He never sang any folk songs. All his songs were written by him. Even the ones about historical or folk personalities which are very few were written by him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.30.2.106 (talk) 23:01, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

 * , as I have already mentioned on your talk page, please see WP:UGC. Random caste-affiliated user-generated content is not considered reliable on this project. Having said that, I have just found a scholarly source which mentions that he was a Dalit: . And I will search about his background in a day or two. If you have any relevant reliable sources then feel free to list them here. Thanks. - NitinMlk (talk) 17:08, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Chamkila's caste
There are two clear indicators of Chamkila's caste as Dalit. One and second a recent article on him

The author of the UK magazine piece is clearly a content blogger with no investigative or scholarly acumen. Why is this piece being cited to assert Chamkila was a Ravidassia? Ravidassia identity is a political label and a recent phenomenon which was not prevalent in 1980s. Saying anything else than he was a Dalit is wrong. Blued20 (talk) 00:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Far Out is...suspicious. As noted on the talk page, there's been notices that some of its editors have been promoting their content on Wikipedia, while at least two of their articles plagiarized from this website. Carlinal (talk) 20:33, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
