Dear Mr.Kavalar, I have written so much on ancient period. You came to know that the singers were called maarars after i wrote the same. They assisted during yaagams and sribalis. The caste of iyengars is a derivative of word "ayyangaru" in telugu. It became popular during vijayanagar period. vaishnava brahmins of south were called nambis in previous period. By the time of vijayanagar they had become a very small minority. Nowadays they are not even 0.1% of the brahmins.Be advised that there was no regionalism and chauvinism before vijayanagar period in TN.The caste names you have quoted are hypothetical and does not have continuous history.should a partisan oulook and duplicity and oppurtunism spiral into voilence be assured that a nuclear attack and mass genocide is imminent.
