Meenas and gurjar
Is Meenas and gurjar are same? Prince Marmat (talk) 10:05, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Basically both caste have main occupation is farming and animal husbandry. Both Meenas and gurjar are in majority in Rajasthan. Where Meenas are in Sawai Madhopur, jaipur, dausa, karauli. Where gurjar are in bilwara, jaipur, dausa,bharatpur, and near ajmer. Both caste have their active leader such that meenas have Kirodi lal Meena and gurjar have kirodi baisla. So according to many people Gurjar and Meenas are same caste. they are live like brother. Prince Marmat (talk) 10:11, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Susawat

Dear Ji, help me. -- Karsan Chanda (talk) 03:55, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * The 1879 gazette is not considered reliable. The reference (named archive below) doesn't talk about Susawat or Alan Singh. The reference (named google book below) says that the much of Meena's history is an attempt to give respectability to the Meenas (in other words, it is made up stuff). The final reference (named Rajasthan government below) is the only one that talks about a Meena king (not Alan Singh but someone else) and, as a government site, it is also not WP:RS. --RegentsPark (comment) 12:14, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Susawat Meena Karsan Chanda (talk) 12:39, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * As I've said before, the chapter about the Meenas in this book says, very clearly, that the Meenas are using folklore to invent a more glamorous history for themselves. You cannot use this book to cite the existence of kings or empires. --RegentsPark (comment) 12:42, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

But a page has been created on Hindi Wikipedia for Susawat Meena. --
 * What's on the hindi wikipedia has no bearing for what goes here. You need to bring reliable sources to the table. -

According to this book the Meenas are the third largest tribal group in India. -- Karsan Chanda (talk) 14:27, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The short description should then have said "Third largest tribal ..." rather than "Third tribal". The size doesn't seem important for the short description anyway, so I'd just leave it out. --RegentsPark (comment) 22:03, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I took a look at the source and it is saying that the Bhil are the third largest tribal group and that Meenas are a subgroup of the Bhil. So, third is not correct anyway. --RegentsPark (comment) 22:04, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

 * If you are referring to my recent deletion, I removed it because it is utter nonsense. Proto-Dravidian is a hypothetical root language, from millennia ago. It is not an ethnicity. AndyTheGrump (talk) 11:40, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

You didn't answer me. -- Karsan Chanda (talk) 12:08, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Since I can't read the source, I've no idea whether it is reliable for anything. It cannot possibly be reliable for a statement that the Meenas are Proto-Dravidian though, if it actually suggests that. The statement is simply nonsensical. An ethnic group cannot be a hypothetical root language, and vice versa. AndyTheGrump (talk) 12:18, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes. Karsan Chanda (talk) 00:43, 30 July 2022 (UTC)


 * In which case, you really shouldn't be trying to edit articles in English. At least, not ones on subjects that require being able to understand complex sources, and being able to explain what they say in your own words. AndyTheGrump (talk) 00:58, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

That's why I'm asking for your help. Karsan Chanda (talk) 01:14, 30 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I can't help you. Editing the English-language Wikipedia requires some competence in the language it is written in. If you can't read English, and you can't Write English, you shouldn't be trying. Machine translation just isn't good enough, and you can't expect other people to explain everything to you - not if you are trying to use machine translation to communicate with them.


 * I don't know what your first language is, but Wikipedia has versions in many languages: have you considered editing one in a language you are fluent in? AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:27, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Criminal Tribes Act,1871 and Meena Caste
In India, the British made the Criminal Tribes Act and the local British officials of the states of India included the Meena caste in the Criminal Tribes Act. After the independence of India, the Act was repealed in 1949 and the Meena caste along with other castes was denotified by the Act. In 2005, the Government of India established the National Commission for Denotified, Nomadic, Semi Nomadic Tribes (NCDNST) and states included Meena caste in the DNST category as follows

Category
Meena caste is mainly located in the states of North India, Meena caste has been included in different categories by different states of India, the list of states is as follows -

[Note-1. Meena caste is not included in any reserved category of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and other states. 2.Punjab includes only DNST category.]
 * Madhya Pradesh - Meena caste was included in the Scheduled Tribe category in Vidisha subdivision of Sinroj district in Madhya Pradesh, which was removed after 01-jan-2003 Gazette notification of the Government of India. "At present, Meena (Rawat) is included in the OBC class of the country (data-entry number: 19)" Rest all 'Meena' are included in the unreserved category.

Meenas are a sub-group of Bhils.
Why do you feel it is necessary to change this? -- Karsan Chanda (talk) 15:27, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * , As per more recent sources already cited in the article like the following, Meena is a distinct tribe similar to Bhils; it isn't talked of as a Bhil sub-group:




 * As per the Rajasthan government's list of Scheduled tribes, Meena, Bhil and Bhil Meena are listed as three different communities. There is no point in sticking to the KS Singh's Govinda Chandra Rath's definition. Dympies (talk) 18:17, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Indian history congress
Can you describe how its a WP:RS for this subject? How we can verify expertise of author who wrote the content on this source? Dympies (talk) 17:19, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The Indian History Congress sources were used on other articles as well and it is generally considered a good source. It was concluded earlier in a discussion. If you can't access the content, then there are other way to demand the verifiably. You can tag it as quote needed. Also, I don't think that the sentence you removed was suspicious, if it has been suspicious, then we may have doubted the intention of editor putting that source there. Please note, JSTOR is itself a collection of scholarly journals. Hence, source 2 used there is highly reliable.Also seems to be satisfying Historical Scholarship.Admantine123 (talk) 19:14, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

WP:LEAD
This sentence "It used to be claimed they speak Mina language, a spurious language." has no coverage in the body of the article, which is bad WP-writing.

Multiple Inaccuracies
Firstly, Meena And bhil Mina are two different tribes and cannot be termed as subgroup of and another. Check the official categorization here on of the state government - https://sje.rajasthan.gov.in/Default.aspx?PageID=66

And reservation is based on the fact they were tribes and not that they were low caste.

https://vikaspedia.in/social-welfare/scheduled-tribes-welfare/scheduled-tribes-in-india

And you can see in this post that high-caste people can be ST and in lot of places in India Bhramins are also in ST. And meenas have back in past been ruler of Rajasthan, they are actually a warrior, farming tibe. https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-be-an-ST-and-be-a-Brahmin/answer/Saurabh-Tomar-25?ch=17&oid=51611639&share=5f3de910&srid=uy8Bx&target_type=answer

Kindly remove that photo mentioning low caste hindoos, under reservation section as caste don't play any role in getting reservation. Meenas reservation is based on tribal status. And that photo is of british era. Meenas were part of 42nd deoli regiment and also had waged war/ mutiny against the British demonic rule, so the British had no incentive of portraying them as good and therefore pointed out them as low caste hindoos. Kindly remove that picture or give proper analysis as it denigrades the image of Meena community. TheRealAnalysis (talk) 05:36, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

 * The book "Culture and Integration of India Tribes" by R.S.Mann mentions that Meenas are considered as a Kshatriya caste equally as Rajputs, and having higher social status in the society. They are well integrated with other higher castes like Rajputs, Brahmins etc. Brahmins perform all rituals from birth, marriage and death for Meenas like for any other higher Hindu caste.

2. Meena is not a lower caste. Remove the image from reservation section that Meena's,Hindoos of lower caste. And calling Meena's hindoos of lower caste also goes against SC/ST Act 1989. https://www.indiacode.nic.in/handle/123456789/1920?sam_handle=123456789/1362

The Meena fall into the Scheduled Tribe category in the state of Rajasthan and the majority of them are classified as being Hindu, but in Madhya Pradesh Meena are recognised as a Scheduled Tribe only in Sironj Tehsil, Vidisha, while in the other 44 districts of the state they are categorised as Other Backward Classes.It has been proposed that the Meenas be fully recognised as a Scheduled Tribe in Madhya Pradesh. The proposal is being considered by the Government of India. In Uttar Pradesh, Meena are considered migrated from Rajasthan and have been living in western districts of Mathura, Sambhal and Budaun since many generations. At par their origin they are granted a Scheduled tribe status in the state of Uttar Pradesh. In Haryana they are classified as Other Backward Classes.In Maharashtra also Meenas come under the Other Backward Classes.

In Rajasthan, the Meena caste members oppose the entry of Gurjars into Scheduled Tribe fold, fearing that their own share of Scheduled Tribe reservation benefits will be eroded.

Firstly, Meena And bhil Mina are two different tribes and cannot be termed as subgroup of and another. Check the official categorization here on of the state government - https://sje.rajasthan.gov.in/Default.aspx?PageID=66

And reservation is based on the fact they were tribes and not that they were low caste.

And you can see in this post that high-caste people can be ST and in lot of places in India Bhramins are also in ST. And meenas have back in past been ruler of Rajasthan, they are actually a warrior, farming tibe. https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-be-an-ST-and-be-a-Brahmin/answer/Saurabh-Tomar-25?ch=17&oid=51611639&share=5f3de910&srid=uy8Bx&target_type=answer

Kindly remove that photo mentioning low caste hindoos, under reservation section as caste don't play any role in getting reservation. Meenas reservation is based on tribal status. And that photo is of british era. Meenas were part of 42nd deoli regiment and also had waged war/ mutiny against the British demonic rule, so the British had no incentive of portraying them as good and therefore pointed out them as low caste hindoos. Kindly remove that picture or give proper analysis as it denigrades the image of Meena community. Rohitys (talk) 04:23, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Kindly make these changes-
 * 1) Only a certain caste of Meenas were denotified as criminals, that is Chowkidar Meenas(mina) and not other ones.
 * 2) Bhill and Meenas are two different tribes, i have earlier given government articles… now i am going to post a book source with detailed study, reaffirming the same. And in that you would find that Meenas are high in socio-hierarchy. (Pg 99 top paragraph)
 * 3)Kindly remove that low caste hindoos picture, as that is not right, meenas as a tribe has many sub clans, so that picture is not doing justice, as at that time chowkidar meenas particularly were at fight against britishers and so someone clicked pictures in Delhi in 1880s, where as meenas are natively from Rajasthan which is like 300 Km, so at that time the photographer taker might mistakenly notified them as low caste hindoos and also since the chowkidar meenas were in mutiny against britisher. So kindly take that down, it is wrong.
 * In the book page number 102 first paragraph you will find clearly that Meenas smoke and eat together with Jats and Gurjars. Also have acceptance in clean higher caste system.
