Regarding Saiva Pillais,
In college, I had several Saiva Pillai friends and they filled me in
Apparently Pillais have 3 sub-castes of which only the Saiva Pillais are FC and the rest are BC
Isai Velala is BC, Suzhi velala is BC, kar-katha velala ( Saiva Pillai ) is FC,
So what happens is that many of the Saiva Pillais get fake caste certificates as Suzhi velalas and get reservation
And since physically a Saiva velala looks the same as a non-Saiva velala, they can get away with it
And IMHO, the solution to get TN brahmin doctors is to open new private caste based medical colleges in Karnataka or Gujurat
