Detailed Solution

Saliyar weaving community is also called Kaikolar. Sale, Chaliyan, Sali, and Saliyar are among the Indian castes. They predominantly reside in the states of Tamil Nadu, northern Kerala, and southern coastal Karnataka. Their primary source of income is weaving. The 18 Malay castes that comprised the Nairs, or Malayali caste structure, included Saliyas. Saliya men used to be active Nair Padas members, participating in battles and combat. In South Malabar, even their last name was changed to Nair. In the past, a person was known as a "kaikolar." "The prefix"-ar" designates the word "person." " A slang term for males with strong arms is "kaikolar." Sengunthar, the community's name, reflects its ties to Lord Murugan and translates to "red spear people."
