POV-section - This Section trying to portray some group of people as superior and some group of people as inferior based on their birth. This should be avoided.
Castes found in Tamil Nadu in general and Ramanathapuram district in particular may broadly be grouped into three categories: Brahmins, non-Brahmins and the Scheduled Castes. While the Brahmins are considered the highest in the caste hierarchy, the non-Brahmin castes are considered the middle level castes. 
The more visible middle level castes include the land owning castes such as Vellalar, Ahamudayar (Servai), Maravar (Thevar), Kallar, Konar (Yadavar) and the Telegu speaking Naidus; trading castes such as Chettiyar, artisan castes like Kusavar or Kuyavan (Potter), Kotthan (mason), Thachan (carpenter), Kollan (blacksmith), Thattans or Nahai Aasari (goldsmith); and the servicing castes such as Ambattan (barbers) and Vannan (washermen). The more visible castes among the Scheduled Castes in Ramanathapuram district are the Mallars, Parayars and Chakkiliyars.

thread_title:  Konars in Education 

message: The following is from Chapter IV of the book "The Tamils Eighteen Hundred Years ago" written by V.Kanakasabhai
 
The Ayar or the Cowherd race was distinct from the other races such as Villavar & Meenavar (the ancient tribes of Tamilakam), Nagas and Kosar. Their name Ayar is derived from the Dravidian word A meaning a cow. They were known as Abhiras in Puranic history. In northern India they are still called Ahirs. In the Tamil land they were also called the Pothuvar or Commons (from the tamil word Pothu meaning Common) apparently because they professed friendship to the Nagas and the Tamils alike. Originally they appear to have had their own petty Kings, in the Chola country, but Karikal-Chola is said to have exterminated their line of Kings (Ref: Pattinap-palai 1. 281)
The Ayar in the Pandyan dominion had a tradition that they came into the Tamil land, along with the founder of Pandyan dynasty, who established the Pandyan kingdom and consider themselves as Tamils and not Aryas although Pandyas claim descent from the Pandus - (Ref: Kalitthokai, stanza 104, II 4 to 6)
Their favorite deity was however their national hero Krishna whose liaison with shepherd girls and feats celebrated in the Mahabharata formed the theme of their festive songs. 
They had a peculiar custom among them of selecting husbands for their girls from the victors of a bull-fight.(Ref: Kalitthokai stanzas 101 and 11)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.245.16.100 (talk) 14:28, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Konars in the Tamil Society 1800 years ago 

message: The Yadavas of Tamil Nadu were originally referred as ‘Ayars’ in Tamil literature but locally called as ‘Idayans’. Even in the government records the community name was referred as ‘Idayans(Konar). Up to the Census 1921, the community name was noted as ‘Idayan’. The Tamil speaking Yadavas were referred as Idayans and the Telugu speaking Yadavas were referred as ‘Gollas’ and as Vaduga Aayars. The name of the community was notified as ‘Yadavas’ in government records as per the Government of Madras G.O.No.5240 Law (General) dt.13 December 1930. In the G. O. it was said that the term ‘Yadava’ shall in future be adopted in place of Golla, Idayan, Gola, Gopi or Goda in all official announcement. Accordingly in the Census 1931 the name of the community was noted as Yadava instead of Idayan. This is the last caste wise census enumerated.
According to Indian mythology, the Konar are descendants of the lord Kannan.
