 * The article has debated content. What would be an appropriate article title? Sarcelles (talk) 12:35, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Which are the features to be considered a religion as opposed to just a part of Hinduism? Sarcelles (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Brill’s Encyclopedia of the Religions of the Indigenous People of South Asia has the following information: p. 67 says, the Southern Meena have goddesses such as Asapari and other deities. Bavaji worship is a distinctive part of the religion. p. 68 says, Bavaji are male ancestors and female ancestors are evil. Ancestors play a major role in all aspects of life.
 * p. 76 says there is no concept of sin, crime or soul in their tradition. Sarcelles (talk) 21:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
