WOMEN AND CASTE DISCRIMINATION: The Namboothiri-Dominated Period of Kerala Culture and Society The Oppression of ... Namboothiris displayed the very same cruelty when they subjugated their own women and reduced them to being a Saathanam, which means an inanimate object or thing. Namboothiri men were allowed to take many wives, leaving many women to the sorrow of sharing in grief her undivided devotion to the husband, for women must be strictly monogamous. The Namboothiris, whose benumbed mind lost the capacity to understand the extreme level of sexual deprivation and depth of suffering therein of the Antharjanam, were able to anticipate the tendencies of their women to be sexually permissive in the artificial, inhuman environment of the illams unless they were strictly controlled. www.hrsolidarity.net /mainfile.php/2002vol12no03/2226   (3156 words)

Namboothiri The Namboothiris (Malayalam :നമ്പൂതിരി)are the Brahmins of Kerala, thought to be the most orthodox brahmins in India.

WOMEN AND CASTE DISCRIMINATION: The Namboothiri-Dominated Period of Kerala Culture and Society: The Oppression of Women ... As noted in Part 1 of this article, the Namboothiris strictly forced their women to observe monogamy, so much so that they were made to remain widows for life, and the punishments for unfaithfulness, as well as violating virginity, were unimaginably cruel and inhuman. We have seen that the Namboothiris and Nairs were forbidden from doing manual labour, and consequently, the economy was poor and was sustained by the limited toil of the lower caste. Namboothiri insensitivity to women expressed through veli and sambatham and other numerous restrictions, including smarthavicharam, is perhaps the worst in human history. www.hrsolidarity.net /mainfile.php/2002vol12no05/2235   (2199 words)

info: Namboothiri   (Site not responding.

The Namboothiri women are called Antherjanam, the literal meaning being 'people inside the house.' The travel of Namboothiri girls were limited to the temples or to the house of their immediate relatives, but that too had to be accompanied by a maid servant. Several Namboothiris thus married girls from royal families as well as Nayar, Warrier, and Pisharoti girls and the children from such marriage alliances belonged to the matrilineal (Marumakkathaayam) lineage of their mothers. www.napoli-pizza.net /Namboothiri.html   (5303 words)
