  Shesh,
  I think that you are from South Africa.
  Gounder is a caste of Kongu Nadu(Present Koyamutthoor, Erode district of Tamil Nadu and part of Mysore district of Karnataka.
  Pathar are usually making Gold ornaments. Naicker are Naidus settled in Tamil Nadu.
  
  I have a question about SA Tamils.
  Why didn't any Tamil become a Cricketer or any other sportsman in SA?

  Nattukottai Chettairs are the most stinkiest I ever seen. I hate them like anything. They are the real one hell of a tribes from South India. Such a backward community with more dough. People are too short minded in this community. If anyone would like to discuss please welcome.
  
  (not to mention myself I am a chettiar- thank got not Nattukottai. we are civilized)

  Naicker are descendants of Nayaka-s the rulers of the Vijayanagar Empire.

  Govender,Pather,Naicker
  
  
  Govender - Goundar (In SA restricted to Tamil Vanniar Immigrants)
  
  Pather - Makes of jewels
  
  Naicker - in SA its restricted to Tamil vanniar immigrants
  
  Goundar and naicker in Tamil Nadu are used by many castes but in South Africa these are primarily used by Vanniar.

  Hi,
  In Unicode system, Tamil has been allocated only 128 character positions. Unicode system is using iscii ( Central goverment's Indian lanaguge encoding standard). iscii has lot of bugs and also not-efficient for tamil (approxmately 3-times slower). please read below the articles and sign the petition. Tamil has already got lot of efficient encoding sytesm, which are already in use. Unicode is an international standard, So an efficient encoding system has to be used for tamil. So we have to raise our voice to get unicode to be re-constructed for tamil (Which is highly feasible) ...
  And don't forget, Pass it on ....
  In Tamil : http://www.kanithamizh.org/unicode-il-tamil.htm
  In English: http://www.tamil.net/people/sivaraj/tamil_unicode.html
  IMPROTANT :
  SIGN THE PETITION

  Vanniyans always copied their master's caste names with them. Slave culture.
  
  Vanniyans were agri slaves for Vellalas and other Agri high castes.
  
  Goundas came from Karnataka and they had no Tamil origin.
  
  They were farmers under the Kerala kings.

  All present backward Indian Tamilians are lavde ka balls. Srilankan Tamils are most forward and intelligent.
