Are nairs of kerala state hindus as the festival celebrated by nairs are not the one celebrated by hindus outside kerala?
Nairs of Kerala are Hindus. Most of the festivals in Kerala are not for Nairs alone. Festivals like Onam, Vishu etc. are celebrated by all Hindus of Kerala. Hindus outside Kerala have their own festivals. Eg. 'Holi' is not celebrated in Kerala. Essentially the difference is that nairs are a Dravidian tribe and Kerala soceity at large is of Dravidian origin like the majority of people in the four states of southern India. Some of the Tamil festivals like Thypooyam, Pongal etc are also Hindu festivals but not celeberated in northern parts of India. Nairs are in the forefront of organizing, celeberating most of the festivals and are great exponents of classical art forms, music and other cultural activities in Kerala.

Nair was considered to be a Brahmin caste but to Parshuram they were considered to be kshatriya. However, they do not belong to any Caste system as we know in Aryanism. Nairs are a dravidian tribe who got aryanised to a certain extent with advent of Brahmins in Kerala. Considering their stature, martial history and nobility the caste division of khastriya would be the most appropriate that they will fit in to.
