Tamil land was populated by innumerable ethnic tribes since the beginning of history. The tribes fought with each other, created an apocalypse and emerged as kingdoms. Then they became empires. Even when the three empires - Cheras, Cholas and Pandiyas - were formed, some ethnic tribes continued to exist. One of them - the Velirs, in the Western Ghats (from Kumari to Konganam) - fiercely guarded their identity and autonomy. There was a point when Tamil literature had references to both, emperors and the leaders of the Velir tribe, putting them on an equal standing. But this came to an end soon. The emperors vanquished the Velirs... Pari stands as the tallest example of this battle and conflict of identities between the ethnic Velirs and the feudal empires. He stands as the symbol of the final battle between two civilisations. His life speaks to the brightest part of history.
Vel paari was of a dynasty of Yadu Velir kings who ruled Parambu nadu and surrounding regions in ancient Tamilakkam towards the end of the Sangam era. The name is often used to describe the most famous amongst them, who was the patron and friend of poet Kapilar and is extolled for his benevolence, patronage of art and literature. He is remembered as one of the Kadai ezhu vallal (literally meaning, the last seven great patrons) in Tamil literature #AnandaVikatan #Velpari
