Who are Nadras?
Nadars are one of the dominant communities seen in the southern parts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. They are known by different names such as Shatrar, Shantore, Nadazhvar and Shannar in different places. But the title of the caste ‘Nadar’ was used only after 1924 by an order of the Madras Government. The word ‘Nadar’ or ‘Nadan’ simply means ‘ruler of a country’ or ‘lord of the land’. In the very ancient time, they ruled the country and known as ‘a ruling race’.
History of Nadars
-In the ancient time, Nadars were landlords; but later, after their migration to Travancore, they were pushed into the dungeon of slavery and considered as polluted class.
