On tue ,4th may 1999 Smt.Lakshmi srinivas wrote that iyengars is a caste

appellation of recent times(16th century or so).If that is true then how

where our ancestors before the 16th century called?.She also wrote that the

terms iyer and iyengars where not used during ramanuja's time then when did

people start using the terms iyer and iyengars.I would like to know the

origin of iyengars and also how some brahmins came to be known as iyers and

some iyengars.Who are suyamacharyas?.Can anyone explain me the concept of

suyamacharias?
