Writing concerning this caste the Census Superintendent, 1871* records that "a book has been written by a native to show that the Pallis (Pullies or Vanniar) of the south are descendants of the fire races (Agnikulas) of the Kshatriyas, and that the Tamil Pullies were at one time the shepherd kings of Egypt." At the time of the census, 1871, a petition was submitted to Government by representatives of the caste, praying that they might be classified as Kshatriyas, and twenty years later, in con- nection with the census, 1891, a book entitled ' Vannikula ' Vilakkam : a treatise on the Vanniya caste, was compiled by Mr. T. Aiyakannu Nayakar, in support of the caste claim to be returned as Kshatriyas, for details concerning which claim I must refer the reader to the book itself. In 1907, a book entitled Varuna Darpanam (Mirror of Castes) was published, in which an attempt is made to connect the caste with the Pallavas. Kulasekhara, one of the early Travancore kings, and one of the most renowned Alwars reverenced by the Sri Vaishnava community in Southern India, is claimed by the Pallis as a king of their caste.

  • Answers to Interrogatories by M
    Answers to Interrogatories BY M. R. RY. T. V. ANANTAN NAYAR AVARGAL, B.A. B.L., District Munsiff, 1. Yes. 2. No. 3. The rule is that a man belonging to one division cannot marry a woman belonging to a higher division. A woman of one division can be married by a man of a higher division. A man of the Kiriyam (<alfol3&o^ division can marry a woman of the Charna (ojonfo) division, but not vice versa. The ' Kiriyam' division is superior to the ' Charna' division in point of caste, and according to the rule aforesaid, marriage between a ' Kiriyam' female and a ' Charna' Nayar is not permitted. Matrimonial connexion is not allowed between Sudra (<^8) and Charna (ojarrV)) Nayars. Each of the two divisions thinks that it is superior in caste to the other, though theoretically there is not much distinction between the two. 4. Yes, they incur social penalty. In North Malabar the penalty is rigor­ ously exacted. The offending man or woman is excluded from caste-association and is denied all caste-privileges. Their Tarawad too is socially boycotted, and their Enangans (o^aDsroak) and fellow-caste-men refuse to associate with them on occasions of auspicious and inauspicious ceremonies. Where the delinquency is grave, the parties concerned are interdicted from tank and temple by order of the local Raja who is supposed to be the censor of public morals. 5. Prayaschitham (Expiatory ceremony) cannot validate a marriage contracted in violation of recognised custom; but it may remove the taint brought upon a Tarawad by such a marriage.

CASTES AND TRIBES OF SOUTHERN INDIA By EDGAR THURSTON, C.I.E., Superintendent, Madras Government Museum; Correspondant Étranger, Assisted by K. Rangachari, M.A., of the Madras Government Museum. Volume I--A and B Government Press, Madras 1909. PREFACE. In 1894, equipped with a set of anthropometric instruments obtained on loan from the Asiatic Society of Bengal, I commenced an investigation of the tribes of the Nilgiri hills, the Todas, Kotas, and Badagas, bringing down on myself the unofficial criticism that "anthropological research at high altitudes is eminently indicated when the thermometer registers 100° in Madras." From this modest beginning have resulted:--(1) investigation of various classes which inhabit the city of Madras; (2) periodical tours to various parts of the Madras Presidency, with a view to the study of the more important tribes and classes; (3) the publication of Bulletins, wherein the results of my work are embodied; (4) the establishment of an anthropological laboratory; (5) a collection of photographs of Native types; (6) a series of lantern slides for lecture purposes; (7) a collection of phonograph records of tribal songs and music. The scheme for a systematic and detailed ethnographic survey of the whole of India received the formal sanction of the Government of India in 1901. A Superintendent of Ethnography was appointed for each Presidency or Province, to carry out the work of the survey in addition to his other duties.
