 * , there is a consensus that we do not mention genetics on caste pages.LukeEmily (talk) 19:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Where is this mentioned?
 * I've seen plenty of genetics subheadings on different caste/community pages here on Wikipedia. Why is it suddenly a problem for Brahmins? Temporary 1010 (talk) 10:45, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Vandalism by Timovinga
I want to make people aware of @Timovinga who seems to be targeting numerous topics related to casteism and homosexuality, adding numerous texts that are not NPOV and poorly sourced, and removing texts that don't fit with his views. Arind7 (talk) 11:36, 19 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I believe the Brahmin article should at least have Brahmin representation in it for sure. 108.39.84.90 (talk) 04:54, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Poorly written
I reverted your edits [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brahmin&diff=prev&oldid=1205775469 iff] because it is poorly written: The division between Gauda and Dravida Brahmins may be relevant, as it pertains to the divide between Aryan and Dravidin cultural spheres, but it needs more explanation; and, the pagenumber on Lochtefeld is incorrect.

 * "According to Perception of Vijay Nath"
 * "some Brahmins sprung into the families"
 * ",like this he even mentions different type of Brahmins of this category."
 * "According to Kalhana's Rajatarangini (c. 12th century CE) and Sahyadrikhanda of Skandapurana.The Brahmins are broadly classified into two groups."


 * @Joshua Jonathan I had doubt regarding this.First three statements were my attempts to give the same meaning as written in JSTOR.The content is basically no way related to me but let me try to give the same meaning. The division part is not regarding arya or Dravida, it is geographical divisions of Brahmins in India. Ref:Pancha gaud and Pancha dravid, the page exists in Wikipedia. Thank you for pointing out.

 * The division part is not regarding arya or Dravida take a better look. Joshua Jonathan  -  Let's talk!  07:59, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Joshua JonathanThis is not related to arya and dravida.This is region named gaud(North of Vindhyas) and Dravida(South of Vindhyas).This is no way related to Arya or Dravid as Maharashtra and Gujarat are also included in Dravida division.Possibly the source explains the best.

There no equivalent aor in english for varna, the word caste was introduced by English rulers and actually has no definition. Indian law recognises hundreds to thousands caste in ech varna. Therefore the word caste should be removed from here and elsewhere where it is used in place of varna 2405:201:3008:C013:A2EE:119C:891A:CA19 (talk) 16:34, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
