He was always a Brahmin
Here is his statue with Brahmin's sacred thread.
Valluvar lived at least 1500 years ago.
Prof. Vaiyapuri Pillay gave the reasons for dating him in post Sangam period. His style of language and his usage of Tamil words help us to fix his date.
He used Brahminical language like ‘Acharam of the low life’ and Hindu Sanskrit phrase ‘Dhanam and Tapas’ and many Sanskrit words. He mentioned only Hindu Gods such as Lakshmi, Indra, Vamana avatar (adi Alanthan), Thamarai Kannan (Vishnu), Brahma etc.
In his very first chapter on Prayer to God, he mentioned Pada Namaskaram in 7 out of 10 couplets. This is typical Hindu. He used lot of Puranic, epic and Pancha tantra stories in his couplets. Tamil Nadu Government’s Date for Valluvar: 31 BC
Singaravelu Mudaliyar’s Abhidana Chintamani (Tamil Encyclopaedia, page 849) gives the following details:
Father of Valluvar: Bhagavan
Mother’s name: Adhi
Patron and Friend: Elela Singhan, a business man
Another name of Valluvar’s father :Yali Dutta, a Brahmin (according to Gnanamirtham)
Valuuvar’s Wife: Vasuki who did several miracles because of her chastity
Valluvar clashed with Madurai Sangam Tamil poets who refused to accept his Tirukkural ( a book of moral ethics with 1330 couplets). At last they accepted his book.
This is what happens when a Prejudiced mind has to deal with reality.
