Until the early 20th century, Nambiars in [[North Malabar]] believed that they were superior to their counterparts in [[South Malabar]]. In earlier days, Nambiar women, like most women of Nair clans of north Malabar, would not marry Nair men of South Malabar. <ref>{{cite book |first=Eric J. |last=Miller |author-link=Eric J.
