feedback: Hi,  I am a malayalee nair living in chennai for the last 3 years.
I chanced upon your site through google and i find it very informative.

However, i would like to point some inaccuracies in the list of famous "PILLAI"people.

MGR was a "Menon" or a Nair of North Kerala. As far as i know, vellala nairs are concentrated only in the southern part of kerala, near trivandrum and kollam districts.

All nairs are not vellalas. But nairs of south kerala inter marry with vellala nairs.

Similarly, thakazhi sivasankara pillai and industrialist ravi pillai are in my humble opinion , not vellalas.

In the travancore kingdon, "Pillai" was a title given to nairs as an honour for excellence in their field of work.

But on the whole, this is a very informative site.

A wonderful site... From SHUNMUGA MUTHUK... to You  Sent 1 day ago

  http://saivaneri.ning.com/profiles/message/show?id=183624212&folder=Inbox&page=1

  Hello Sir,

I received many of ur communications & updations thro' mails, but this one I am sure You made a difference....which is a wonderful idea that benefits all of us in ways & means... Best wishes for great success in all ur endowers.. From SHUNMUGA MUTHUK...   at www.Saivaneri.ning.com

sir

thanks for your views....

it will be published at our site...www.saivaneri.org

i think Ka - Vun - Dar means the people who had "Ka" the village or kanagam the kaadu or the Kaanagam the woods....

So Ka - Vun - Dar - the people who has woods - the forest - the erstwhile vellalars first lived in forests

thats why still you see some Vettuva Kavundar in their ethnic diversity....

Vettuva Kavundars cant marry with Vellala Gounders - the Rich land lords...

so there are lot of internal divisions just like Tamil Pillais...

So the whole Caste history of India is Selection of Best Species....

Thats why Tirunelveli Saiva Pillai means - sure shot of finding some intellectuals or Rich people who settled alongside Tambrabarni river

Thats why Tanjore Saiva Pillai are given a premium 0 because they own fertile lands alog side Kaveri river

The Rich Social History of Kaveri Karai Tanjore Saiva Pillai is given in the Sakitya Academy winning Tamil Novel by Thi. Janakiraman - himself an Iyer who studied Pillai Social mores

So thats why Illathu Pillai dont marry with Saiva Pillai

and all other stories....

I write the History only at our site.....I dont want to write LIES or Canards...

Thanks for your feedback...

Pasupati K Pillai

feedback: hi friends

i accept that mudaliars and pillais are of same origin .we share more or less
similar characters pillais are soft mnatured ppls as of mudaliars. i am a
citizen of kongu nadu my family was here from 17 th century

but i beg to differ  ur information abt gounders

actually if u see gounders are non tamils they are the ppl who immigrated  from
karntaka the gowder community in karnataka is called gounders here it may be
around 16 century

the meaning of the word gounder or kovender has no tamil meaning and it can  be
split according to tamil illakana  vithigal ......its a kannada term called
kavunda which means  a l village cheftian........kongu is the name of the region
........there are  even kongu chettiars .........and velalars are the ppl who do
agriculture you can see cholia vella pandiya vella even now..but  gounder is the
name of the specific caste systems   as that of pillais mudaliars devars which
have  an excellent tamil meaning...........

so pls consider my views ????????
i would submit other proofs not literary but observed by me .......which are
verifiable

so i am here to say that today's writings becomes tomorrows history  i would be
pleased if u this is consider into issue

feedback: I see that most castes which carry the traditional surname of
"Pillai" have been covered, however Ezhur Chetty or Ezhur Chettu (search
wikipedia for comments) which is one of the major castes carrying the
same surname is not included in the list, considering that the
population is much higher than few other castes mentioned, I think it
merits an inclusion.

Needles to say, I belong to this caste. Please send any of your comments to my email

Hello, Friend - Fine to see ur mail the very next day. Oh! What a great reply, just a week has passed by and your response was extremely good and too on the hourly basis. You surpassed my expectations. Today
there only very few persons who belong to their respective subjects reply genuinely and positively depending upon the case due to which they become celebrated in the due course and stand out of others. Similar quality of your's shows the quality of your's and also put you on par with such celebrated persons. Very many thanks for provding a link to my site from your site upon my request. I thought of replying to you after changing the way my site looks so that others don't strain to look, only after many persons advised me to do besides your request. Now I have  modified my site slightly and then thought of sending a reply to you. My wishes to your family and parents. Once again Thank You, Thank You,  Thank You, Thank You, Thank You,..........,

Ancestors & Pillai subsectFriday, 19 December, 2008 3:42 PMFrom: "raghur_kp"
To: saivaneri@yahoogroups.comVanakkam,
I'm Raghuraman from Bangalore. I'm here in search of my native town and the subset of Pillai, that we belong to. This group is a very helpful one to bring all the community people together. My best wishes and good luck for further expansion and progress of the group. My grandpa and folks of his generation carried the title Pillai. I have some documents (mostly relating to 1920's-40's - wedding invitations, karnabushanam) which carries the surname as pillai. Can anybody help me in discovering what pillai we are? We traditionally are strict followers of Vishnu and our food habits are Non-Veg. One of my elder cousin, who had the chance to talk to my gradpa (My grandpa died when I was 2yrs old)was told that his grandpa's family had migrated to Bangalore around the year 1850's, from around Gingee area. Any help as to how to go about tracing my ancestry will be really appreciated. Best Regards, Raghuraman. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

feedback: I am a Christian. My grand mother told me that I am a nangilnadu pillai. My family became Christian in a quarrel between ourselves while pulling to festival car in a village near Suchindram
in K.K District. My family became christian after the death of Vethanayagam Pillai. Eventhouth I am christian I am interested in knowing the past. About 50 to 60 families became christian after the quarrel.

This site gave me a clear idea where my root is from. I have lost my root but I am happy to know that who we are.

Sir, I belong to Tirunelveli saiva pillai, son of retired tahsildar subramanian (Tuticorin). I need this Web-material, but I have only the debit card and not the credit card, I wish to pay directly and collect the material. The web site needs lot of improvement and user friendliness. I have a dream  project but unable to implement. (Tried, but failed). If possible, prepare pakka chart and a corporation. by raising this in Vellalar meeting, could achieve it. it is as follows.

Formation of VOC City: (Tried, but failed)

1. City with only Pillai groups.
2. If 500 Peoples joins together, can achieve this.
3. I got a info that 1 acres for 50,000. (Total 10,000 acres)
4. 50 acres should be common for the city.
5. In which the following needs to be built
a. Theatre like mayajal in chennai
b. Snow world like in abirami in chennai
c. Restaurant
d. Children's park (Video games, computer center, swimming pool, skating
ground, other playing materials
e. Kids zone
6. Temple
7. Gymnasium
8. Petrol Bunk
9. Garden like brindavan
10. Colonies
a) with Bio gas - electricity, gas
b) Solar street Lamp
c) Play ground and so many

And lot more... By doing this, the ground value will go up and a city for pillai will be formed. ( 1000 acres will be considered as a village, which will decide a MLA )

I can see lot of guys interested in developing our community. can use them and lift them up. I am trying to form a group where I got around 20 peoples said ok to buy 100 acres together. but I need more people. Pls
communicate in further towards it. we have many rich/interested people in our community. need a head and proper leadership. will proceed in further  on seeing ur reply. Rgds / Kailash

feedback: Hi All,
First this is great website for Saiva Pillais. I'm hyrib by caste, Saiva Pillai (maternal) and Kshathiryar (paternal) well my surname is match by numerology. Anyway, there are a lot comments about Pillai's here wearing poonul and not the warrior caste. Well let me get the say of Tamil; Kalaan, Marayen, Aagamudiyar, slowly Vellavar come. Meaning is simple, when warrior clans, king urbanization took place, they made Kalaan /marayen (thief and smuggler)to be meaningful trader (Aagamudiyar) than slow groom them into vellavar, very fine eusthic people good in agriculture and domestic trade counsel. Late the Pillai was divide into Saiva Pillai like Appar and Chola Pillai, king's advisor. The Saiva Pillais are regarded to be much devote to Saiva God and held as high as the aryan brahim and wear poonul. Pillai contribution was great like Chimbaram Pillai and etc. The Saiva Pillai have been given great respect and responsible in naturing the Tamil culture.

hi. please if you can get me some info. my great grand father came from India on 8.1.1873 on a ship name John Allen his name was Shiva Subromaniam Pillai my grand father name Tamby Pillai came from Coimbatore east of Kerala they both spoke Malayalam and Tamil. Please if you could help me in any way
