Our journey began with a desire to dispel common misconceptions surrounding the Nadar community by offering well-researched, evidence-based articles grounded in anthropological studies. For the last few decades, Tamil epigraphers, archaeologists, and historians have worked to uncover documents and artifacts—such as palm-leaf manuscripts, copper plates, and stone inscriptions—that shed light on the Sanrors, the forebears of the contemporary Nadar community, and their significant role in the Tamil realm.

These findings have unraveled centuries-old narratives and added new depth to the understanding of Tamil Nadu’s history. Through this website, we aim to share these insights with a broader audience. By exploring the Sanror clan's history, we want to foster recognition of their legacy and contribute to a well-informed understanding of the Nadar community’s history.

We invite you to explore, learn, and engage with the history and findings presented here. Whether you’re a historian, researcher, or simply someone curious about the past, we believe you’ll find valuable knowledge that adds new dimensions to Tamil history.
