Thiru. Vi Ka was a Thuluva Vellala

Below references establish Thiru Vi Ka was born in Vellalar community

1. The political career of E.V. Ramasami Naicker: a study in the politics of Tamil Nadu, 1920-1949 by Ī. Ca Vicuvanātan̲: Page 32 “T. V. Kalyanasundara Mudaliar (1883-1953) a Vellala Tamil scholar and one of the MPA secretaries”

2. Historical Dictionary of the Tamils By Vijaya Ramaswamy, Jawaharlal Nehru University: Page No 182 Clearly says he was a Vellalar “ KALYANASUNDARAM, THIRU V. (1883–1953). Kalyanasundaram was born in 1883 into a Vellalar (agriculturist) family of Tiruvaroor...”

3. Below reference from the book: CULTURAL ASPIRATIONS Essays on the Intellectual History of the Colonial Tamil Nadu by A. Gangatharan indirectly says he was a Vellalar and following Saivism “ Thiru V. Kalyanasundaranar also was criticized for his allegiance to Saivism, which created differences between Smartha Brahmins and the Vellala Savites.”(Since Thiru Vi Ka was a Vellalar, his allegiance to Shaivism created those differences between the community he belongs to and Brahmins — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srivatsarcot1 (talk • contribs) 13:21, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thuluva Vellalar

Why including Agamudaiyar in Thuluva Vellalar? Tirukodimadachengunrur (talk) 04:33, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kanakaraya Mudali was a Tuluva Vellala

Kanakaraya Mudali’s grandfather Thanappa Mudaliar (converted to Christianity and took the name Lazaro de Mota) was from Poonamalee. In fact they belong to Poonamalee Mudaliars community, a sub-section of Tuluva Vellalar. Do not remove this notable dubashi from the page with an alleged lie that he was a weaver --Srivatsarcot1 (talk) 06:47, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious sourcing

Among the many dubious sources that have appeared in this article, we are flat-out suggesting that M. Arokiaswami. The Early History of the Vellar Basin, with Special Reference to the Irukkuvels of Kodumbalur: A Study in Vellala Origin and Early History. Amudha Nilayam, 1954. p. 36. verifies something which in fact is disputed. I can't find my opy of Burton's Stein's Peasant State and Society in Medieval South India at the moment but I know he disputed much of what Arokiaswami claims. There is no harm in mentioning the Arokiaswami opinion, of course, but we should also be showing that it is contested. - Sitush (talk) 09:10, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
