This work made an attempt to trace a comprehensive study of the Nayars of South Travancore and their contribution towards the cultural fusion and transmission of our Tamil culture. Historians and scholars who dealt the History of the Nayars both on macro and micro levels, paid no attention of their role in South Travancore. Movements established novel phase in the social history of Travancore that eventually affected the social position of the Nayars of South Travancore. The agrarian reforms, western contacts and depressed class But the social transformation that emerged out of the political development in the princely State of Travancore threatened their political position. In South Travancore, the Nayars moulded a cultural synthesis and helped the other Savarna Communities to follow their family organization and social customs and manners.īeing a predominant community, the NayarsĮnjoyed pre-eminent political status, social identity and economic prosperity.
