==Etymology==
There are number of derivations for the title. One theory derives it from the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] word ''Kaamindan'', meaning "noble protector of the country", later modified as ''Kavundan'' or Gounder.<ref name="Madhavan">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/fline/fl2516/stories/20080815251611400.htm|title=Steeped in history|last=Madhvan|first=Karthik|date=2 August 2008|work=Frontline|publisher=The Hindu Group|access-date=22 January 2011|location=Chennai, India |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203050939/http://www.hindu.com/fline/fl2516/stories/20080815251611400.htm|archive-date=3 December 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==History==
During the [[British Raj]] era, some Gounders migrated to [[British Malaya|Malaya]]n rubber plantations to work in the [[kangani system]].<ref>{{cite book |first=Raj Sekhar |last=Basu |title=Nandanar's Children: The Paraiyans' Tryst with Destiny, Tamil Nadu 1850 - 1956 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4NeGAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA137 |year=2011 |publisher=SAGE |isbn=978-81-321-0679-1 |page=137}}</ref>
