All these Dravidian labouring castes employ barbers, washermen and generally priests, of their own community. Ethnologically, the group presents features of very great interest and importance in respect to its origin and history, and much remains to be done in sifting the different strata of a people of whom so little is known in comparison with what has been ascertained concerning the servile classes in upper India. Not that there is any lack of theory, conjecture and analogy.
