Ploughmen were known as Uzhavar in Tamil. There existed a classification among the people in both the northern parts and Southern parts of India. People are usually classified into 3 classes. In this classification, there will be large landowners, landless laborers, and ordinary plowmen and slaves. In the southern part, large landowners were known as Vellalar. Ordinary ploughmen were known as Uzhavar. Kadaisiyar and Adimai were the names used to refer to landless laborers, including slaves. In this Uzhavar or ploughman were those who ploughed the land. They used ploughs pulled by horses or oxen to do this job. Hence Uzhavar is the correct answer.
