The New Indian Express Kochi
|October 12, 2025
AMID calls for a separate caste identity for Thiyyas, a study by Kerala Institute for Research, Training and Development Studies of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (KIRTADS) has found that Thiyyas in Malabar and Ezhavas in South Kerala are two different communities culturally and anthropologically.
The institute undertook the study following a direction from the Kerala State Commission for Backward Classes. The Thiyya Kshema Sabha had approached the commission with the request that Thiyyas should be considered as a separate caste and should not be bracketed with Ezhavas and Billavas.
