Reset article back to a stub
I reset the article back to a stub as of 06:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC). The entire article was unsourced and unverifiable. Please use care in adding material from old revisions to follow proper Wiki syntax and cite reliable sources for all material likely to be challenged, and consider this as a challenge of the entire text of previous revisions. Please don't take offense at this, just the material needs to be verifiable to be able to be included on Wikipedia. Triona (talk) 06:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Reset stub back to article
I strongly object to resetting the article back to a stub. The article provided a good piece of valuable information about Devanga community. Readers contribute to the articles and readers are responsible for their sourcing and verification. Not all articles in Wikipedia are sourced and verifiable. In that sense, every article in Wikipedia is likely to be challenged by persons of knowledge or ignorance. Then why should this particular article have to be reset to a stub. There seems to be a conspiracy behind changing this article to a stub by persons not wanting this article to be published. Therefore I would request the stub changed back to article so that readers of Wikipedia do not fall victims of selective publications

Contradiction?
We appear to have a contradiction, saying The two divided when the Devangas began to follow Shaivite practices and the Padmashalis continued as Vaishnavites.[2] Devangas follow Veerashaivism or Shaivism [3] If the community split according to sect, how can some of the Devangas still follow the prior sect? I'm not saying it isn't possible (they could have reverted) but I think it needs a lengthier explanation sourced from somewhere. - Sitush (talk) 04:31, 17 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I may be missing something but am not finding anything in the book to support the claim that PadmaSale and Devanga were the same caste, who divided along religious lines.Would you mind quoting or pointing to the excerpt that states so?  ~ Winged Blades Godric  10:59, 17 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I can't see the book. I am just working off what the article says. - Sitush (talk) 11:05, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * That is, I can;t see the relevant part of it. Perhaps I could back in the day but Google Books views can be peculiar - see User:Sitush/Common. - Sitush (talk) 11:06, 17 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Hmm..... It's mentioned in the book (Page 36) and my initial efforts failed courtesy somebody altering the page number of the citation. At any case, that'a clear misinterpretation of the source. The source just mentions that in light of a particular social custom, the point has been merely suggested. A lot of reading stuff is out there and I will get onto it, once I'm on a PC:) ~ Winged Blades Godric  12:05, 17 May 2018 (UTC)


 * No problem. I might dig around myself but feel free. There's obviously something wrong somewhere. - Sitush (talk) 13:00, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * --Feel free to take a look and copy-edit, as may be necessary:) ~ Winged Blades Godric  05:10, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Can the Central government list be used as a reason to remove the content as claimed by these users.- SUN EYE 1  06:18, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Government classification is its own thing and is unrelated to what scholars think about what varṇa a caste belongs to. Chariotrider555 (talk) 19:21, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

The correct authentic source comes from the central government recognized list of castes, they belong to the OBCs. @suneye your edit clearly doesn't have a proof. I have provided the indian governments central list which clearly shows Devanga classified under OBCs. Kindly refrain from making edits without proof as these are sensitive topics. We4horsemen (talk) 06:31, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

The content removal of yours is related to it, you termed devangas as shudras which means SC/ST, but central government list classifies them as OBC. The central government list is the most reliable source is classification of castes. We4horsemen (talk) 06:35, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Devanga true varna
Basically devangas are vaishya because even handloom fabric is also made with the help of machine and textile manufacturers were so welthy and considering about claiming as a bramhin devangas devas Anga (body part of God ) are created devanga people as being body part of Deva they have considered high level people of society and highest people are Devanga's are Deva Brahmanas.Rokadevarad (talk) 19:14, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Telugu Devanga community had migrated to Coimbatore during the Vijaya Nagara empire rule. Around 1,00,000 Devanga people in and around Coimbatore. They have settled in the present Raja street and expanded their business alongside. Sri Ramalinga Sowdambigai is the family deity of the community for which they have built a temple in Raja street of Townhall, Coimbatore. Business and spirituality have been their two primes. The temple is now more than 500 years old. They have nine such temples which are said to be nine sisters.

Clarification needed
I was unable to make this block of text make sense - anyone want to take a stab at re-writing for clarity?  In bangalore Devanga community as a part of devala maharshi jayanthi celebration conduct national level basket ball championship.In Bangalore one can find andra devanga sangam of telugu devangas and devanga sangha run by kannada speaking devangas.Devanga sahgha in bangalore has a choultry/marriage hall which can be booked online.Spread of devanga community is mainly attributed to the krishnadevraya's era i.e, between 1505to 1520 where in his empire was spread to all the present four states of South India.
