Fwd: Roots to ancient civilisation - particularly aravattokkalu or 60 households
Srini Manipal
Dear all,
As told in Shastras, all our parampara cites direct connection through sages and divinities to God; irrespective of the sampradaya we belong i.e., maybe we follow Shankara, Ramanuja, Madhva and many others.
It is also told that the people of ancient Indian civilization migrated to other parts of the country till south from Aryavarta desha (mainly Sindhu-Sarasvati to west and north west, Himalayas to north and east, gangetic plains in middle, and up to Vindhya to south), where once Indian civilization flourished during the times of Ramayana and Mahabharata; then slowly moved towards south and also across the world later, due to invasions as well as seeking prospects.
It is also debated that this Aryavarta desha or phrases like aryairapi sevitam has been source points for the western notion of Aryans, through which the recent discussions have digressed the history/story of civilisations; and this digression also is ‘substantiated’ with the scientific ideas like big bang, earth and human evolution and continental drift. Now, the ideas like Indo-Aryan, Indo-European, Aryan-Dravidian have been inherited into the curricula of schools even without much of critical analysis from different perspectives.
I am in (re)search of a historical trace of Indian society with particular reference to my community called Tamil-Kannada (cross-cultural and cross-lingual dialect) Madhva Aravattokkalu (60 household) Brahmanas. Prof N S Rajapurohit had written an article on Aravattokkalu Brahamanaru in Kannada in 1935 that was published by then paper Jaya Karnataka, which I came to know through www.kanaja.in site of Govt of Karnataka.
My questions are these:
What is Aravattu (sixty) Okkalu (households) Brahmanaru?
Where are they from?
How, when and why they migrated to where?
How they got connected to Madhva sampradaya?
How they built this Tamil-Kannada that is well spread across the globe within the community as mother tongue?
Hope some might have interesting information about this directly or indirectly and may like to share with me at the earliest.
The due credits to the information source will be mentioned in the references and the copy will be shared with them only.
Thank you in advance,
Srini

Sir
It's mostly toughest job to trace roots of a particular tribe or caste.. as per my limited knowledge I came to know 100plus sub branches of Brahmin only in Gujarat..so I think this group and other sources should be united to a lengthful study of each and every sub branch of Brahmin with their blood group.d.n.a.customs.system of samskaras. etc by nation wide. collected data to be studied by experts. DNA wise matching of blood with area.customs and caste can bring more accurate findings.sorry seniors if you think we are diverted..
Regards.
