Paraiyar
Paraiyar or Parayar (in the past, anglicised as Pariah; translated as "slave") is a caste group found in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. They are also known as Adi Dravida ("Original Dravidian"), which was a title encouraged by the British Raj as a substitute for ''Paraiyar'' because the British believed that their colonising of the country had ended slavery in India.〔Irschick (1994), pp 168-169.〕
The Indian census of 2001 reported that in Tamil Nadu the Adi Dravida population was about 5,402,755 and the Paraiyar population as 1,860,519.
== History ==
Some scholars presume that Paraiyars must have been followers of Buddhism, constituted the original population and after the invasion by Brahmanical conquerors, they lost their culture, religion, wealth and status in the society and become destitute.〔Bergunder (2004), pp. 67 - 72.〕
