Kallar community

The Kallar community is an Indigenous Tamil group primarily found in Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. Traditionally, they have been engaged in agriculture, hunting, and allied activities. Historically, they have faced social discrimination but are now recognized as an important part of the region’s diverse cultural fabric. The community has its own customs, rituals, and social structures, contributing to the local heritage. Today, many Kallars are involved in various professions, and they continue to preserve their cultural identity while participating actively in modern society.
