Thevar and Gounder are distinct caste groups primarily found in Tamil Nadu, India. Thevar typically refers to a group of backward castes, while Gounder is associated with the agricultural community, often considered a forward caste. Although both groups may share similar socio-economic contexts, they are not the same and have different cultural identities and social standings.
