suggests a probability that the Shanars are descendants from the Kshatriya or warrior castes of Hindus, or from the Pandiya, Chola or Chera race of kings. Nor is there any distinction to be drawn between the Nadars and the Shanars. Shanar is the general name of the caste, just as Vellala and Maravar designate castes. * Nadar ' is a mere title, more or less honorific, assumed by certain members or families of the caste, just as Brahmins are called Aiyars, Aiyangars, and Raos. All * Nadars ' are Shanars by caste, unless indeed they have abandoned caste, as many of them have by becoming Christians. The Shanars have, as a class, from time immemorial, been devoted to the cultivation of the palmyra palm, and to the collection of the juice, and manufacture of liquor from it. There are no grounds whatever for regarding them as of Aryan origin. Their worship was a form of demonology, and their position in general social estima- tion appears to have been just above that of Pallas, Pariahs, and Chucklies (Chakkiliyans), who are on all hands regarded as unclean, and prohibited from the use of the Hindu temples, and below that of Vellalas, Mara- vans, and other classes admittedly free to worship in the Hindu temples. In process of time, many of the Shaniirs took to cultivating, trade, and money-lending, and to-day there is a numerous and prosperous body of Shanars, who have no immediate concern with the immemorial calling of their caste. In many villages they own much of the land, and monopolise the bulk of the trade and wealth. With the increase of wealth they have, not unnaturally, sought for social recognition, and to be treated on a footing of equality in religious matters. The conclusion of the Sub-Judge is that, according to the Aofama Shastras which are received as authoritative by worshippers of Siva in the Madura district, entry into a temple, where the ritual prescribed by these Shastras is observed, is prohibited to all those whose profession is the manufacture of intoxicating liquor, and the climb- ing of palmyra and cocoanut trees. No argument was addressed to us to show that this finding is incorrect, and we see no reason to think that it is so . . . . No doubt many of the Shanars have abandoned their heredi- tary occupation, and have won for themselves by educa- tion, industry and frugality, respectable positions as traders and merchants, and even as vakils (law pleaders) and clerks ; and it is natural to feel sympathy for their efforts to obtain social recognition, and to rise to what is regarded as a higher form of religious worship ; but such sympathy will not be increased by unreasonable and unfounded pretensions, and, in the effort to rise, the Shanars must not invade the established rights of other castes. They have temples of their own, and are numer- ous enough, and strong enough in wealth and education, to rise along their own lines, and without appropriatingthe institutions or infringing the rights of others, and in so doing they will have the sympathy of all right-minded men, and, if necessary, the protection of the Courts.

recent origin, and little can be inferred from them, whatever their meaning may be shown to be. Brahmans, for example, appear to have borne the titles of Pillai and Mudali, which are now only used by Sudras, and the Nayak kings, on the other hand, called themselves Aiyar, which is now exclusively the title of Saivite Brahmans. To this day the cultivating Vellalas, the weaving Kaikolars, and the semi-civilised hill tribe of the Jatapus use equally the title of Mudali, and the Balijas and Telagas call them- selves Rao, which is properly the title of Mahratta Brahmans. Regarding the derivation of the words Shanan, Nadan and Gramani, much ingenuity has been exercised. Shanan is not found in the earlier Tamil literature at all. In the inscriptions of Rajaraja Chola (A.D. 984-1013) toddy-drawers are referred to as Iluvans. According to Pingalandai, a dictionary of the loth or nth century, the names of the toddy-drawer castes are Palaiyar, Tuvasar, and Paduvar. To these the Chuda- mani Nikandu, a Tamil dictionary of the i6th century, adds Saundigar. Apparently, therefore, the Sanskrit word Saundigar must have been introduced (probably by the Brahmans) between the nth and i6th centuries, and is a Sanskrit rendering of the word Iluvan. From Saundigar to Shanan is not a long step in the corruption of words. The Shanans say that Shanan is derived from the Tamil word Sanrar or Sanror, which means the learned or the noble. But it does not appear that the Shanans were ever called Sanrar or Sanror in any of the Tamil works. The two words Nadan and Gramani mean the same thing, namely, ruler of a country or of a village, the former being a Tamil, and the latter a Sanskrit word. Nadan, on the other hand, means a man who lives in the country, as opposed to Uran, the man who resides in a village. The title of the caste is Niidan, and it seems most probable that it refers to the feet that the Iluvan ancestors of the caste lived outside the villages. (South Indian Inscriptions, vol. II, part I.) But. even if Nadan and Gramani both mean rulers, it does not give those who bear these titles any claim to be Kshatriyas. If it did, all the descendants of the many South Indian Poligars, or petty chiefs, would be Kshatriyas.

today's virudhunagar district into one caste.i.e,make all the subsects exogamaous.these nadars were also known famously known as 'northern nadars' o 'nadars of six towns'or 'nadar merchants'.this was the first ever known attempt by the nadars to become one caste.this process is known as caste fusion(the same happened to thevars n vanniars or vanniyakulakshtriyas).however this caste fusion didnt happen to the nadars of southeastern tirunelveli(tiruchenhur nadars).the tiruchendhur nadars remained according to their traditions n as a matter of fact were not as successful(excluding ofcourse nelamaikkarar,nattathi n mukkandhar) as the northern nadars(virudhunagar nadars)untilt the independence. the northern nadars n tiruchendhur nadar still to this day remain as 2endogamanous groups.the virudhunagar nadars claim dat they r superior n the nelamaikkarar nadars claim dat they r the true aristocrats.for instance,iam a tiruchendhur nelamaikarrar.iam not supposed to mary a northern nadar girl.even if i do marry(love marriage)i ll be considered derogatory and as a puluka nadar(cow-dung nadar).it ll be difficult for a northern nadar to identify a specific nadar's clan.but not for a tiruchendhur nadar.we all know dat sarathkumar is a nadar.but as a traditional tiruchendhur nadar i know dat he is puluka nadar(coz his father is northern nadar and his mother nelamakkarar nadar).which means i cant marry varalaxmi sarathkumar! :(. i hope u can understand these concepts.u wud hav to read the whole hardgrave's book to understand dis concept.dats y i made it simple for u.please dont be hesitant to ask for help.i ll help u.thanks for ur fine contributions!!

2977:

of the tranvancore region and regions where they formed a minority population were discriminated.the nadar traders were protected by their uravinmurais.nadars today are a fusion of so many subsects.for instance the gramanis,a caste of toddy tappers of northern tamil nadu, are completely irrelevant to the nadars.however they are today a part of the nadar community.there r even subsects even i dont know of.the subsect culture still however exists in regions around south of tamirabharini accordin to the tuticorin gazetteer.untouchablility in tamil nad was different frm kerala.in tamil nad,communities like parayas n pallas were considered as untouchables.wheras in kerala it was an entirely different concept,as u already know.as far as i know hardgrave's book is the only book which can answer these questions precisely.so if u r goin to include the term untouchable in the article it may be appropriate to describe some subsects.however it wont be appropriate to describe subsects like the nadans.watever i am sayin is already in the hardgravebook.so dats abt it.my problem is dat i get sick very often n at the same time i hav a lotta work in my real life.i can check on this article once everyday.i hope my contributions were useful.thank u.

1737:

get the bigger picture.caste discrimination happened to a very few nadars n dats y they were able to succeed.in virudhunagar they had vellalar accountants to work for them and also had other privileges(same in tiruchendur).the nadars were jus not allowed to enter temples coz of their association wid toddy.including this in the first para makes it look weird.watever i am tellin u is in the book hardgrave. their confrontation wid nairs looks even stranger.this confrontation happened between the very few nadars who migrated to kerala n nairs of kerala.the present status is also very important.the community which was not allowed to enter hindu temples is the very community now which administers many important hindu temples of tn.u can also writ abt nadar mahajana sagham.etc shiv nadar the richest south indian.no offence.everythin is upside down now.i dont know if u can write a lot abt their present status coz there r very few articles relevant to their present status on net.we ll do it slowly gather info n den we ll post d big topics like sivakasi riot upper cloth etc.the maravars wer jus abov the nadars(this made them their greatest rivals).other than that the article looks pretty fine.thank u..

2037:

claimed dat it was for the sake of NPOV). Cartick shouldnt even be compared with geek! He is tryin to be constructive n this geek is trying to make the article as derogatory possible. Cartick understands,thinks and most importantly HE LISTENS.He is definetely not I KNOW EVERYTHING KINDA GUY(unlike many users,unlike geek)! When cartick reduced the pandian lineage section,i was a lil mad(this pandian lineage thing was my fav bedtime story n the core belief of any nadar).But cartick explained explicitly(decently) y it shouldnt b there.Geek doesnt listen,doesnt discuss and always trying to jump to the conclusion which is ofcourse something derogatory o idiotic. Knowledge admins.Dont think.Cartick is in and geek leaves. the nadars were a success ful group even b4 the independence. Period. Even a baby knows this! Get this lunatic geek outta here.We have a lot of guts, but we dont have time for small fries such as urself(bein the most powerful community in tamilnad n all).If you have a problem why dont u stop hiding behind ur stupid username and come at us directly.I ll even arrange wid sivanthi adithan if u want,i am a man of my word.

929:(UTC) Fine gentlemen. Knowledge is indeed run by a mob. I never included any conclusion regarding the identity of the pandyans. And I was abt to edit other articles also. Caste what? So you think I am a nadar. Isnt it? IF you have (which you dont ofcourse)the guts to meet me in person I ll prove you that I am not a Nadar. I was fed up with the users of wiki and was about to quit. Right? Knowledge is no place caste promotion... And neither the place for imbeciles who think their God here. I ll return with concrete solid proofs just to insult idiots such as yourself. Out of the two editors geek and cartick. Geek is surely a racist. If there are honest editors in wiki, just contemplate the way he reverted all my edits to practice caste discrimination here. Next time you call me a nadar, make sure you meet me in person. So you two are confirming that the nadars have no history because one book written by edgar,eh.Fine. I ll see what I can do. So Gods farewell. Caste mobility,eh. The next proof I bring in... You wont sound so cocky. So the government article is not NPOV,eh. Lets see. 1660:

government. :)nyways i hav no proofs to backup my claims n so do u.i ll c wat i can do.let the dispute tag remain den.if u r gonna include articles like upper cloth i recommend u should also topics like present status of the nadars today,their success in politics,their position in d hindu society today,etc etc; which is very unlikely to happen for d time being coz out of the many references attached to dis article very few of them speaks of their present status. widout these d article wud luk simply derogatory.no offence.dis is an encyclopedia not newspaper.d article shud be explicit n clear.i ll c if i can get appropriate references.i asked u small favour yesterday.k ill make it more clear.if u can tell us wat is pov n wat is not more clearly we ll get wat ever refs u want.der r many notpov refes abt the nadars.i agree wid u dat this ll take time n thinkin.the nadar community history is strange.we ll help u if u want

Nadars in Thirunelveli, Thoothukudi and Kanyakumari. Their dominance in these respective tier districts prove this point. other castes are sprayed in between. When Nadans were no longer in power, Maravars and Servais become feudal chiefs. They even joined the Pandian enemy, VijayaNagara chiefs to establish themselves as kings of their locale. Sethupathi's legacy is a proof of this. Cholas too bore the title thevar and that doesnot mean they are from Maravar, Kallar or Servai castes. Thevar aka deva is the title give to those who protected hinduism and its temples during Muslim/British invations. Maruthu's legacy is a fact to this point. - Sasisekar, before you took pain to redefine the meaning of maravarman, you should study the relationship and affliation between Nadars and Thevar communities in terms of the same village, guard, amman deities and why they fall apart.

1025:

travancore and regions north of tirunelveli, where there were few nadars. The traditional aristocrats of the caste known as Nadan,were very dominant in the Tiruchendhur region and also had authority over other castes such as Vellalar etc. So the line you introduced into the first para cant be applied to the whole community. There is also another misunderstanding. The nadar women of travancore were not allowed to wear their upper cloth(a small section excluding the nadans of travancore). This is practice is however not at all familiar to the nadars of tamil nadu. Whatever I said is in the hardgrave book below. I can post the rest of the article of the Thoothukudi district gazetteer and from other books,but these are copyrighted materials. What should I do? Could you find these books yourself? Or should I get them for you somehow? Thanks

1811:} these nadars were known as pannayeri nadars(o nadars who climb trees).they constitute the major population of today's nadar community.they were also in southeastern tirunelveli(tiruchendur) but unlike their counterparts they were not discriminated.the majority of todays nadar population come frm southeastern tirulnelveli.this subsect is known as pannayeri nadar.unlike the billavas and ezhavas(who were entirely a community of toddytappers/climbers)there were nadars who were never toddy-tappers.they r nelamaikkarars,mel nattar,nattathi n mukkandhar.these nadars were wealthy land lords n moneylenders.some of these nadars were even zamindars.all these subcastes i mentioned come under the category southeastern nadars(tiruchendhur nadars).r u wid me still. 2067:

articles bcuz der r many jobless editors to play d ‘majority rules’ concept to support non sense like southindian kshatriyas y is the term v wer discriminated all ov’r d nadar aricle even a brahmin wil b discriminated if he is in a area fraught wid d dalits y take dis article for instance’ the minority brahmins showed deference to d nadan landlords wat does dat means it means majority rules ,d nadars of sivakasi had vellalar acountants n maravars to lift their palanquins. bcuz v wer majority in sivakasi.how convenient! The nair editors use d loop holes of wiki to practice racism but v wont just sit here n watch our page be discriminated just bcuz we wer very successful dis is not a toy for nairs to play wid

487: 815:, the court judgment went in favor of the Nadars. Does that mean the Nadars are the descendants of ancient pandyan kings. Pay close attention to the article I have written. I never confirmed that the pandya king was in fact a nadar. And I still have a lot write. The dispute tag was used unnecessarily. You never went through the links I posted. And you dont have any intention to improve this page. These links I am going to post is for the knowledge of other wiki editors besides Linguisticgeek. 3230:- Daughrity. This is not completely useless. Yes, it takes a lot from Caldwell but it does so in the manner of a critique. Daughrity appears to be a respected historian of religion and its relationship to society, and Christian missions in particular. Page 80 pretty much says what our article shows now, but unfortunately there are some pages unavailable to me. I'll see what I can do about that - sometimes using GBooks with a proxy gets alternate results. I will also check on the publisher. 2658:

traditions.there r also many christian missionary books written by caldwell etc to prove dis pt .but i did'nt wanna include them as they are not very anthropological n they don't go very deep into this topic.even the books below r not as good as hardgrave.the caste system in kerala was entirely different.a nair cant touch a nambudri in kerala.i can very well understand dat user:sharma is not new to this page o wiki.i wonder y he is pretendin to be a newbie.please 'sign' ur posts.

1617:

think dat line u included shoul be added to the nadars of 19 th century category.And this line should be added to the first para'The Nadars were traditionally cultivators of palmyra trees, including the production of toddy and were therefore considered lower than other middle castes, but relatively higher than the low castes in the 19th Century.'i think the first para should b concerned with the majority of the nadars.we really appreciate ur help cartick.thanks again..

3223:? - Hardgrave. Classic study by a political scientist/anthropologist (similar job description to Jaffrelot).Seeing them as being in a social limbo between untouchable and shudra, he studies "the relationship between political sentiment and behaviour, on the one hand, and the structure of society, on the other". I need to read this one right through because it is a seminal work. I have some questions in my head already, but hopefully the book will resolve them. 3152:- Jayakumar. I'd rather not rely on it, but we can keep it in reserve. I get a little worried about books produced by or for religious groups because they usually have a message that they want to put across and they are often blinkered in their research. This one may be different but I note that the source is Hardgrave, so we should be able to avoid using this. I've never heard of the publisher, OCMS, before - but that might say more about me than them! 31: 812:

NPOV. And his claims are more than 100 years old. You are definetely not here to help. You are saying that I am vandalizing this page! I am tryin to include the point of the view of the nadars and the point of view other anthropologists to make it NPOV. And then you suddenly come in and claim that the entire article is false. I am not even through writtin the article. Court judgment? What are you talking about?? According to this link here

1702:. This policy says that when you discuss multiple viewpoints about a subject, you should give appropriate weightage in proportion to the prevalence of the viewpoint in reliable sources. For example, let us say, 70% of the available sources say X is the case and 30 % of the sources say Y is the case and 10% of the sources say Z is the case. Now, it would be wrong if 70% of the text discusses about case Z and and only 10% about case X. 1339:(refer pg22 and 90-100),it is evident that this kind of oppression happened to a minor section of nadars of northern tirunelveli and travancore(someone already said that).The nadars would not have made it this far if the majority of nadars were as low as the dalits.I would be obliged if the sentence would be corrected and made more appropriate. I kindly ask the expert wikipedia user to look into this. Thank you 2526:

fair amount of work in this subject area & have come across the Nadars before in that context. I'll continue to fiddle with the wording etc, which rather let the thing down, but if there are any issues of dispute then I would hope that we can resolve them on this talk page without engaging in edit wars etc. As long as people provide decent sourcing for any points of contention, things should be ok. -

887:." Who decides what is pretension and who has the right to go where? a judge? a judge and superintendent's opinion by no means has any authority other than it is just their opinion. Edgar Thurston's book is reliable only to the opinion of the two men. In general, I would recommend we keep any information about Pandyan lineage out of any caste article until some solid real evidence comes up. -- 2332: 2250: 3160:(methodologically poor) 1901 census was affected by such self-assertions of caste etc, but so too were the 1891 and 1881 censuses. Given that the other sources seem to date any change to a time before 1901, and couple that eminently verifiable point with this being an Atlantic publication, I am not particularly encouraged. Who is/was Jayapalan, in terms of academic qualifications etc? 426: 849:

very familiar with the rules of wiki. Yeah right. Edgar's book is 100 years old and maybe it seems pov to you(as you are obviously someone against this article or lindamd90, I dont know). Oh so you are almighty and you know everything,duh! Run away from what truth?! You are really losing it, please refrain from editing this page. Thank you.

547: 830:

his.since dispute tag is being vandalized thurston views deserves a place in the main article to make it npov.btwn caste pov is not a problem with just nadar article it seems to be with every tamil caste article.even pallar and paravas claim to be pandya.maybe because people want to run away from the truth and their not so glorious past.

excluded a lot of contents which we derived from the gazetteer of tamilnadu.We would kindly ask wikipedia to remove the fully protection tag and let reasonable users like cartick to continue editing this page or provide us with another option which will allow us to complete this page and make it more reasonable.Thank you.

2818: 2721:

Look, let me read up on the subject. I am pretty experienced at this sort of thing. By the way, I do not appreciate your insinuation about Sharma007007 above.

the user above is right.i suppose u know the reason behind the sivakasi riots.the nadars were the first to strike.the nadars burnt the few maravar houses in sivakasi n chased them away.the result was the sivakasi riots.the maravars were jus above the nadars n the nadars were rivalin their position in

In summary, information from books and articles written by pro- and anti-Nadar writers will have very little value if any. It will be easy to include the same information if you can find them in books written by scholars who are known to be reliable and have no personal stake in hyping or downplaying

1639:

Government Gazetteer can be reliable for some information but not necessarily for all. here is why. a government which represents all people (including Nadars) have a responsibility to please all its subjects. therefore, it doesnt necessarily care about truth in matters and issues which are sensitive

I am sure Yadav article attracts its fair share of pro- and anti-Yadav POVs. a of summary Sivakasi riots and UCR can be added. It is not just including it some place and somehow.

social status is discussed in Nadars of the 19th century. you can include the references from the IP and elaborate on that.

The whole story of the claims and pretensions of the Shanans is set out at length in the judgment in the Kamudi temple case (1898) which was heard on appeal before the High Court of Madras.

unlike you, i notice two POV here. one, of course, the pro-caste warriors and the other being an opposite group ticked off by the progress Nadars have made in independent India and may be the NY times coverage most recently. I agree Pandyan claims are most likely unscholarly. It can be said so. As

What you mean your page?? This is an wikipedia article! Criminal tribe.. Ya right. Yes the kallars are not relevant to the nadars. I am just trying to tell you that Edgar was never ever considering the point of view of the indians or the specific caste. Which makes the claims of Edgar quite not so

Hi,nadars never referred to as Kshatriya which is a fact.infact even the term nadar is of recent origin.The community was originally called Shanaar and and a certain subcaste among them who owned little bit of land were called nadan if i am not wrong and one thing is confusing how many caste will
