Contrary to the wrongly held belief, Nambidis are not a part of the Pushpaka Brahmins. No Nambidis were ever associated with the Pushpaka Samajam either. According to folklores,Namidis were believed to have disintegrated themselves from the mainstream Namboothiri community over an ideological conflict of having resorted to violence.Namboothiris from eight illams are believed to have assumed the role of warriors in order to uphold the safety of their kingdom.Later,however,when they were called to be lauded for their brave efforts, they are believed to have renounced  their status as of  Namboothiris.They refrained from entering the Shree Kovilakakkam and instead said they would remain confined till the step(Padi in Malayalam).Nom Padi later was distorted to be called as Nambidi.Since assuming the status of a warrior and violence was not the Dharma of a Brahmin, they are believed to have taken this stance.
