The Sudarmans are described, in the Madras Census Report, 1901, as "cultivators chiefly found in the districts of Tanjore and Trichinopoly. They are imitating the Brahmans and Vellalas in their social customs, and some of them have left off eating meat, with the idea of raising themselves in general estimation; but they nevertheless eat in the houses of Kallans and Idaiyans. Their title is Muppan." Some Sudarmans, I am told, have become Agamudaiyans. Uddari.--A synonym for the village Taliyari. Uddu (Phaseolus Mungo).--An exogamous sept of Kappiliyan.
