  Fridge,
  
  You have to give some context. Whatever it is, chances are, you are not saying it right.

  Fridge,
  
  The native language of Mandya is Kannada, but Tamilians also live there like they do all over India. About the vegetarian question, no part of India is purely vegetarian :) In any city, you will find vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Also, some people who were vegetarians 200 years ago might be non-vegetarians today or vice versa it all depends on the level of sanskritization within the caste to which they belong. For e.g., there are saiva mudaliars and asaiva mudaliars :) Hope this helps.

  There is a Tamil caste called Mandradiar which could get shortened to Mandiar or Mundiar in SA
