This
is an attempt to revive the origin of the
Mudaliar caste with a
glorious, yet forgotten past. A careful study
of facts have been done with care to extract only the most
consistent information even if from the most unreliable sources by duly
comparing with several other independent sources which
includes Encyclopaedia Britannica.
This highest-ranked caste is unarguably the most forward caste both
economically and
socially in Tamil Nadu. The society of Tamil Nadu, in ancient
times,
was dominated almost entirely by the Mudaliars, supported
by their dependents and allies, the Brahmins. The mudaliars were mainly
defending warriors/kings, the others were close to the rulers as they
owned and
controlled all the land in all the
areas and used the people of lower castes, mainly the Paraiyar, to
cultivate it.
While Brahmins only practise untouchability by just staying away from untouchables to maintain their own purity, Mudaliars outside Chennai not only practise untouchability to maintain purity but also discriminate untouchables by the two-tumbler system, prevention of temple entry, etc. For instance, it was the Mudaliars with the help of the Naickers who made the Pallar (Malla) into untouchables when the Tamil Cholas (belonging to the Malla caste) fell to the Vijayanagar Empire and all their land was stripped and distributed to those castes who were favourable to the Mudaliars, like the Telugu Brahmins and Naickers. They had the power to even decide who was untouchable and who was not.
Still, people claim that Brahmins are the highest caste since it is mentioned so in the Vedas as they performed rituals to god and had the knowledge of the Vedas but it is blatant that this is merely philosophical and is far from reality. People who performed rituals to god were no better-off than the priests of temples today who struggled to make both ends meet. The truth is that they did not have any social control, political influence or economical power to be prosperous and attain a high status to be fit to be called a high caste. This is the reason why many Brahmins feel inferior in front of the great Mudaliar community as they are in no way close to them. The high-caste status assigned to them was merely for reverence to those who performed rituals to gods.
I have found enough evidence to state that Mudaliars are descendants of one of the tribes that invaded India shortly after the commencement of the Christian era and the fact that ancient records mention almost all the foreign invaders of Tamil Nadu to belong to this community, further supports this fact. Genetic evidence too supports this very fact by the presence of the J2b2 and Q4 haplogroups in the Vellalas, the haplogroups also present in the middle-easterners who were called Abhiras in India.
I have attempted to uncover in
this website, all historic
proof of
their foreign origin and their connections with other similar dominant
communities spread all over India. All the information provided in this
website is verifiable with any reliable source of history and none of
the facts has been invented.
It is needless
to say that any other theory of their origin is false and also any
facts contradicting those presented in this site in any other source,
even in the references given in this website itself are entirely false
and not based on history.
