About Us n the earlier days in the Nagarathar community there were well informed elders in our native place who suggested suitable match for the boy or girl. All the marriage or religious functions are attended to by the eligible grooms and brides within whom suitable alliances were matched. Now a days the, as the community is spread allover the globe, on their employment or occupation, the boy and girls are not able to find time/ interested to go to their native to attend the functions. Hence a place was required to make a link for those who seek alliance for their sons and daughters. A thoughtful Nagarathar Mr. M. Chidambaram Chettiar (Ex Indian Bank Officer) of Devakottai, felt the need of the hour and started the Nagarathar Thirumana Sevai Maiyam at Besant Nagar, Chennai in his own house. He was the forerunner in establishing such a service. After running the service for more than a decade he has decided to hand over the responsibility of continuing the service to a service minded person with a similar aspiration in the year 2001. He has rightly chosen Mr. SM. Lakshmanen of Devakottai who was also a retired Officer of Indian Bank, to succeed him in running the service from Jan.

  • Chapter Iii 67
    CHAPTER I I I THE TEMPLES AND THE SOCIAL ORGANISATION OF THE CHETTIARS ' In the last chapter we sav that the Ilayathankudi Nagarathar emerged as a distinct endogamous Saiva Vaisya sub-caste, consisting of the patrilineal groups, each group attached to a temple located in the vicinity of Illayathankudi, somewhere around the eighth century A.D. In this chapter we shall see that contrary to the vehe­ ment propa^nda about the regressive effects of Hindu religion and social organization on the rational pursuit of profit, with the Chettiars, their very'*^religious affiliation and their form of social organization seem to have been shaped by their economic interests. It is significant that the social organization of this sub­ caste crystallized at a period v^hen the Tamil Country was rocked by a massive wave of Hindu revivalism that had arisen to counter the rising tide of the heterodox faiths of Buddhism’and Jainism. Buddhists and Jains had flou­ rished amicably along with Hindu Sects even during the Sangam age. But when Buddhism got catapulted into ascendency, under the ’Kalabhras’ , ”a rather mysterious and ubiquitous enemy of civilization”, who swept over ’ the Tamil Country and ruled it for over the two hundred years following the close of the Sangam age in thz4e hurylred A . D . , a hectic fury of re lig io u s hatred and r iv alry 67 6^ was unleashed.^ The active propagation of Buddhism by the ruling Kalabhras, who are denounced in the Velvikudi grants of the Pandyas (nineth century) as evil kings (kali- arasar) who uprooted many adhirajas, and confiscated the pro- 2 perties gifted to Gods (temples) and Brahmins, provoked the adherents of Siva and Vishnu to make organized attempts to stall the rising tide of heresy.

ABSTRACT: Karaikudi is a municipal town located in Sivaganga district of the state of Tamil Nadu. The place is the most famous in the entire municipality because it is also the largest town in the district. It is part of the Chettinad region that includes a total of 75 villages. The town is on the highway that connects Trichy and Rameshwaram. It is a well-known town in this southern state of India mainly because of the style of houses that is unique to the place. The houses in this town are constructed using the limestone that is called "karai veedu" in local language. Some people also believe that the town got its name from the plant of karai, which is found in abundance in the place. Karaikudi was earlier counted in the Ramanathapuram district and achieved the status of a municipality in 1928. Chettiars And Karaikudi It is a well-known fact that the family of Chettiars was instrumental in developing the town of Karaikudi. They have helped shape the town and brought it into prominence by building educational institutes, funding banks, constructing temples and celebrating festivals in the traditional ways. They have also taken upon them the onus of bringing social reforms. To make Karaikudi self-sufficient in every way, Vallal Alagappar, who belonged to the Chettiar family, established the Alagappa University in the place and this university has a good nationwide ranking.

He was certainly not an ascetic, but had a profound interest in spiritual matters. He was deeply read in Saiva Siddhanta philosophy. Not a day of his life passed without his chanting Tiruvacakam and the other Tirumurais. .DODLWKDQWKDL¶VHDUO\HGXFDWLRQZDVLQWKHWUDGLWLRQDOYLOODJHVFKRRODW$7KHNNXU After three years there, he was taken to Madurai, where the family had a house.

A friendship developed between the two schoolmates, which lasted throughout their life. Kalaithanthai presided over the eightieth birthday celebrations of Sir P.T. Rajan. Sir P.T.

  • I. Profile of Pudukkottai District
    I. PROFILE OF PUDUKKOTTAI DISTRICT 1. INTRODUCTION Pudukkottai has a familiar Historical background and it was formerly a Princely State with the title of “SAMASTHANAM” ruled by the “H.H.The Rajah’s of THONDAIMANS”. The present Pudukkottai district is encompassing the entire Princely State of Pudukkottai and parts of Tiruchirappalli and Thanjavur districts. Pudukkottai district came into existence on 14.1.1974. The erstwhile “Pudukkottai State” has been justly famous for its efficient and stable administration through the years with its seasoned administrative system, operating with well understood concepts of hierarchy line of command and discreet adherences to principles and procedures. Really this credit goes to the initial author and as well as the founder of the system of “District Office Manual”, by “Sir Alexander Loftus Tottenham”, the Agent of the British Emperor/ Administrator of erstwhile “Pudukkottai State” for his aim of trim and efficient administration. Pudukkotai District is bounded on the North East and East by Thanjavur District, on the South East by Bay of Bengal, on the South West by Ramanathapuram and Sivaganga districts and on the West and North East by Thiruchirapalli District. 1 2. DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN The main objective of Disaster Management Plan is to assess the vulnerability of district to various major hazards so that mitigate steps can be taken to contain the damages before and during disaster and to provide relief and take reconstruction measures at the shortest possible time effectively. The District Disaster Management Plan is also a purposeful document that assigns responsibility to the officials of Government Departments, Social Organisations and Individuals for carrying out specific and effective actions at projected times and places in an emergency manner that exceeds the capability or routine responsibility of an one agency, e.g 2 the departments of Revenue, Police, Fire Services, Fisheries, Highways, PWD, South Vellar Division and Health etc.

  • CHAPTER VI CHETTIARS TODAY the Rise of the Nationalist Movement in the British Colonies in South and South-East Asia in the Earl
    CHAPTER VI CHETTIARS TODAY The rise of the nationalist movement in the British Colonies in South and South-East Asia in the early decades of this century, while it affected adversely the Chet- tiars' overseas business, the same movement in India made for the creation of favourable conditions for Chettiar enterprise in India. We saw in the last Chapter, how the Chettiars, even despite the European domination of industry, trade and finance in India, and the restrictions against the inflow of their capital from overseas to India, had ventured into Indian Industry even in the pre~1930 period. However, their participation in Indian industry in the p o st-1930 prior could not be as extensive because of the serious indents made in their liquid capital by the crisis in their overseas business. The continuous trans- r fer^ence of their liquid capital into immovable property in the form of rice lands, rubber and tea gardens in the overseas countries, and the loss of the moneylending business in Burma proved a serious handicap for the commu­ nity to venture into modern industry in the same way as ' they did in their overseas business. This drastic change in the nature of their wealth impaired the sodality of the community. The rift between the rich proprietor families and the families that supplied 191 192 the agents and other personnel for their Agency System became very pronounced. The number of relatively poor Chettiars now is so great, we are told, that there is a move to get the community recognised as a backward commu- 13* nity by the Government.

And here the Pandya king granted to their care the village temple. Over the near decade or so, groups of Chettiars moved on from here to settle in other villages not far from their first settlement and, in time, eight other clusters of villages with Chettiar settlement had been established. To each of them the Pandya king granted a temple in perpetuity. The nine temples, thus, became the ‘family’ temples of the clusters and each cluster evolved as a subdivision of the Chettiars of what might be described as a fraternal clan. These fraternal members and their families are called pangalis. Once, when everyone knew each other, the pangalis bond was one of the strongest factors in keeping the Community cohesive. Over the years, pangalis have spread further and further and today, few know any but the pangalis in villages immediately neighboring theirs and more often only those pangalis with whom they share a common ancestor.
