Who they are
The Panikkan are a traditional community of southern India, speakers of the Tamil language and integrated into the cultural dynamics of their region. Historically associated with rural trades and ancestral community traditions, they maintain strong loyalty to local customs and Hindu devotion. With no known believers among them, they live far from the knowledge of the message of Christ.
