Please correct information about Kurmi caste origin
I can see that the owner of this article has given several opinion of late-19th century theories of the etymology of Kurmi. i am surprised that you have given opinion of people place here who are actually not from Kurmi caste itself. If you are writing about origin about a caste origin then you should give opinion of people from caste itself a place. People from this caste has always considered themselves as a martial race i.e Kshatriya and simultaneously agriculture was also their occupation. If you check in human history when the word kurmi first appeared the you will find that in rigveda as "Tuvi kūrmi"(तुविकूर्मि):—[=tuvi-kūrmi] [from tuvi] meaning powerful in working (Indra), [Ṛg-veda iii, vi, viii.]. Please go and read and make edits if you have little logic left in your brain.I don't know what type of research you have done but in several books like for an example "Martial Races of Undivided India : Vidya Prakash Tyagi"(which you have mentioned in your own wiki page) Kurmi has been described as a martial race i.e they are Kshatriya, and I do not see you have put that information in the page. I can see clear bias and promotion of bullying of a caste like for an example you have mentioned kurmis as a "non-elite tiller caste". Please visit india and see the conditions by your own eye. I hope you have an eye and a brain. ArvindKumar23 (talk) 21:19, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi Sir,
 * May I know if i can give information from books to back my claims.
 * I agree that this is not a caste-promotional sites but this is also not a caste bullying site as well. Why have you written Kurmi are "non-elite tiller caste".
 * Please remove that and make it as a chief agriculture caste of India.

 * Awaiting for your Esteem response.

 * Please edit these information on kurmis
 * 1. Introduction Please add: The Kurmi claim that they are the direct descendants of the famous Suryavanshi Kshatriya dynasties of Lord Rama and one of the sects of Hindus in India. Kurmis are known as chief agricultural caste of India. Kurmi and their descendants residing all over the world and especially India are compassionate, industrious and very resourceful people.
