Kerala had the worst system of land ownership and caste system. No wonder swami vivekananda called Kerala a "mad house". Folks from outside kerala(even inside) do not know this, but I would like to shine some light on it.
- Brahmins (Namboothiri) of kerala brought caste system from south Karanataka (Tulu nadu)
- Brahmins of kerala were both morally corrupt and introduced the tyrannical system of sambandam in Kerala.
Kerala did have the worst caste system due to historical reason which I will explain in my next post. But your propaganda is truly pathetic.
CHRISTIAN LOGIC FAIL.
If Bramins were only 1% of the population, how the hell did they 'bring' the caste system and implement it ?
Did they have Magic and sorcery too that allowed the 1% to control the rest of the population without Arms and Ammunition ?
Clearly anyone with common sense will see the massive hole in your 'theory'.
BTW Sambandham was introduced in India by the Chera Kings for recruiting Nair soldiers into his army. The idea was to make sure the men had not much attachment to his family and was ready to die for the kingdom. Most of the men died in battle and the only way to repopulate and maintain society was 'sambandam'. IT had less to do with 'brahmin corruption' than practical realities of life. But nice spin of British history.
It is these kind of 'history' that informs people that you are a Christian. ............. speaking the gospels about "Brahmins"
- They caste system made all native people of kerala shudras (Nair was designated shudra caste and Ezhava became
outside caste)
LOL..... WRONG. Both Nair and Ezhava were Shudras.
- They owned all the land in kerala. they made Nairs their military caste and themselves the landowners
WRONG AGAIN
The Legal Land onwers were Brahmins (Jenmi), the legal right to work the land belonged to kanakkars (mostly nairs).
- Nair were historically Naga bhakthars, like the worshippers of Snake. Nair were declared shudra caste has to keep a certain distance from Namboodiri while interacting.
Hilarious
....... Nair had sarpa kovil so that the Snake did not enter their house and bite them. This is because they lived in a land abundant with Snakes, a lot of them poisonous. Not because they were 'snake worshippers'. Nairs were Vedic Hindus and had a Vedic Fire burning at their house at all times.
Nair were Shudra caste because they were land owners and worked the land. Shudras were people who owned land and animals you moron.
- In this system of sambandam, only the eldest male son of Brahmin can marry. This was done so that the land
of the "mana" or "Illam" do not get divided. Now imagine the plight of Brahmin women called Andharajanam, they have to be one of the many wives to the old namboothiri. There were cases of eloping and enquiry called smarthavicharam. google is your friend.
I have already explained how sambandam started. It is for this same reason the brahmins were not allowed to marry. Only the eldest was allowed to marry to propogage his lineage. The rest were forbidden to marry so that they could continue to have alliance with Nair women and give rise to warriors who then got trained in kalari and then joined the Kings army.
Since the rest of the Brahmin men could not marry, the brahmin women had a choice of either staying unmarried or marrying the only available groom. Most chose to marry, many chose to remain single.
The habit of Brahmin men to sleep with other caste women was one fo teh reason's for mapilla revolts.
More Christian Lies. Mapilla revots had more to do with the changing of land ownership rights by the british. The British ignored tradition and granted full ownership rights to Nairs and thereby denied the normal legal rights the mapilla had to work on that land and share the income.
-Rest of the sons do pudava mattal (temporary marriage) ie they go a sleep at Nair women's house during night and return before morning.
The children in the arrangement do not belong to him but to the women. This we call Matrilineal system. only Kerala and costal Karanataka has this system. Nair women can give back the Sari and get a new Man. This is also the reason the proportion of Brahmins in kerala dwindles fast because only the eldest son's kids were considered legal, rest were Nair caste.
Again RUBBISH. The Children belonged to the Nair family and the King. Since the family was denied males, the ownership rights were transferred to women. THAT is how the Matrilineal system started.
Brahmins were never more than 1 to 2% of population anywhere in India.
- Even Nair Men do sambandam and kids live in woman's house and father is not involved in child rearing. This makes the Nair men good fighters for they are not concerned about their kids, sometimes they do not know who is the father of the child.
That is because marriage itself was outlawed by the king as a special measure, the children were sent to Kalari to learn the art and then joined the Kings army and fought fought for the country and DIED for the country.
It is difficult to raise a child when you are dead, dying or fighting a war. The Men however belonged t the Nair Taravade. The same way the "Pandavas" belonged to the Pandu clan.
- In Nair tharavadu, Women are have the power. The more women are there in a tharavadu, the more it's fame and money. again a product of matrilineal system. The more there is woman, the more namboodiri temporary alliance and money.
RUBBISH. The real power in a Nair Tharavadu always lied with the 'karnore' or the "care taker" who was the eldest living male in the family. Only the legal rights of succession was with women.
It is against this backdrop that the first Govt of Kerala was a communist Govt.
EMS Namoothiripad ( born a Brahmin) tried to do land and education reform. He was the great leader who
enacted land reform. All the sharecroppers(who till the land and pay tax to Jamin's) were declared land owners.
This is how KERALA DOES NOT HAVE A FEUDAL SYSTEM, unlike other states in India. I think even Pakistan has feudal land lords. This is also the reason Kerala is a highly developed and literate state unlike other states. Caste system has also been muted here.
He only tried to UNDO the damage the British did.
Kerala DOES have a FEUDAL SYSTEM Today. With the Christians on Top, followed by Muslims.
The Lower caste hindus continue to remain at the BOTTOM of this structure
........ how convenient for Christians like you.
Middle east traders, who acted as middle for all the spice trade for Europe and Asia were also horse traders.
It is through them that Christianity and Islam came to Kerala. It was Trade and caste system, which prompted conversion. British have nothing to do with it. In fact, Christians of Kerala are totally different denomination from British christianily( only a very tiny portion).
During the southwest monsoon season( June to september) they sail in windsail ships to India and south east Asia, when wind blows from southwest. Alternatively during northeast monsoon season (october to December), they travel back to Arabia and East Africa.
LOL..... more LIES.
The syrian Christians came as refugees. But the rest of christiasn are converts by the British, the dutch etc.
.... but you are right. Almost all the converts are lower caste.
Islam too was INTRODUCED by the trade winds, but the vast majority of converts was by TIPU SULTAN.
Almost EVERYTHING you are said is a LIE and a VILE Christian Propaganda. But I will relish this opportunity to tear down each and every Lies you put forth and expose your Devious christian agenda.
Le the Mallus see the True face of Christian secularism.
Thanks for sharing these points. I had no idea that ancient kerala caste system is so fucked up.
And you will continue to be ignorant if you choose propaganda over facts.
Yes it was totally fucked up because of the Brahmin's lust for women and wealth. Kerala must be the only state where Brahmins were big time land owners.
Wrong. In Hindu India ALL Land belongs to the state. It was true in kerala too. The Brahmins were only the custodial care takers.
THAT is why for all practical purpose the legal right to earnings from the land went to those who worked it.
I contemplated several times to post this, was hesitant because I don't want to Kerala in bad light,
but the blatant lying by the BJP members here, made me change my mind.
I am glad you did, it will help you expose the true face of Christianity to the rest of the world.
Kerala Caste system is totally different from other states. Nair's "were given Kshatriya functions, but only Shudra status".
Ezhavas became Labour class and avarna. .Brahmins did all these by claiming that Parashuraman gave this land to them. The Namboothiri's even considered Brahmins of other states to be beaneath them, even local rulers.
WRONG
Ezhavas were Shudras too. That was because they were land owners. The kshatriya was given to people who did not own land. The king did not own any land.
Even syrian Christians practiced some caste hierarchy, but all these caste systems have been thoroughly muted in Modern day Kerala, Thanks to the Communists. otherwise the evils of caste system seen in rural areas of other states would have continued there too.
Rubbish. Even today the syrians do not marry into other chrisitan communities
Before the arrival of Kerala Namboothiris from Tulunadu, Kerala was Buddhists and Naga bhakthars. The history of Kerala is very new, a very new language, no historical literary reference - an ideal ground to create the system, some cruel folks wanted to experiment upon.
Hilarious. The Namboothris of Kerala trace their lineage from Parasuram, not Tamil Nadu. IT is the Iyer and Iyengars who are from TN. Your Ignorance is Profound.
WTF is "Naga bhakthars" ?
........ Nairs were pretty much staunch Hindus. There were Buddhhism in Kerala like the rest of India, before Shakaracharya brought back everybody to hinduism again. Maybe history of kerala is "new" to christians like you, but for Hindus like me, it is VERY OLD.
Christian propaganda cannot overwrith the TRUTH. The days of your master British is long gone.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambandam
so you see, Namboothiris, Christians & Muslims practiced patrilineal system, rest followed matrilneal system
Now yuo can see why Brahmins in Kerala was reduced to less than 1%. one word answer - greed.
So Wikipedia is the new Bible now ?
Marriage was outlawed among the chief service castes in Kerala due to constant war with the Pandyas and Cholas. THAT is why sambandam existed.
Christians and muslims men did not die for the kingdom. They were free to have the patriinear system.
BTW the christian population in kerala is SHRINKING. IS that because of GREED too ? or is that only for 'brahmins' ?
Ezhavas 23%
Nairs 14%
Dheevars 3%
Scheduled Castes 9.8% (includes
Pulayars- 3.27%)
[37]
Scheduled Tribes 1.14%
Brahmins 1%
Muslims 26.56%
Christians 18.38%
Others 3%
What is this suppose to prove ? That christians have shrunk from 20% to 18 % because of GREED ?
