The article on the whole includes a lot of original research and peacock terms pushing a certain POV. Given that almost every paragraph within the article is like that, I don't think it's necessary to provide examples. Tags can be removed once all statements are sourced and the language neutralized. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  06:26, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Maravar (Tamil: மறவர்) are one of the oldest social groups to be mentioned by the Sangam Tamil literature. This indicates an association with the Tamil land which is at least 2,000 years old. The writers of the Sangam Age place them in rural settlements withdrawn from cities. Maravar, in Tamil, means a warrior. Maravars are the courageous breed and were involved in the major wars that Tamilnadu witnessed.

Other historians postulate that Maravar is derived from Tamil language term Marutham (called as Thinnai). They originally lived in (See Ancient Tamil country). The name of the city Madurai is also postulated to be derived from Maruthai and honorific title of local Pandya kings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shakthith398 (talk • contribs) 08:54, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
