Pillay or
Pillaimar is an upper caste title used by land-owning castes of Tamil- and
Malayalam-speaking people of India.
Pillai, meaning Prince,is a title of nobility which
can either refer to a ruling chief, members of the nobility, or junior princes
of the royal family historically ranked immediately below the king.
From the early modern period, the title also
came to be bestowed on Savarna subjects by the ruling families of Kerala for
services military or political, most of whom were of Nair origin.
Originally a title meaning "royal
child", it came to be given to administrators of a king or a temple, often
holding large estates on behalf of the latter.
The Pillais of Kerala had authority over their
own regions and right of judgment in provincial disputes, as delegated by the
king.
They collected fines and taxes and in return
received a share of the income they collected. In wartime they led the king's
armies.
Some desoms were grouped together under a Prince
into larger units that represented earlier independent kingdoms.
Many Pillais originally functioned essentially as
royal governors.
