Hello Elowa! |

The vandal you warned about is now vandalizing an article edited by prominent editors. Please see the differences from Minakshi Pillai’s edits [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vellalar&action=history here]. He has already been warned for vandalizing the Vanniyar article, and now he is vandalizing the Vellalar article and related articles as well. He has not attempted to reach any consensus. His edits are not even constructive. He is clearly not here to build an encyclopedia. |

"Ex-hill tribes who had entered the Chola army also joined agrarian society by forming new jatis and gaining land for themselves. In contrast, Brahmanas and Vellalas, who had formed the '''landowning''' privileged class in '''traditional society''', began to decline. In conjunction with this social upheaval, new religious ideas and beliefs were born. I have tried to clarify these changes that occurred during the transition from ancient to medieval society." |

"'''In the early period''', Brahmanas and Vellalas comprised the two important '''landholding''' communities, though the Brahmanas were numerically weaker." |
