goundamani sir,
you have made a sweeping assertion,that 15% of our population eats dead cows,cleans toilets and washes mensus clothes of upper caste women.

Though this was( is) done(still done) by some groups,it was(is) not even remotely close to 15%.something near 1% might be the correct figure.night soil cleaning was a practice unknown before the muslim and british period.

In Tamilnadu,pallans had serious debilities,some social but more due to the fact they were agricultural landless labourers.

I oppose discrimination on grounds of birth,but economic differentiation seems to the main reason for emergence of pallar castes.
