Nambiar Article
Well firstly, the previous discussion must have been no consensus but u might notice tht now there is plenty of discussion taking place there. Anyways, firstly Nambiars are mentioned in four classes and one of them are the Nair Nambiars of Malabar. There is no evidence and neither is there any statement in any historical book tht nambiars are 'arya' or 'kshatriyas'. Yes it is true tht they are generally royally descended, higher than other nairs etc. also they did have aitham with common nairs. but the doesnt make anyone a kshatriya...besides ceremonies like upanayanam etc are totaly unheard of for nambiars. I dont see why we try keeping to gain kshatriya status...though not technically, all nairs are Kshatriyas...castes like Nambiars, Unnithans, Thampis etc did maintain themselves above other nairs but still they were all considered nairs...well thts the reason actually...the article seems like a lot of fanciful and wishful stuff like those dynasties and ceremonies n kshatriyahood etc...Manu
