Talk:Anjuvannam

Is Anjuvannan a synonym for Anjuvannam? If so, should there be a redirect from Anjuvannam to this article?

Is Anjuvannam just another name for the Cochin Jews? If not, what's the relationship?

The reason I tagged the article for a cleanup is that it's unclear what the article is about. And the section "Copper plate given to Anjuvannam" may be notable but doesn't seem to merit being the central piece; shouldn't that be a description of the history or culture?

Anjuvannam
Anju-varnam means fifth caste in malayalam. Anju vannan (strictly speaking) denotes a masculine gender person of Anjuvannam. In effect, however one may consider them to be synonyms.

You have a point here. This is indeed an archaic expression for the Cochin Jews.( Although the Christians and Muslims of Cochin did not form a part of the 4 caste Hindu system, they were referred to specifically as Mappilla or by their religious identity), and hence the term Anjuvannan efffectively meant the Cochin Jews of yore.

What ? Jews are principal caste ?
Jews are Children of Israel they are not a caste.

Jews are Children of Yisrael or House of Judah.

Jews are not xtians.

Jews practice Judaism the religion of the Torah the revelation at Mount Sinai.

Jews have travelled and stayed in many other parts of the world, They have been subjected to abuse an ill treatment in many countries. Xtains and Muslims have  the sins on their history and heritage for having reduce jews to noting in some countries.

Am example would be, the case of Benjamin Meyuhasheem who is of the Anjurvarnam cochini origin also found in Malaysia .Two jewish families the Rabban and the Meyuhasheem migrated to Malaya from Kerala.There are also know as Jews of Seremban, who received their early education in catholic  missionary schools,( St Pauls Instituitions ) they had businesses and were land owners.The Seremban Jews were abused and reduced by  anti-zionist malaysian muslim governmental pressures. Many jews left/migrated Malaysia. Benjamin Meyuhasheem was orphaned at a young age and  left behind and today Mr Benjamin has escaped to Singapore. These infromation is intended to record the connection of  Cochini- Malabari Jews of Kerala the tribe of Judah that is traced to Malaysia.These infromation is not intended to put a pin on your anti-semetic heart. And stop bashing Benjamin Meyuhasheem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.20.172.165 (talk) 09:49, 25 April 2011 (UTC) The Joseph Rabban and Joseph Azar family connections could be traced up to Seremban Town in Malaysia. There were many marriages among the Jews in Seremban.The Meyuhasheem, Rabbans married to Eliyahu of Malaya and there were only 12 families of Jews. Name like Joseph Rabban, Joseph Azar, Benjamin Meyuhasheem,Mannaseh,Mannaseh Meyer,Ezra, Cohen ,these names forgotten by social engineering policies. The last post of jews happens to be the House of Eliyahu of Malaya, two other family of jews were of intermarrige beteween the Naboothri Brahmins of Kerala and Cochini Jews,the migratory birds of the House of Judah.Benjamin Meyuhasheem lives as the Malaysian indian ( Ramalingam / Benjamin Meyuhasheem ) currently believed to have moved to Singapore.He is of the ancestory and origins of the Anjuvarnam Jew of Kerala. In Malaysia many anti Jewish policies promoted  by placing social stigma by name calling. YEHUD,YEHUDA,YEHUDI,HURBERT,MAPPILAI ,Christ Killer, The Cursed One. The Last living Cursed One are character assassinations a leagacy of nicks names placed on Ramalingam/Benjamin Meyuhasheem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.10.66.244 (talk) 12:47, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
