- The Tamilnadu State government has allowed the delinking of the Thuluva Vellalars community from Agamudayars in the list of Backward Classes (BCs).
- This marks the end of the 80-year-long “association” of the community with the Agamudayars, who are one of the three constituents of ‘Mukkalothars’, the other two being Kallars and Maravars.
- The First BC Commission, headed by veteran civil servant A.N. Sattanathan, was functioned during November 1969-70.
- This Commission, used the term ‘Agamudayan’, had received representations that “like the Kallars, Agamudayans also migrated from the southern districts but there is no relation between them and the Agamudayan Mudaliar and the Thuluva Vellalars of Madras.
- The Second BC panel (1982-85) was headed by J. A. Ambasankar.
- The Second Commission had carried out a caste survey, stated that no separate count of the Thuluva Vellalars was possible, going by the way they had identified themselves.
