PortugueseBritish admixture in Nairs  A Lie   There is no evidence for any admixture of European blood in Nairs during during medieval or modern times since it is clearly mentioned in genetic studies that present Indian population have evolved in Pleistocene and early Holocene era and not in historical periods   It is a lie that Nairs served in colonial armies as soldiers In fact Nairs actively shunned colonial armies and career of a mercenary was viewed as beneath dignity In many part of Malabar it was only after independence that an army career was viewed with respect Before independence only paupers and bankrupts joined army   I suggest reading Richard Burtons account of Kerala written in   he clearly state that it was quite difficult to catch glimpse of a Nair woman as they were kept out of sight of outsiders by their men and he also add that if someone tried to molest a Nair woman her kinsmen would swift to retaliate with knife Goa and Blue Mountains    Only European power to have decisively defeated Nairs are British Portuguese Dutch and French came nowhere near what British attained in closing days of th century and early years of th century More important  Portuguese were only a few thousands strong even at height of their power in th century So small a population could in no way have impacted a community like Nairs which even in premodern era was several hundreds of thousands strong  Nairs of Walluvanad are in no way special or inferior to rest of Nairs This is a recent invention that is influenced by the prevalent prejudiced notion of Walluvanad being the land where Malayalam language and culture is found in purest and best form
