The word savalakaran denotes a community in Tamilnadu and Kerala.

I was informed by elders that the word Savalakaran is taken from the word Savalam which means a sword. In those days people who were assisting the king were holding

a sword in their hand. Some people say that they were leading a battalion who are called

as padaiatchi. Or servai. Therefore the word servai only denote a title given to the work done by the people and does not belong to the community. When the people were doing mainly agriculture they were called as vellalar so the name Savalakula vellala samugam is commonly known in Tamilnadu

The people in Kuniamuthur are doing mainly agriculture whereas the

People in kurichi village are employed in railways. In due course ,people have migrated to Tirupur for work, there mainly engaged in hosiery and cloth field as
