Zamindar of Ariyalur

Your assumptions are truly false and you have a deep misunderstanding of the issue Mr.Sharmalan Thevar. The fact is that the Polygars of Ariyalur were Vanniyars only – in 1817 they were granted the sanad to rule over the zemindari district of Ariyalur , from 1790s-1817 the estate was under the management of the British government , Nawab-agents etc. the poligars were renters in that period as well as pensioners of the Company. The poligars were restored to a fraction of their original estates in 1817 – the same family of poligars who were ruling it before 1765 were the ones who obtained the sanad in 1817 after the inter regnum – In Lewis Moore's district manual of 1878 it has been wrongly published that Ariyalur and Udayarpalayam zamindars were Kallars (This is not with respect to 1817 but in the year 1878) , only in 1871 the estate was sold to auctioneers by the British government due to the fact that the Poligar of Ariyalur had defaulted in his debts to the British government. Even Mackenzie's Manuscripts(1805) – Edgar Thurston(1909) and : 1907 Trichinopoly manual has correctly referred to the Ariyalur and Udayarpalayam poligars as belonging to Padayatchi subdivision of Palli/Vanniyar caste , Inscriptional evidence (archaelogy dept. of tn), Mackenzie manuscripts say the Ariyalur and Udayarpalayam Palayams were established before the 16th and 15th centuries (1308 and 1495) respectively at that time there were no Kallar palayams or poligars as well(The Kallar caste came to Tanjore/delta region as elephant catchers only during the early 17th century Nayakkar rule and later on they became zamindars and poligars under the erstwhile Maratha rulers and started using many Chola era titles like Vandayar , Mazhavarayar etc. but there is no historical/inscriptional evidence to show that the Kallar poligars who used these titles also ruled during Chola period), , all the inscriptions(SII , TN ARCHAEOLOGY DEPT. ASI.) refer to them(Ariyalur , Udayarpalayam) zamindars as Vanniyar caste only- the Udayarpalayam Zamindar's kaipeethu in 1779 – says "Vanniyar kulam gingee samasthanam" . The current descendants of Ariyalur and Udayarpalayam zamindars are Vanniyars . Mr. Sharmalan you must learn to recognise and read the information in the sources properly – don't put forth your own conclusions as you have falsely done in your blog without an iota of historical evidence – you also lack proper historical knowledge and your blog posts clearly shows how you copy paste stuff from internet simply in the name of history. Clearly your blog posts are a reflection of the fact that you are trying to appropriate some other community's history and that you have simply said that Vanniyar is simply a title on what basis – it is our caste name since the Chola period – with respect to inscriptional evidence Iam writing the line.Mr. Sharmalan can you show even one historical evidence that your community had Vanniyar name before Vijayanagara period- it is shown only as a title in your community – but even in Vijayanagara period it was a caste name in idangai faction and in Chola period it was our caste name as well along with Palli name. Silai elupathu was written by Kambar for the Vanniyar Kulam ' Caste'- In the 1929 G.O it is clearly mentioned that Pallis or Vanniers may be collectively referred to as 'Vanniya Kula Kshatriya' in Tamil districts – it does not say Palli should be changed to Vanniyar – even Sambuvaraya Kings are referred to as Palli IN INSCRIPTIONS AND EVEN AS VANNIYAR IN OTHER INSCRIPTIONS AND MADURA VIJAYAM. MR. SHARMALAN PLEASE READ HISTORY PROPERLY – HISTORY IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE COPY PASTED SIMPLY FROM UNAUTHENTIC WEBSITES – TRUE HISTORY IS ONE WHICH SHOULD BE SEARCHED AND FOUND , MURALI NAYAKKAR HAS A MILLION TIMES BETTER HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE THAN YOU MURALI NAYAKKAR HAS PUT FORTH SEVERAL INSCRIPTIONAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE IN MANY OF HIS BLOG POSTS PREVIOUSLY UNLIKE YOU .YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS TO EVEN CRITICISE MURALI NAYAKKAR. MR.SHARMALAN, YOUR HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDING IS TOTALLY TRASH AND WORTHLESS- IN NONE OF YOUR BLOG POSTS YOU HAVE SHOWN ANY PROPER REFERENCE WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER HISTORICAL AUTHENTIC SOURCES LIKE – T.N ARCHAEOLOGICAL DEPT. , EPIGRAHICA , SOUTH INDIAN INSCRIPTIONS ETC. , YOU HAVE EXPLICITLY COPY PASTED STUFF FROM INTERNET – DO YOU THINK HISTORIANS LIKE NOBORU KARASHIMA , Y.SUBBARAYALU , L.THIAGARAJAN , NATANA KASINATHAN , U.V SAMINATHA IYER , WERE ALL DOING THE SAME BULLCRAP STUFF WHICH YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW? ONE FINAL THING – MR.SHARMALAN THEVAR DOES NOT HAVE PROPER HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE AND DOES NOT SHOW ANY REFERENCE IN ANY OF HIS BLOG POSTS.
