Historical references
The Nairas were a prominent caste in ancient India, particularly in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. They were known for their martial skills and were traditionally the armor-bearers, bodyguards, and servants to the ruling classes. The Nairas also played an important role in the administration of the kingdoms they served.
Ancient India (circa 300 BC to 1500 AD)
The name 'Nair' is believed to have originated from the Sanskrit word 'Nair' meaning 'without' and 'Rajya' meaning 'kingdom'. This suggests that the Nairas were a community of people who were not ruled by a king or a monarch, but instead lived as free and independent communities in ancient India.
