Dheevara is a grouping of fishing castes from the Kerala state of South India.
The word Dheevara is of Sanskrit origin, and has been used to describe fishermen in Gautama Dharmasutra and Mahabharata.[1] The Dheevara community was formed by Arayan, Valan and other castes to lobby for the fishers' rights, and to seek caste-based reservations in government jobs.[2] The members of the community formed the Dheevara Mahasabha ("Dheevara Great Assembly"), which is a politically powerful organization. Guru VedaVyasa was born into the Koli -sakya gotra of suryawanshi kshatriya known as Aryans or arayar at present time.[3]
