Castes & Tribes of South India Edgar Thurston & K.Rengachari VII Reprint 1993 Asian Educational Society,N.Delhi pages 361-389 The word “Vellalan” is derived from “vellalnmai” (vellam=water, anmai = management) meaning cultivation, tillage

Edgar Thursten: 

Edgar Thursten --- the vellalas by the effect of their ploughing maintained the prayers of the Brahmins, the strength of the King, the profit of merchants, the welfare of all charity, donation, the enjoyment of domestic life and connubial happiness, homage to the gods…. Things of good report or integrity ,the good order of the caste and the skill of all these things came to pass by the merit of the Vellalan plough. So there is a saying-”Agriculture is no agriculture unless it is performed by the Vellalas” --------Castes & Tribes of South India(1907)

“Tamil Sudras” according to Dictionaraies of Prof. Gupthan Nair & ? C.Madvan Pillai (DC.Books) “…..it is impossible to imagine that the Vellalas…. should have had to render services to the three higher classes, for the very idea of service is … revolting to the Vellalas whose profession teaches him perfect independence… Hence a Vellala cannot be the sudra or servile class.” -------Thurston (1909) p36
