Who Are The Paraiyars? A Historical Overview During 19th & 20th Centuries

Author Name : Po. Chezhian

Paraiyar (or) Parayar (formerly anglicized as Pariah and Paree) is a caste group found in the Indian state of Tamilnadu. They are also known as Adi-Dravida (Ancient Dravidians) which was a title encouraged by the British Raj as a substitute for Paraiyar because the British believed that their colonizing of the country had ended slavery in India.
