  Konars were the rulers of several parts of
  TamilNadu in the early periods of History,
  Also known as Aayers, they are called as
  Ahirs in Punjab, As far as I know they can
  never be dalits or sudras. They have achieved
  a lot according to Silapathigaram, KOvalar,
  vaazhghai oru kodum padillai, Avayyar has also
  praised them. Some classify them as Kovaisyar
  and I am doing a research on them as per Tamil
  literature records, May be I may help in a year or
  two with good details on that particular community
  in which Lord Kannapiran was born. By the way,
  what makes you consider them Dalits? Have you not
  seen a pure yadava in the villages>Regards
