Jagadguru Adi sankara (madhwas bramnin kerala), agastya mahamuni (ayurvedic pandit), Manickavasagar (one of the god nayanars), Kambar (Tamil ramayanam writer), etc.. born in this community..
The Pandithar or Pandit also known as Maruthuvar, in olden days they were the doctors for the commoners and advisors for the Kings. They followed mostly Siddhar, ayurveda, and siddha to treat patients. That time, people were not used to cut their hair, rather they grow. When they got wounds, the "Maruthuvars" removed hairs in the wounded area, before they would do expertise in siddha or ayurvedic medicines. So apart from helping patients, people got their hairs cut as well.
When the British came to divide and rule India, they introduced English medicines, gradually the British indirectly dimmed the Siddha and Ayurvedic medical practices to be vanished away for their economical gains. The British set brought the hair cutting practices and people in general also started trimming their hairs in the name of fashion. The "Maruthuvars", took opportunity to gain economically.
"Navithan" or Nasuvan in olden days were musicians in the places of gatherings for weddings, etc. and in the courts of the Kings and Rulers. When the British came to rule India "Nassuvan" were integrated to became a community with the Maruthuvars.
Today, in the modern era and century, many started beauty parlors, learn traditional musical instruments, learn both the ayuveda, siddha, though they do not belong hereditarily to this community, entered into these profession for a financial gain and modernity.
Maruthuvars, differently called as Nassuvan (Navithars), Mangalar, etc., were respectable Physicians, who lived once as courtiers, dentist and doctors. Maruthuvar, Pandithar, Vaithiyar, Nasuvar, Pronopakari or Parubagari who are derogatively termed today as Ambattan, meaning "Am" means five, "Battan" means title. Ambattan is a person with five distinctive skills or career titles, and their women is known as Maruthuvachi, meaning a Mid-wifery or Women-doctor'. It is noteworthy that only women who belongs to this caste has the right to use the caste title behind their names "Maruthuvachi" As India is Patriarchal society, only men are entitle to carry lineage of caste behind their names, not their women, except the Maruthuvachi.
In the Pre-colonial, Pre-British Era, the Dravidian race or the Dravidian People was ruled and led by one simple philosophy: "ONDRE KULAM ORUWANE THEIVAM". These group of castes are known with various names and titles distinctions in various parts of India. Ezhavathy Nair, Nair, Manggala, etc. Maruthuvar means ONE WHO PREPARES MARUNTHU OR MEDICINES, Today Known As Pharmacies, Or Medicinal Doctor.
The film 7aum Arivu (7th sense) explains about the medicinal tradition and this community people.
