Volume : II, Issue : VIII, September - 2012 Caste System And Caste Practices In Tamil Country T.Gnanavel and L .Selvamuthu Kumarasami DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Social life with its religious practices, caste traditions and conventional
distinctions continued without any remarkable change throughout the Vijayanagar Rule.
Linguistic traditions, pride, prejudice and geographical barriers led to decentralization
and there was a struggle for supremacy. The Tamil Society managed to retain many of its
traditional cultural traits fairly intact. Its communal ramification and the inter
communal dissensions not infrequently descending to the level of violent feuds reached
the end of doctrinal developments in religion and philosophy. Changes occurred in the
composition of Tamil society during the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries partly due to the
influx of various people and to some extent the European merchant settlements on the
