Inter-Caste Struggle in Bama’s Vanmam

The present research paper focuses on cold war between the Pallars and the Parayars, and there were occasional reports of strifes between them. The Pallars regretted having cooperated with the Parayars for erecting the statue. The Pallars got together and erected a flagpole near the statue of Ambedkar simply to assert their status against the status of the Parayars. Also the monetary contribution made by the Pallars for erecting the status was taken back from the Parayars. The situation turned tense when Sesurathnam of the Parayar community cleared the wires of the flagpole, which were disturbing the statue. The fellow was butchered to death in broad daylight by a gang of Pallars. It was a fateful day in the history of Kandampatti village. The force to take revenge was running high amidst the Parayar youngsters.
