Soon they called the others 'Commoners'. Likewise, the Brahmins took over the already existing Tamil words like 'Andhanar', 'Iyer', etc., to identify themselves. Even in the era of Tiruvalluvar the word 'Andhanar' denoted only the virtuous saints and Siththars and not the 'Brahmins'. Subverting the history is the pastime of the Brahmins but, fortunately, there are adequate evidences, still available to call their bluff.<br /><br />Buddhist literature shows that Buddha called the brahmins as 'Babhan's.
