Wasn't Verappan and Velupillai prabhakaran too a Vanniyar —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.135.215 (talk) 21:44, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I want to see one clear line that "Vanniyar or some vanniyar clan were Cheras, later cholas, Pallavas". No bs like "they are said to be", "they claim to be", or some agnikula kshatriya origin bs from mythology that was cooked recently. thank you. Sasisekar (talk) 05:38, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Summa enna later chola, pallava, later pallava, late but not so late rather more towards the middle pallava. inga enna yelama vidaraanga? if later pallava came to power by invoking their pallava ancenstor then they are not different from the original pallava.
