hi,firstly the nadar article has been tagged too because the source is a problem.second this pandyan claim thing should be precise book citations by scholars where it is clearly mentioned.i think the problem arises because there hasn't been any serious research done by genuine scholars on who the descendants of the pandyans actually are.also the parava article needs lot of cleaning see the wiki format on writing good articles especially the tone and style.happy editing.LinguisticGeek04:17, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
hi between i came across this page[1] .They also claim to be be pandyans.sources are pretty precise if you observe.LinguisticGeek04:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
see no original research on wikipedia.also the article has a lot of other problems other the pandyan claim.tone and style.you can solve that problem than being stuck on the pandyan claim.also if you are a reasearcher than get your thesis(abt paravs being pandyas) published by some university and then you can use that as a legitimate source on wikipedia.you can't draw conclusion just like that history is dynamic .happy editing.LinguisticGeek14:41, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
don't remove the tags put it back.make the corrections with citations now and i will check tomorrow if tags need to removed.i don't have time today.LinguisticGeek15:39, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am able to give many references concerning the low caste status of the Paravar; here is one:[2], "Many of the Paravar are today tappers.". Stop your POV, vandalism, falsifications else i will provide more & more refs to show the low caste status of the Paravar.83.202.182.67 (talk)10:41, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
look this pandyan claim by most tamil castes including paravar ,shanar(nadar) and others is original research and synthesis and a complete mess concerning tone and style.there isn't solid proof or evidence regarding most of these theories.wikipedia clearly needs scholarly citations. both theNadar (caste) andParavas article has been tagged problematic because of this concern. i might no longer be able to guide you because of time constraints and other editing which i have to do.you can ask your queries to some editors or use the help me tag.thank youLinguisticGeek12:15, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thayiram iruntha nera vada meen thayoli mavane—Precedingunsigned comment added by59.92.103.111 (talk)16:38, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for you help onParavar. A few things.
ya warriors of a tribal(kattuvasi) community.Tax collector is another way of saying chieftian(they had complete civil authority). 10% of a very huge nadar population(the nadars constitute 80 to 90% of the population of southern tirunelveli and around Korkai!) is actually large. We lived in a real society. Not alone near the stinking sea. The paravars are a schedule caste near Kanniyakumari because dey are tribal illiterates.Sellin anythin dead or dealin with dead things is a extremely polluting occupation(the parayars made leather out the skin of dead animals and the paravars sold dead fish) and the paravars had to stay very far away from a brahmin territory unlike Nadars. The Nadar climbers or Shanars climbed trees and produced jaggery primarily. Toddy was only sold by some nadars. Thevars and nadars live in the same region(like in sivakasi and kamudi) not near the kuppam. Thevars will never consider a bunch of fisherman as their kin and the two races HAVE NOTHING in common.Manymembers of the Mukkulathore community are classed as backward caste(like kallars and agamudayars). Even the Ambattans(barber caste) come under the MBC category.Morever I have posted a link clearly provin that you were below the assaris and nadars.what is even more important is our current position in the society 'TODAY'. i am very well aware of the status of your caste(very poor!I ve seen many tamil movies like citizen)i am through arguing here and i am goin to mind my work from now on.so please.or do you want more.and watch your mouth.—Precedingunsigned comment added by59.96.136.80 (talk)17:53, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
