Nadar Religion is a faith primarily practiced by the Nadar community in India, particularly in the state of Tamil Nadu. It emerged in the 19th century as a reform movement aimed at uplifting the social status of the Nadar people, who were traditionally involved in agriculture and toddy tapping. The movement sought to promote education, social equality, and a sense of identity among its followers. The Nadar Religion emphasizes the importance of community and social justice, advocating for the rights of marginalized groups. It incorporates elements of Hinduism while also promoting a distinct identity. Key figures in this movement include Veeramamunivar, who played a significant role in its development and philosophy.
