<!--QuoteBegin-Pandyan+Jul 29 2008, 02:27 PM-->QUOTE(Pandyan @ Jul 29 2008, 02:27 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->What is the prevalence of adornment of the sacred thread by non-brahmin castes in TN? I've read that a few forward castes in TN do it. Any insight?

<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

In Andhra the Komati Chetty wears the sacred thread and is classified as a vaishya
Whereas the closely related Chettiar in Tamil Nadu does not wear the sacred thread and is classified as a Shudra

IMHO, this type of stupidity by the brahmins is one of the main reasons of anti-brahmin behavior
If they had handed out sacred thread to 25% of the tamil population
( tamil elites ), there would have been no dravidianist movement

In tamil nadu, a lot of non-brahmin castes speak telegu at home
Some of these castes may indeed have the sacred thread

I know there are a whole lot of chettiars such as kannada chettiars and so on
Some of these non-brahmin non-tamil castes may have the sacred thread

IMHO, no purely tamil caste has the sacred thread
