In Kerala, the Maruthuvar caste is traditionally associated with the practice of medicine and healing, particularly herbal medicine and traditional healing methods. It is often compared to the Ayurvedic practitioners or the Kshatriya caste, who historically held roles in healing and healthcare. However, it's important to note that caste classifications can be complex and vary across regions and communities, and the Maruthuvar may not have a direct equivalent.

ezhava of kerala
In the Kerala caste system, Ezhavas are considered to be a forward caste group distinct from Nairs and Shudras. Ezhavas traditionally were engaged in various occupations such as agriculture, trade, and business. They have made significant contributions to the socio-economic and cultural fabric of Kerala.
The caste system in Kerala differed from that found in the rest of India. While the Indian caste system generally modelled the four-fold division of society into Brahmins, Kshatriyas,Vaisyas and Shudras, in Kerala the Nambudiri Brahmins formed the priestly class and only rarely recognized anyone else as being other than Shudra or untouchables outside the caste system entirely. Thus, the Kerala caste system was ritualised but it was not the varnamodel found elsewhere.
No.its a completly different caste.saliya is a lower caste in kerala listed as obc by kerala government.
Nair is one of the caste in Kerala. All human are same. In that sense, you can not say one caste is forward or other is backward. If you see the caste system, Nairs are considered as Shudras who comes at the bottom in Hindu varna(color) system. First is Brahmins and then Kshathriyas(Mainly Verma) and then Vaishyas(Who does trace) and then Shudras who work for all the other three groups.
