ezhava
ezhavas or thiyyas the proud and formost people of kerala.they fall behind in wealth and social status not because of any lack of hardwork ,quality ,brilliancy or any thing.only because they were proud ,and loved their land ,due to unwillingness to become servants of foreign rulers including nambuthiries.those who became their servants got the higher community status and also the sudra status.so we should be proud as we are not an unworthy class.also study history ,all history books are not correct.elamkulam kuchanpilla is a good auther.also beware there was a treachery from christians of central kerala to split ezhavas and thiyyas,because there was a tension there between them in kottayam.one of them as part of the plan has put forward a theory that ezhavas came from europe,its rubbish.they have published a book too ,it was funded by this gang.
one thing too,before the british rule entire kerala from managalpuram to kanyakummari ,was known as malabar.and caste divisions were not so rigid as is thought today.its also widely thought that nairs were the sole warriors and soldeirs but its totally untrue.numerous refferences of thiyya pada is there in history.many ministers of samudiri was ezhavas.even the calicut towns cheif officer kothuwal ,forts captain was thiyya.also the chief administer of the town was also an ezhava.even my forefathers were the cheifs and army capains including the body guards of the samudiri family staying in kadalundi area.during sakthan thamupar of kochi ,vadunnatha temple was guarded by ezhavas soldeirs.in travancore the navy captain was thiyya who fought along with veluthampi and is regarded as one of the great heros of kerala.greater part of travancore army comprised of ezhavas only.one thing too there is not much referrence about nair heros or warriors before 15th century.
biologically and ethnically all castes actually have no differ.
