The Mannan are Hindus and are a Scheduled Caste.
The Mannan in Kerala speak, read and write in Malayalam. They are not vegetarians but do not eat beef nor pork and they eat rice as a cereal. They prefer cross cousin marriages. They work in coconut harvesting, herbal medicines and laboring and in other occupations. A community association looks after them.
In Tamil Nadu, the Mannan speak Kerala and Tamil. Both boys and girls are educated. They work as washermen and in government and private service.
* Scripture Prayers for the Mannan, tribal in India.
* Pray that the community association leaders come to Jesus Christ and lead others to Him.
* Pray that gospel materials and the internet will lead them to salvation.
