Hi Arjunnattar. I've reverted you twice at Kallar (caste), so please don't re-add that info. The problem is that it isn't actually verified in the book you're quoting from. If you look at the source, that claim is not the author's opinion; rather, it's just what one interviewee told the author. Thus, we can't accept that statement as a fact, since the author doesn't independently verify it or even state agreement with it. As such, it's not reliable enough for inclusion. But if you want to discuss further, please go to the article's talk page ( Talk:Kallar (caste)) and start a new discussion at the bottom of that page. I've also left a standard welcoming note above which has a lot of links to useful Wikipedia policies. Qwyrxian ( talk) 15:02, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
{help me}} Thanks for the information. I believe that,we cannot generalize all the Kallars as thieves. It is clearly mentioned in both the books that they have been warriors of the kings and also have been assigned to protect the people. Sure,Kallar literally means thieves in Tamil but does not necessarily mean all Kallars are thieves. I can show you the examples from the books you have mentioned where it is clear that all kallars are not thieves.
Can you please explain me what exactly does this mean? "In very early times the Kallar had petty princes of their ownm-and still have one at puducottah,-and they were employed as soldiers bu the more powerful kings of the south,and in predatory excursions against neighbouring sovereigns."Why can't i use this in the edit section? This was taken from the same book from Edward Balfour. Arjunnattar ( talk) 15:12, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
Please look at this reference. [1]After he mentions the meaning of the word Kallar he immediately defines who they are. Arjunnattar ( talk) 15:32, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
It seems that you have changed your username. That's ok but please do not change the name in the numerous talk page posts, as at Talk:Kallar (caste). Your old name should direct to your new name anyway. - Sitush ( talk) 18:38, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
