Talk:Vaidikulu

I have now removed the text of this article and redirected it to the Brahmin article.

The word "vaidikulu" is nothing but a Telugu version of the Sanskrit word "vaidika", which means one who is related to the Vedas. In contemporary usage in all South Indian languages the word "vaidika" or any of its language-specific forms is used to mean people who either are in the priestly profession or just lead a Vedic way of life. It would be erroneous to suggest to unsuspecting researchers/readers that the word "vaidika" (or one of its forms) only relates to a particular obscure sub-caste among Telugu Brahmins which is mutually exclusive with another obscure sub-caste called Niyogulu, a separate article for which was not created.

This article focuses on a single community, whereas the original term applies to a broad section of Indian society. If you were then going to just explain the term "vaidika" then you should create a Sanskrit Wiktionary entry, not a Wikipedia article.

Ergo, I have removed the text of this article and redirected it to the Brahmin article, while also removing the "See Also" link from the Brahmin article to this article.
