 Vadakalai Vs Thenkalai
In Srivaishnava school itself, two branches of thought had emerged between the time of Sri Ramanuja and that of Sri Vedanta Desika whose contemporary was Pillai Lokacharya.
They are called Vadakalai (Northern) and Tenkalai (Southern) though in reality there is NO GEOGRAPHICAL POLARIZATION to justify their nomenclature.
This distinction has, in fact, no meaning since both in temple worship and in the hearths and homes the two streams have been so integrated and observed by both the branches.

 Tenkalai
Both Thenkalai and Vadakalai are predominantly from the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu and they both share the same philosophy of Sri Vaishnavism.
The main views of Thenkalais that are not in line with Vadakalais are:
Thenkalais emphasize the greatness and overwhelming grace of the Lord to "save His own", and therefore speak more of the attitude of surrender than the act of surrender to attain moksha.

 Visishtadvaita
While the Vadakalai follows this tradition, the Thenkalai is indifferent to the Sanskrit tradition.
One fundamental difference between the schools lies with regards to individual effort : the Vadakalai is of the view that just like a little monkey which clings to its mother, so should one take the effort of purifying oneself, renounce the world and cling to the Lord to receive divine grace.
Venkatanatha or Vedanta Desika, the greatest scholar of the Ramanuja school is the founder of the Vadakalai sect.

 LISTSERV 14.4
Lakshmi Srinivas wrote: "But the suggestion is quite plausible as vaDakalai's tend to be concentrated mostly in the Northern districts of Tamilnadu viz., North Arcot, South Arcot, Chingleput etc..
Also, a majority of vaDakalai families in Thanjavur and Pudukkottai districts seem to have migrated in the last few centuries from villages in the Kanchipuram area.
The same, I think, is true of vaDakalai Srivaishnava families in Karnataka and Andhra." Though this is generally true, one cannot be rigid on this because the Tengalais have several "tirumaligai-s" (apostolic seats) at KAnci and the VaDagalais have similarly some at Srirangam.

It is a matter of magnanimity on the part of both the Jeeyars in that while the fifth Jeeyar respected the Vadakalai tradition by having Bharasamarpana at the fourth Jeeyar's feet, the fourth Jeeyar directed that during the time of 5th Jeeyar's reign, both the Sampradayams would be respected.
The fifth Jeeyar made tours mostly in the north of India and when his period ended, he was laid to rest on the banks of the river Krishna.
It is again the magnanimity of this fifth Jeeyar that he in turn gave the Sanyasa Asrama to the famous Shashta Parankusa Swami of the Vadakalai sect.

 Re: Vadakalai and Tenkalai and other questions
So, when we speak of such things as Vadakalai or Tenkalai, we should note that these belong to SriVaishnavam as as a religion, and not to Iyengars as a caste.
The formal division of the tradition into the two schools of thought known as Vadakalai or Tenkalai seems to have a fairly recent history, but it seems that scholars cannot really agree as to specifically when references to SriVaishnavam as having two schools became established.
However the philosophical differences that have created this division can generally be traced back to two 14th century philosophers, Swamy Vedanta Desika (reputed to be the founder of the Vadakalai view), and Swamy Pillai Lokacharyar (who, along with Sri Manavalamamunigal, is reputed to be the founder of the Tenkalai view).

This topic is one of the fundamental differences of issues between Thenkalai and vadakalai schools of thoughts.
The Vadakalai school holds that a positive effort is necessary, on the partof the Jivatma to attain the Lord's grace.
The basis for this difference is the emphasis on the importance of individual soul by the Vadakalai Whereas Thenkalai gives importance to Emperuman and the soul is his property.

However, since Kandalur Swami happened to belong to Thankalai sect, the fourth Jeeyar asked him to have his Bharasamarpanam done then and there at his (4th Jeeyar's) feet and having done this, the Sanyasa Asrama was given to him.
It is a matter of magnanimity on the part of both the Jeeyars in that while the fifth Jeeyar respected the Vadakalai tradition by having Bharasamarpana at the fourth Jeeyar's feet, the fourth Jeeyar directed that during the time of 5th Jeeyar's reign, both the Sampradayams would be respected.

 Ramanuja [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Both schools claim to have the authority of Ramanuja in support of their views.
These traditions are the Northern or Vadakalai school, and the Southern or Tenkalai school.
Robert C. Lester, following the arguments of the Vadakalai Shri Vaishnava scholar, Agnihothram Ramanuja Thatachariar of Kumbakonam, argues that the doctrine of sharanagati or prapatti, at the heart of latter day Shri Vaishnava controversy, is only found in the Sharanagati Gadya and the Shriranga Gadya, and are absent from Ramanuja's main philosophic works.

 The Indus Script, Sanskrit or Dravidan (Tamil language's family)? - கருத்துக்களம்
Though it is still not clear if this language is tamil / sanskrit / some proto dravidian, we can safely assume that it is definitely not from europe as stated by Mueller's theory.
There are two categories in the so-called "brahmins" - "vadakalai", prefer to speak sanskrit and "thenkalai", prefer to speak tamil - Sanskrit and tamil being northern dialect and southern dialect.
Also look at the gradual merge in languages as we go from south to north.

 Vishnu
These same Hindus also believe that if they can hear the voice of God similar to how Judeo-Christian religions believe that God communicates, then it is not necessarily wrong to view a form of God as long as it is recognized that God is not limited to a particular form.
Nonetheless, there are many sects of Hindus, most notably Vadakalai Iyengars, who believe that Vishnu's authentic form is not beyond human comprehension, and that He is just as He is shown in most pictures.
However this is not understood by many Hindus, including the Vadakalai Iyengars.

 Iyengar
Today, Iyengars are taxonomised into two sub-sects of Thenkalai and Vadakalai based on the different stresses in religious literature.
The Thenkalai community ascribes more importance to the Tamil works while the Vadakalai community deems the Vedas, written in Sanskrit to be more important.
Iyengars follow Visishtadvaita, a system of thought embodied by the Vedanta, the philosophical portion of the Vedas, India's ancient scriptures.

 Thenkalai at AllExperts
Brahmins (as in Iyengars) who worshipped Lord Vishnu and migrated to these temple towns from the South of India were consequently called Thenkalai Iyengars or Iyengars from the South.
Thenkalai are generally lesser in number as compared to vadakalai.
Although the distinction is getting smaller, inter-kalai marriage is still out of question in certain orthodox families.

Vaishnavite Hindus also worship Vishnu in an abstract form (i.e., God with vague form) as a saligrama stone.
