Global Nair Sewa Samaj

The Global Nair Sewa Samaj (Global NSS) is an umbrella organisation created for the upliftment, networking and welfare of the Nair community in India and around the world…

VISION

We emphasise to empower the Nair community to thrive in every aspect of life as a vibrant and respected and engaging part of a progressive society.

MISSION

Global NSS is committed to promote the social, economic, educational, and cultural well-being of the Nair community in particular and society in general through initiatives on advocacy.

ROOTS AND INSPIRATION

Christopher Fuller, an anthropologist, has said that it is likely that the first reference to the Nair community was made by Pliny the Elder in his Natural History, dating from 77 AD. That work describes what is probably the Malabar coast area wherein could be found the “Nareae, who are shut in by the Capitalis range, the highest of all the mountains in India”. Fuller believes it probable that the Nareae referred to the Nairs and the Capitalis range is the Western Ghats.

TRADE WITH ROMANS

There are large gaps in the known early history of the Kerala region, which in the 1st-century AD is thought to have been governed by the Chera dynasty and which by the late 3rd-century AD had broken up, possibly as a consequence of a decline in trade with the Romans.
