Dear Vivekanand, thanks for your timely comment. I agree with you. Do develop this into a debate.

your article is brilliant,simply brilliant. i would like to add some of my findings.
it was the prominent among the budhist laity who were the first converts to christianity and probably they were descendants of the early north indian settlers
identification of nairs as a caste from day one appears wrong. essentially nairs/nayakars were formed/assembled as an organised army/chaver pada (as compared to the chekavar/chova militia) during the long years of war by the later cheras against the brutal rulers/conquerors of the second chola dynasty. the said organized (comparatively,
considering that it was very early days) army comprised of willing (to die) men of all castes. their job profile of fighting against a formidable enemy resulting in near sure death precluded the possibility having a proper/attached family.
secondly the decline of budhism had commenced prior to shankara. debauchery and mercantile activities thrived in their monastries. shankara’s advaitic arguments acted as the last nail. however the priestly class like the present day reservation system votaries used his pure bhakti based vedantic/spiritual communism to further the cause of their progeny.
looking forward for your opinion
