edit@Sitush: What is the need of Kaikkolar in Vellalr page? Tirukodimadachengunrur (talk) 11:34, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- It is mentioned in the source as a lower ranking group, not a low ranking one. - Sitush (talk) 11:48, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
@Sitush:Kaikkolars are not a low ranking cast. They ranked next to Vellalar.

- You need to re-read what is said in the article. It does not say they are low ranking. - Sitush (talk) 11:49, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
@Sitush:https://books.google.co.in/books?id=ALUvDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA181&dq=kaikkolars+high+ranking&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjhhOu2yr3qAhXuzjgGHbARBG4Q6AEILjAB#v=onepage&q=kaikkolars%20high%20ranking&f=false
👆According to this source Kaikkolars groups are ranked next to Vellalar(high ranking group).
Then why you mentioned Kaikkolar as low ranking group?
In many source Kaikolars/Sengunthar are master weaver and prominent warriors. https://books.google.co.in/books?id=J3nHg-eKWuIC&pg=PA278&dq=kaikkolar+mudali&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwif68fMzL3qAhUeyDgGHbqkDxYQ6AEIKTAA#v=onepage&q=kaikkolar%20mudali&f=false
So kaikkolar are not a low ranking group Tirukodimadachengunrur (talk) 11:59, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
@Sitush: in some region Sengunthar/Kaikolar also a sub caste of Vellalar
Tirukodimadachengunrur (talk) 12:07, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- I say it again, with a quote from the article this time:
several lower-ranking castes
- my emphasis. Lower is not the same as low. According to the source[the title] Mudaliar (used for the high-ranking subcaste of Tondaimandalam Vellalars, but also for the rather low caste of weavers or Kaikkilars), or Panikkar (Pallars and Parayars).
It seems that Kaikkilar = Kaikkolar, given the spelling method used throughout that source. You will be aware that different sources spell caste names slightly differently. - Sitush (talk) 12:08, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- That said, the article is slightly wrong - Gough is referring to the Panikkar title when she mentions Pulayar etc, so those last two castes need to be removed from the article. - Sitush (talk) 12:09, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
@Siush: Kaikkolar is a backward community.
Pulaiyar and Pallars are scheduled caste
So need to differentiate that "Kaikkolar a Backward community using Mudaliyar title" Tirukodimadachengunrur (talk) 12:26, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

- I fixed my mistake about the Pulayar etc. Does that now resolve your concern? I misread the punctuation in the source but it still says that the Kaikkilar are "lower" than the TVs, as does our article. - Sitush (talk) 14:53, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
