The term Hola means an agricultural field and term Holeya is derived from Hola. Other colonial-era authors claimed it derived also from Hole, meaning "pollution." In British India, Holeyas lived in Canara, Coorg Province and Mysore. They were one of the lowest class, a perdial slave, who can be sold by the owner of the estate in which they were located. Holeya community is one of the oldest community in the subcontinent, which has been showed its presence through the mentions of the community name, in Ashoka's Gavi Mut Inscription of Koppal, and Halmidi Inscription in Halmidi, Hassan. They are said to be the oldest agricultural community of the state.In medivial history, Holeya were considered to be a sub division of Dher. Among Dhers there were three principal class of slaves called Holiyas, Yemaru and Paleru. Holeya are also known by name of Paraiyar in some areas. The old Tamil poems and early Christian writing do not mention the word Pariah or Paraiyan but mention the name of a tribe called Eyninas, who were quite distinct from the rest of people and did not live in villages, but in forts of their own. Mr Francis, a historian, regards them as ancestors of present-day Holeyas. (en)
