Nairs are Kshatriyas of kerala, all the royal houses and 90% of militias were from them,they are the first native warriors who defeated a Europian naval force (kulachal war against Dutch East India Company) They fought against all the invaders like the Portugese who failed to get a hold in kerala and later they moved to Goa, English also got stiff opposition from nairs under the leadership of Pazhasi Raja, Veluthampi Dalava, Paliyathu Achan etc. Their main Kingdom of Travancore was never surrendered to any colonial power. The British through deceit tried to dispocess their powers by influencing the kings but was never able to annex Travancore to British India.
