Indian and Sri Lankan myths of origin mirror each other. Those of the
Nalavar in the north and the Durava in the south of the island connect them with Madurai princesses who would have brought them to the island when marrying Sri Lankan kings. Those of the Izhava in southern Kerala, of the Tiyan/Tevan in northern Kerala and of the Shanar/Nadar in southern Tamilnadu connect them with Sri Lanka in a similar way, adding that these migrants were disappointed with the treatment they received on the island and returned to India, bringing with them the first coconut trees. The very names of Izhava and of Tiyan are supposed to be derived respectively from Ilam, that is Ceylon, and from tivu, island. The same corpus of legends includes episodes relating to five artisan castes who deserted the land of the Chera king Cheraman Perumal to seek asylum in Sri Lanka, and were forcibly brought back. Among Sri Lankan craftsmen, many families of blacksmiths used to claim a South Indian origin dating from the fifteenth century. So did washermen and other service groups. Most of them have more recently dropped these claims in favour of a nondescript Sinhala origin 'from time immemorial'.

source which records the nadar history until 1969. All the books I know of just uses his book as reference. Even
Templeman acknowledges this by saying that his book covers everything correctly. So you are only good at throwing random claims. If Hardgrave supports your claims, tell me the exact page numbers. I ll post it here right away. G.K.Ghosh was as far as I remember used Caldwell as reference. We can post the contents of G.k.Ghosh. However it will seem very brief and in explicit when compared to the works of other anthropologists. I still have not seen the contents of the book you mentioned. So until Sitush quotes the contents of the book, please be calm. The origin of the nadar community is completely unknown. There are no literary evidences or inscriptions that speak about their origin. We just have a handful of hypotheses. We don't even know if they are true for sure. We cant include sentences based on

were once forced to bare their breasts before upper caste men as a reminder of their low station.the article. These lines are from a NY time article. The article was based on the interview of a nadar businessman. So it’s definitely not a thorough anthropological work. You should first understand that the nadar community was not a single caste in the 19th century. The community had many subsects and each subsect was treated differently from the other. For instance, the nadans were respected by upper castes, whereas the nadar climbers were not. We had all these discussions a long time ago. So this is most probably the fourth time I have to explain all this. The way you write and do things(posting irrelevant links) reminds me of an editor I had trouble with. So if you are just here to irritate me, get a life. Your argument is not really constructive. Sorry to be blunt.

reference. Caldwell tried to link the
Shanars with the Shandrar community of Srilanka. However this theory(according to pg no:21 hardgrave) was debunked by Hardgrave. Hardgrave clearly states that their origin must have been the Teri forests of tiruchendhur due to their culture and predominance in the region.He also cites many other reasons to support his theory. His theory is also supported by other anthropologists like Templeman. Even if you do include Caldwell's theory into the article, it would look insignificant in front of the work of other anthropologists. That's why I didn't include it in the article in the first place. If you can provide us with other reliable sources to support your theory,which is highly unlikely, we will surely include it. However some Nadars did migrate to Ceylon. That is a fact.

arts of the world: en encyclopedia. A – Q, Volume 1. page no. 177). Either rabtman didnt go through these refs at all or is just trying to push his POV statements. The Nadars didnt entirely rely on the backward class commission for educational advancement(refer:The Nadars of TamilNad by Robert.L.Hardgrave pgno:145). So the line included by rabtmat (that the Nadars relied on backward class commision) is baseless. We dont know for sure if the Nadars used their backward class quota for advancement. If he wanted to add sentences, then he should include refs which actually support his theories. He also removed most of the lines(which had refs) from the intro section just like that. I dont understand what he is trying to accomplish here.
2680:"Regarding this: So the line included by rabtmat (that the Nadars relied on backward class commision) is baseless. We dont know for sure if the Nadars used their backward class quota for advancement." Thats what the caste-based reservation system is for, and that is what OBC classification does, its not a theory. I did not remove the referenced sections from the intro lines, I had simply moved them into the article where it would be more prominent (in other words, I had restructured, I didnt remove anything). The lines that were removed did not have explicitly found refs, anyone could just give a book without a page number and say it says so. Please actually read the edit summaries before you make such accusations.

If you feel that this not right, please provide reliable refs to support your theories. Also explain why. The section you are talking about is supported by reference no35(Hardgrave) of this article. In other words you cant remove a sentence which has a proper ref. So if you are looking forward to remove the line, its not gonna happen no matter what. Lot of false statements? Like? I know of a sock-warrior, who tried to add irrelevant sentences by using false refs. You sound just like him. Any admin is welcome to check the references of this article. I have no objection.
751:. The guy is alive and we expect self-identification of ethnicity in these situations. While the source indicates that he is working with a Nadar advocacy group, it also quotes him as saying that he "clarified that he did not join the alliance on behalf of Nadar organisations". That is not self-identification. There are all sorts of people involved in all sorts of advocacy groups even though they are not themselves affected, for example, by the group's raison d'etre. As an example, various members of the UK royal family are involved in numerous groups - often but not always as a figurehead - despite not suffering from, say, cerebral palsy or being a member of the Jewish community. -

I have reverted countless POV edits fyi. If I wanted to expand this article, I would have done it a long time ago. Writers are only interested in the nadar's past. I am actually looking for an admin, to finish the job. But I am quite sure that it is difficult to expand the article due to the lack of refs. I didn't properly go through the line about backward class quota yesterday. This line was already in the article. I will include the line about
Backward class quota to the Nadars today section as soon as possible.

googlebooks.There are not many books that state these castes were untouchables. There are no sources that support my theory. Many books use these
Christian missionary books as source maybe.Many nadars also converted to Christianity. So why are there no books that say that vishwakarmas or sengunthars were untouchables. You can go through the warrior merchants book a topic regarding the sengunthars similar caste like nadars and their social status.It may give you some insight on what's going on here. And the untouchables of tamilnadu didn't excel in any field until very recently. That's because they faced a lot of resistance in the past. Hope this gives you some insight.

Because I don't find many books which state that the vishwakarmas were untouchables a similar caste like the nadars who didn't embrace Christianity.Just a suggestion. All this seems weird.Got these infos using Google books

It is based on the interview of a nadar businessman. The current article however explains everything about the various subsects of the community in the 19th century and it is far more thorough that ny article. So you are just here to make the article worse.
