Solution
The correct option is A Nayanars
Raj would be allowed to join the Nayanars. The Nayanars were 63 saint poets who sang and wrote on Shiva. Earlier, only the priestly castes could identify themselves with religion. But the Nayanars hailed from different social backgrounds: Kannappa was a hunter, Nandanar was a Pulaiya, a caste that was then deemed untouchable.
