Clan and Caste
"Caste designators, such as Jat and Rajput, were status-based titles to which any tribe that rose to social prominence could lay a claim, and which could be dismissed by their peers if they declined."

Consider rewording as follows:

Clan designators, such as Jat, Rajput, and Maratha, were attributed to tribes, families, or communities of various origins, which rose in prominence and could lay claim to membership in one of the principal clans of western India. A group's clan status could also be revoked by a consensus of other groups in the clan. Clan formation in India is little understood, and seems to be a function exclusively neither of race, tribe, class, caste, nor of geographic origin. Clan is not to be confused with caste, which is the system of hereditary social rank across all of Hinduism. Membership in a Rajput clan might confer status, but as a separate matter from one's caste, and without the religious connotations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethanpettit (talk • contribs) 08:38, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Descendants of the Parmar dynasty in Maharashtra.
The royal family of Phaltan, (located in present day Maharashtra), also trace their decent from the Parmar dynasty. The family which settled in Maharashtra in the 12th century has the probable distinction as being the oldest dynasty in Maharashtra. The current surname of the memebers of this family is Naik Nimbalkar. I do not know why but nobody except professional historians even know about that this family was originally part of the Parmar dynasty. The Naik Nimbalkar family is very intimately related to Chatrapati Shivaji, as both his maternal and paternal grandmothers were from this family as well as his daughter was married to a Naik Nimbalkar. The last Adhipati (King) of Phaltan was a very popular ruler and played a prominent part in the post-independence politics of Maharashtra. The current head of the family is also very socially active.

I would welcome any comments/contradictions about this information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.47.166.113 (talk) 19:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC).

Wikification and clean-up
Wikification (and clean-up) of this article has been completed. During this, a lot of information was removed that was either written in unencyclopedic prose or that was relevant to another article. The former, related to "Modern history", is retained as an editor's comment, and can be reintroduced with proper copy-editing and balancing for NPOV. The latter, related to the Ponwar article, has been removed from this article entirely. Links and references relating to Sharad Pawar have also been removed, although I'm not sure whether or not he deserves a mention in this article.

Also, in this article, "Paramara" and "Ponwar" are treated as two different clans of possibly similar descent. This is primarily based on the information in the latter article, but I would appreciate some clarification on the exact differences between the two names. Cheers. – Liveste 05:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Social Status - wrong information..
Low cast Parmaras - the origin can be observed in that the teaching of the learned Parmara kings. When we can see the Masjid erected in period of the King 'Udayaditya'. I have this opinion that when sufis came to Dhar region they might have created impact of equal social status by preaching the Koran. As king himself admired the Dharma, this is quite possible that some of the social elements might have turned to the new dharma teachings and may be converted to Muslim.

Another point is that the Paramara controlled area people might have started some movement in which when they are asked who you are - answer might have been - from Paramara region; finally coming to claim that from Paramara lordship. Result claiming - Paramara clan membership. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.80.57.2 (talk) 01:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Muslim Panwars/Paramaras
Many clans in west punjab are descended from Panwars. One village called Mori who are all Panwar rajputs. They are well to do and many are abroad and take active milltary service. Some Panwars became zameendars and stopped using title rajput and are called chaudhry but still active in milltary service. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.15.165.55 (talk) 20:16, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Narendra.cca, 30 January 2011
(Dhudhi are a parmar rajput) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.39.187.213 (talk) 04:23, 15 September 2015 (UTC) parmars are not descendants of the Gujjars. Gujjars were shefereds and paramars were the rulers. Please remove all caluses which relates parmars to gujjars.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The information supporting that theory (and note that it is just listed as one of several theories) appears to be very well supported. If you have more information about another theory, we can add that if you have reliable sources and those sources have due weight in the field. Alternatively if you think that the current sources aren't reliable, please explain. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:18, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Merge with Panhwar, Ponwar?
These three articles seem to be about the same group of people (though the perspective/slant varies by article), under different spellings. Does anyone have a clear objection to merging the other two articles into this one? MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:38, 8 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Panhwar specifically stated that said group was a Muslim subset of Paramara. Given that once I removed all the non-cited or non-credible/legendary data, there was little info left, I moved what remained over to this article as ==Muslim Paramara== to avoid repetition.  Looking to do similar with Ponwar, as a gBooks search seems to indicate tons of resources identifying the two solely as alternate spellings.  I note there seems to be some divergence based on religion/clan, but rather than have POV forks all claiming separate views of the same history, better to bring them all together here. MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:16, 9 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I chunked all of Ponwar over here, so it's a big and sloppy merge at this point. The article was just barely similar enough for me to fill assured they're the same thing; it appears there are a dozen ways to spell these people.  The article is now in dire need of cleanup, copyedit, and proper references. MatthewVanitas (talk) 21:27, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Naval Viyogi
Why do we treat as a reliable source someone whose primary field has been as a novelist and short-story writer and who holds an opinion concerning "Brahmanical bias" in Indian history writing? I refer, of course, to Naval Viyogi. - Sitush (talk) 15:13, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Restructure
In my view and according to my knowledge the Ancient Origins section of Paramara page need major edits because whats written there now is somewhat wrong(about 90%). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.96.107.37 (talk) 18:18, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Maya Unnithan-Kumar
We need to be very careful in our use of the Maya Unnithan-Kumar source because it seems to be based on a highly localised study and is considering the Girasia community more than it is the Paramar/Parmar subgroup. What this article needs is sources that discuss the Paramars in broad terms rather than in, say, one particular village. - Sitush (talk) 07:59, 26 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Exactly, hence my changes of 09:03, 26 August 2013‎, to show that there are several clans with the 'Parmar' name but, per Hindhu mythology/tradition one Varna. The Girasia are but one of the clans that use the 'Parmar' name. The Muslim Parmars are another (but source citation required for conversion event during the Sultanate)


 * Also - not sure where the link to 'Ror' came from - changed to 'Chauhan'.

11.20 UTC 26 August 2013 Parmark.


 * I have just reverted to a "last best version". Subsequent contributions added opinionated statements that were unsourced. From my fairly wide experience of caste articles on Wikipedia, I suspect that they were probably in large part also plain old puffery. I am still unhappy about seeing the Unnithan-Kumar source in there and it seems that I may have a point, per the comments of . I'm not yet sure what the solution may be but it certainly is not to add unsourced material. Alas, it may be a while before I can do some research on this but I do intend to do so when I can. - Sitush (talk) 10:03, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

For now I have cited the following web references to Encyclopædia Britannica (assume copyright allows this?):

I have made a note of the above links here as, unfortunately every time I make a change, a subsequent editor makes unreferenced, possible puffery changes - and my changes keep getting backed out with theirs - Very Frustrating!! Please assess each editors' contributions on an individual basis.

I also have an original book on the history of the Paramara, but do not have it to hand. Will quote relevant pages when I get back to it. Parmark (talk) 07:32, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

"See also" section
The "See Also" section currently provides links to 'Ror' and 'Solank' wikipages. The four main Rajput Dynasties (See Encyclopædia Britannica Agnikula link) are Parmara, Pratihara, Chauhan, and Solanki - I suggest the "See also" section be changed to reflect this. Parmark (talk) 07:50, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Muslim Parmars
There are two problems with the current statement on Moslem Parmars : i) There is no source citation, regarding if/when the Moslem Parmar conversions happened. Not disputing this - just want a 'requires citation' statement added ii) The "Moslem Parmars" wikipage redirects back to this Paramara page. Parmark (talk) 07:50, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Major copyedit
Hi there, just wanted to explain a couple of things so that this article can move forward. People with limited English skills add (in good faith) information at various times and when I see that I try to make sense of it, do a copy edit and then when it can be read, I try to source appropriate references. So, I guess I'm for inclusivity and improvement in the paedia, not against. Having said that, it's clear that I don't have any point of view about Paramaras, just a wish to see an interesting and accurate and helpful and well written article. I agree the current revision that we keep going back to is technically the best, but it is of little interest or inclusivity as it stands. I'll continue to reference whatever is contributed but it might take a little more time. If anyone wants to help then I'm happy to discuss. Kind regards, Myrtle G. Myrtlegroggins (talk) 05:14, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

It keeps


 * See WP:GS/Caste and the logs for this article. This is a very awkward topic area and, basically, no source = no mention. Interesting-ness and accuracy are not mutually exclusive but the latter is a pillar and the former is not. You'll also have to accept that sourcing articles such as this is often fraught with problems; for example, you can forget using practically everything published in the British Raj period and also The People of India. You'll also likely need a thick skin because edit wars, abuse, threats and socking are commonplace. - Sitush (talk) 05:36, 23 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Thankyou, Sitush, very much for replying. I'll keep working on the article, with your advice very much in mind, and I'll make sure the references are solid before adding anything. I'm not sure that I have a thick skin but I'll keep trying to get on as best I can. Thanks again, Myrtle. Myrtlegroggins (talk) 07:55, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Agnikul
I have just reverted here. I can only see a snippet view of the cited source but it appears to be quoting British authors from the pre-independence era and those people are not reliable. Can we have some context, please. Are they just quoting or are they agreeing? Is theirs a statement or a speculation? - Sitush (talk) 10:46, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

 * @IM3847 This type of abuse of sources etc seems still to be going on, via another editor. Eg: this edit. I am pretty sure even this edit isn't entirely supported by the source - there are numerous different names being bandied around but being an "offshoot", "branch" or "descendant" of some community in the distant past doesn't make the various names synonyms, nor does it mean that they do or did have a similar socio-economic standing throughout.
 * If they *are* synonyms, then there should not be a separate article for them but rather a redirect to some common article.
 * So, either way, it is wrong. - Sitush (talk) 19:30, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I propose to merge Panwar here. These on the surface appear to be different way to spell the same clan name. If I am wrong, the distinguish shall be used to avoid the confusion. See also above. Викидим (talk) 20:39, 5 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Support. Because Panwar, Pawar, and Panhawar are all synonyms for the same clan name on the Panwar clan page, only 4 references are theirs, and the 1st and 3rd references on the Panwar page are outdated or unreliable sources of the WP:RAJ era, and the further 2nd reference is from non_reliable Indian news site WP:NEWSORG. 2404:3100:188E:8036:1:0:460:FB35 (talk)
 * Question - What about Parmar (Jat clan)? Several of the cited sources there seem to describe it as a self-contained Jat group, but one citation says Qanungo forgot that Pawars (Parmar), Tanwars, Bhattis, Johiyas etc. are found in Jats as well as Rajputs, which would suggest there is an overlap in scope between Parmar clans. signed,Rosguill talk 16:42, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
