[edit] Thevar/Mukkulathor
The Thevar/Mukkulathor (English: the three clans) are a Kshatriya warrior group, native to the southern districts of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The name "Mukkulathor" alludes to the three roughly designated groups, Kallar, Maravar and Agamudaiyar, which make up this wide endogamous social group. The Mukkulathors are of Chola, Pandya and Pallava lineage. [2] Mukkulathors are also collectively known as Moovender.
Mukkulathors are found all over the southern and central districts of Tamil Nadu, North-east Sri Lanka and amongst Tamil expatriate communities in South-East Asia and America. There is also a small community in Chattisgarh where they had migrated during British rule. The Royal houses of Sivagangai, Ramnad and Pudukkottai belongs to the Thevar community. They were people of high valour and strongly resisted every British attempt to subjugate them.
