Is it true that only Tamil Brahmins are the only smart and intelligent people of TN?

 1.We cannot undermine the contribution of Tamil Brahmins to TN - Seshasayee Brother in laws, TVS Iyengar, S Ananthakrishnan, Kasturi & Sons (Hindu), T T Krishnamachari (TTK), Sankaralinga Iyer (Sanmar), Narayanasamy Srinivasan(India Cements), N S Sethuraman, V Srinivasan, K V Gopalakrishnan, R Tyagarajan (Shri Ram Chits).

2.But if you see outside -

it is much bigger, bigger than what we imagine!

It is very much bigger than Brahmins !! (Yes. Iyers and Iyengars are in less numbers in TN population and their contribution is much bigger than their percentage)

There are Nattukottai Chettiars who controlled a quarter of Burma over 24 Lakh hectares of farm land. Still own many world class Businnesses in TN. You name it any Business - MAC, Murugappa, Karimuttu Thyagaraya Group currently has. The feat of conquering South East Asia between 1850 till 1930, has not done by any community in India, forget about Tamil Nadu.

Then Kammavar Naidus who made Coimbatore “Manchester of the South; Light Engineering Powerhouse of India” —-and also taught their “Engineering ethos and Fondaries, Paultry, Medical devices….” and more importantantly known for their Philanthrophy. Yes, Aravind Eye Hospital can also be included, though South of Madurai. So as Appasamy Associates.

Gounders are smart in making Tirupur - a Banian Capital of India. In addition invested in Sugar, Textile, Transports.

Also notable emergence of Nadars in Virudhunagar- Sivakasi - Sattur - Kovilpatti belt in Match Boxes, Crackers, Pen Nips, Printing, Newspapers, Branded edibles and wait ….in IT also…HCL.

We can go on adding endless communities for the TN smart people.

The list is much bigger than Brahmins !!
