Tamil Castes and Consolidation - Hacker Style Cheat Sheet

Tamil caste system and its hierarchies are complex and difficult to understand--due to different addressing systems. Similarly, the caste consolidation or grouping of similar or different castes under some title is extremely confusing. In many cases, the caste consolidation doesn't make any sense, but due to ulterior motives of politicians for their vote bank politics, these systems exist.

So, to explain the system, I created a formula like cheat sheet:

Vellalar = Pillai + Mudaliar + [Gounder]
Pillai > Mudaliar ~ Gounder

Thevar = Maravar + Kallar + [Agamudayar + [Senathipathi]]
Senathipathi >>> Agamudiyar > Maravar ~ Kallar
Agamudayar ~ Gounder

Vanniyar = Padayachi + Gounder + [Naicker + [Reddy]]
Naicker >>> Reddy > Padayachi ~ Gounder
* Gounder is BC, Padayachi is MBC
