What do you want to know? They claim to be the descendants of the old Pandyan dynasty. I have heard that many of them are 'nastihar' or atheist but I have seen nothing to prove this.
If I am most mistaken they are classified as 'MBC' most backward caste in TN. They have gained a bit of political clout in the last few decades. I'm sorry I couldn't find a resource similar to nadar.org to answer your question.

the agamudiyars, th kallars and the maravars are there closely allied dravidan tribes , probably the first who penetrated to the south of the peninsular india. they are even now little affected by brahminical influence . together they were come to over 13 lakhs. in former days they were a fierce and turbulant race , famous for their military powers : now they are much the same as other cultivators (ryots) , though perhaps somewhat more bold and lawless.

NADARS ARE GREAT

Netaji was exceptional. In our village one vellalar, one ambalakarar were INA cadres.
But most of the time thevar will accept anybody as leader other than own Tamil. That's what happened in ADMK. For the power and money hungry Thevar's projected JJ for their cause.
Nadar are not great. They just a part and parcel of old chanar.
I heard from some one as this.
maadu thirudiya kallan, koli piditha maravan, aadu meitha thevan
mella mella kappalottia thamilananaar
We need unity. So think about Emperor Rajaraja Cholan, Kappalottia Thamilan, Bharathi, Ilayaraja etc who put crown on our mother Tamil.
Don't start forums on castes.

Caste divide among tamils made tamils to be a low class citizen in their own land. With no power and doing padha pooja to non tamils for their survival.
Be proud to call yourself a tamil and take pride in it. Love fellow tamil.
