouchable communities, or dalits, who are now classified as a Scheduled Caste under modern India's system of positive discrimination. As untouchables, they were traditionally considered outside the Hindu ritual ranking system of castes known as varna. They are found mainly in the northern states of India and in Pakistan [1][2] and Nepal.
Ramnarayan Rawat posits that the association of the Chamar community with a traditional occupation of tanning was constructed, and that the Chamars were instead historically agriculturists.[3]
The term chamar has also been used as a pejorative word for anyone whom the describer considers to be of low standing.[4]
Billava diasporaReplyDelete
The Billava community population-wise constitutes the largest socio-cultural diaspora in Tulunadu. Currently, they are one of the most dynamic communities of Tulunadu. Traditionally they were archers, hunters, soldiers, toddy tappers, Spirit worshippers etc, The Billava community in Tulunadu has equivalents widespread in other parts of Southern India, like Namdhari in Uttar Kannada, Halepaika and Idiga in Shimoga and Old Mysore State areas, Tiya or Belchada (in Ullal- Kasargodu sector) in southern Tulu areas and many other analogous castes and communities spread all over India.
THE LEGEND OF BILLAVA TWINS KOTI and CHENNAYYADelete
Billava heros Koti and Chennaya lived between 1556 to 1591 AD.
Tulu Ballads called PADANA even today praises the valour and exploits of Koti and Chennaya.
Deyi Baidati the mother of Koti and Chennaya saved the life of the local king PERUMAL BALLALA of Padumale. Koti and Chennaya were brought up by King Perumal Ballala. But later the King Perumal Ballala turned against them and trickly Killed Kotti leading to the suicide of Chennaya.
Kotti and Chennaya were trained in the traditional martial arts of Tulunadu Garadi or Gardi (Kara Adi).
At Karnataka Villavar were called as Banas and the Villavar people were called as Billava. The Villavar aristocracy was called Nadava (Nadalvar).
The Bana Pandyan kings of Tulunadu were called Alupa Arasu or Alupas.
Another dynasty of Banas ruled from Karkala (Pandya Nagari) who were called SANTARA PANDYAN Dynasty.
Nadavas the Pandyan aristocracy fought with the help of Nagas brought from Ahichatra in the Uttarkhand Nepal border. These Nagas brought as hereditary slave warriors were called Bunts or Buntaru.
In the Northern Karnataka the Bana descendents are still called Nadava but in the Southern region in the Tulu country the Kannada speaking Nadavas are a subgroup of Tulu speaking Bunts theri former slaves.
Billava and Nadava are equivalent to the Villavar Nadalvar (Nadar)

Ezhavas and Sanars Never belong to the VILLAVARS. They are Elimites rule the Iran of shepard people Many so-called Dravidian could be from Elam (Haltamti, later Elamite or Atamti), the land east of Tigris in Iran, now called Khuzistan. They crossed the Tian Shan mountain ranges which lies to the north and west of the Taklamakan Desert in the border region of Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan and Xinjiang province of China and in to the northern areas of Pakistan where it joins the Hindukush. (Hence they have a strong proximity to the Altaic (Turkic,Mongol,..) , who are from the same region). Also, the name Thiyyas were designated to Ezhavas in northern Kerala as they came from beyond the Tian Mountains. There is also a migration theory which ties the Ezhavas with the ancient Phoenicians who supposedly arrived by sea in the Gujarat and Sind area about 5000 B.C and who eventually established the Indus Valley Civilization. In this case Ezhavas are a part of the Dravidian stock which was pushed eastward and southward by the invading Aryans in the 2nd millennium B.C. Ezhavas were the followers of Buddhism and hence they were made outcaste by Brahminic domination. The arguments that support Buddhistic past of Ezhavas are the preponderance of Ezhavas in disciplines like Ayurveda and Astrology that has grown significantly in Buddhist India.ReplyDelete

EZHATHU MANNANARDelete
The Izhathu Mannanars were a Thiyya landowning dynasty of Malabar, in the present day Kannur and Kasaragod districts of India, between the 6th and the 12th centuries CE. The word Mannanar derives from TAMIL mannan, meaning king and ar, which pluralises it. Female members were called Ammachiyaars. They were believed to be Buddhists.

JB: LMFAO, Hillary Rotten Clinton's email scandal is her beast that won't die. I don't think a week goes by without a new story on her ever expanding scandals and corruption and lies. I'll bet this causes her minions in the liberal mainslime media more than a little discomfort. After all, the liberal mainslime media has essentially already anointed Hillary Rotten Clinton next president. But like the jackals they are, the liberal mainslime media will ALWAYS go for the jugular when a story presents itself, even if it's about their dear Hillary Rotten Clinton.

Excellent curriculum5 Stars Out Of 5Map Trek covers it!February 27, 2015Excellent curriculumQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5We began our year using another geography program(which we are still using), but I wanted a little more challenge for my 7th grader. Map Trek is complete and we are really excited to add this to our homeschool library and using it through High School!

ToriWatertown, NYAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5The gold standard of homeschool geography!December 16, 2012ToriWatertown, NYAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I can hardly believe that nobody has reviewed this fantastic homeschool resource on Christian Book yet. I gasp at the thought of it! If you are homeschooling, this is the gold standard of geography. Terri Johnson is to geography what Andrew Pudewa is to writing!
I purchased this book and cd before it was released. It sat quietly on our shelf. Until one day I said, we need to do map drills and geography. I went to the internet and searched for a few things. One of my searches lead to Map Trek, I said to myself, I have that. I walked downstairs to the bookshelf and blew the dust of the book. A few weeks later I loaded the cd and realized how incredible this curriculum really is.
This is a complete geography curriculum when used alongside any history curriculum and real books. It covers the geography of every historical era, to include United States history. There are maps and blank maps of each state for state studies. Included is a world geography plan to learn world and U.S. geography in 7 months, through studying one area a month for 7 months. There are large printable maps of the world and continents that can also be used for map drills, one map is labeled the other is blank with grid lines. There are even large blank grid maps for each area that can be completely hand drawn in by older students. I've seen other geography curricula that are similar to this and cost more money.
You are getting maps and outlines of every era from ancient to modern, plus maps and outlines for states, the world, and the continents. There is also a map of the world time zones. Each historical map contains suggested activities for grades 1-12. Historical periods, state geography, and world geography, it's all here. The only things you need to supplement this are a good atlas for reference, a globe, and history books.
Ask Christianbook
Q: Is the book available for purchase separately? I already have the CDs (purchased through CBD) They came without the book for some reason and now I only need the printed book.
At this time, the book is available with the CD-Rom. The CD is also available separately as well.

While I've been off working, John has apparently been at home making this little steak marinade and slathering it on rib-eyes for every friend we have. Maybe even his side girlfriends. Ew I'd be more mad at the fact he was cooking for his mistresses than I would be for the sex part. Is that disturbing or what? It's totally true. Anyhow, I only had the pleasure of trying it for the first time just the other night. And wowza, seriously, IT'S GOOD.
My personal favorite part is that when I asked him where he got the recipe, he said, "I'll email it to you". So I'm thinking John came up with his own special John-coction, but no. Here is the link I got: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/best-steak-marinade-in-existence/
John pretty much Googled, "best steak marinade" and found what is actually the best steak marinade in existence. I actually hope he Googled "best steak marinade in existence" and it came up with this direct hit. Men. So easy.
Instructions are easy. Blend it. Pour it. Soak it. Grill it. Not kidding. This stuff is good. Check out the recipe above and let me know if you love it as much as we do.
Place the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, basil, parsley, garlic powder, minced garlic, and pepper in a blender. Add hot pepper sauce if desired. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds until smooth and kind of green.
Place the steaks in a casserole dosh and pour the marinade it. Cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Grill to perfection.
