Misreading Noburu Karashima I ve just removed some stuff that seemed to misrepresent what Noburu Karashima says The quoted material about inscriptions did not refer to Vanniyar and the final quote is skewed For example see here here and other quotations from Karashima himself such as They seem to be closely related to the Palli Vanniya or Agambadiyar castes I m not quite sure how to resolve this but the statement as it was is not acceptable
