Who they are
The Vanniyan Kotton are a traditional community of southern India, rooted in Tamil culture and language. Historically tied to agricultural work and rural trades, they preserve deep community ties and customs passed down from generation to generation. Their daily life is shaped by family rituals and Hindu devotion, remaining a group with very little contact with the gospel.
