Blanking the page

On first examination, I observed that some anonymous IP had blanked the page and I immediately reverted the edit as blanking constitutes a violation of Wikipedia's policies. But on reverting the edit, I observed that the page had earlier been vandalized by a blocked user who had been indulging in defamation and libelious accusations of particular communities. Besides, removal of edits made by a blocked user do not constitute vandalism at all(As per Wikipedia:BAN#Enforcement by reverting edits). Hence, I am "undo"ing those edits with due apologies to the reverter. -Ravichandar 04:30, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Konars in Contemporary Tamil Society

Konars are land-owning caste in the districts of Tirunelveli and Ramnathapuram. Konars are also called Yadavar, which originates from the word Yadava.

POV-section - This Section trying to portray some group of people as superior and some group of people as inferior based on their birth. This should be avoided.

Castes found in Tamil Nadu in general and Ramanathapuram district in particular may broadly be grouped into three categories: Brahmins, non-Brahmins and the Scheduled Castes. While the Brahmins are considered the highest in the caste hierarchy, the non-Brahmin castes are considered the middle level castes.

The more visible middle level castes include the land owning castes such as Vellalar, Ahamudayar (Servai), Maravar (Thevar), Kallar, Konar (Yadavar) and the Telegu speaking Naidus; trading castes such as Chettiyar, artisan castes like Kusavar or Kuyavan (Potter), Kotthan (mason), Thachan (carpenter), Kollan (blacksmith), Thattans or Nahai Aasari (goldsmith); and the servicing castes such as Ambattan (barbers) and Vannan (washermen). The more visible castes among the Scheduled Castes in Ramanathapuram district are the Mallars, Parayars and Chakkiliyars.
