According to the TN govt lists, http://www.tn.gov.in/departments/bclist.htm, http://www.tn.gov.in/departments/mbclist.htm
Isai Velala is MBC in TN!
I dont understand why these castes are BC - Sourashtra (generally rich community), Telugu Chetty, Twenty four Manai Telugu Chetty (very wealthy jewellers community)! could not digest this!

In general, any non-vegetarian caste can get OBC and almost impossible for vegetarian caste to get OBC, the DMK reservation policy is not just anti-brahmin but also anti-hindu since it encourages non-vegetarianism and vegetarian tamil castes are barred from reservation benefits
Regarding Sourashtra community, they are 'Aryan' migrants from Gujurat much later than the Tambram migration
Genetically Guju brahmins are 33% R1A and Tambrahms are 28% R1A and Tambrahms map genetically to Guju brahmins and Saurashtrians
and phenotypically Tambrahms and Sourashtrians overlap a lot
300 years ago, Sourashtrians won a case in Madurai Nayak rule, to be classified as brahmins
Many older Saurashtrians add an Iyer suffix
Very many Saurashtrian were active in the DMK movement
Ostensibly the DMK is pro-Tamil and anti-North Indian languages, but Saurashtrians who speak a Guju dialect at home, Muslims who speak Urdu, Telegus like Vaiko and Karunanidhi, Kannadigas like EVR and Malayalis like MGR are dravidians whereas Tambrams who have 17% L1 just like every other south Indian is an Aryan invader
