 * It seems that you haven't yet stopped trolling.
 * Singhania is not Rajput, but Vaishya. Read Lakshmipat Singhania: his concepts and creations by P. Chentsal Rao (University of Michigan).
 * Ambani is also a Vaishya caste. Read The concept of rājadharma by Dr. Michael (ISBN: 8175741570, 9788175741577).
 * It is a well-known fact that Dhoot belongs to Maheshwari caste, not Jatt caste.
 * You haven't provided a single source to back your above claims.


 * Due to the fact that you have a dynamic ip, no action can be taken against you for your repeated disruptive edits. As a consequence, the only option left was to temporarily protect the article. Continue with your antics, and this article will be protected indefinitely. --King Zebu (talk) 17:51, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

lohana prove their connection with rathod(jaychand of kanoj),and prove that they are suryavanshi kshatriya,so i suggest to remove it from this page.Bhavinkundaliya (talk) 09:41, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

90% of Vaish subcaste originate from kshatriya. Agarwal : Maharaj Agrasen Maheswari:God Shiva Khandelwal:Raja Khandel Barnwal:Raja Aherwarn Porwal:Raja Puru The list is very long. Prominent Vaish King : Chandragupt, Ashok, Vikrmaditya, Harshvardhan,Hemu etc — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuarun (talk • contribs) 12:07, 6 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Sources? - Sitush (talk) 12:13, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Indian ancient society was a group of different tribes or clans. The important Clans were Lunar Dynasty ( the Chandra Vansa), Solar Dynasty ( the Surya Vansa.) etc. Vaishya also originate  from above clans. Reference: 1)The Tribes and Castes of the Central, Provinces of India,By R.V. Russell, Macmillan and Co., Limited St. Martin’s Street, London. 1916. Chapter 6. The Banias derived from the Rājpūts. 2) Mittal, J.P. (2006), History of Ancient India (4250 BC to 637 AD) 3) Bharatendu Harishchandra, Agrawalon ki Utpatti, 1871.etc — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuarun (talk • contribs) 10:22, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Russell is a poor source and anything from 1871 is too old (as well as most likely exactly the sort of stuff that Russell, Rose etc relied upon). We have to be extremely careful regarding sanskritisation, which really muddied the waters. I have a vague feeling that Mittal has been criticised as unreliable but I'll look into it. - Sitush (talk) 14:07, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * BTW, can you give me an ISBN for Mittal. And a page number where he refers to 90% etc. - Sitush (talk) 14:09, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Banyan merchants
Banyan merchants redirect here, but only Banyan (clothing) mentions them. Whyzat?--Pawyilee (talk) 16:45, 9 May 2012 (UTC) Banyan merchants no longer redirect here, but may drop by to visit. --Pawyilee (talk) 12:44, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Naming Vaishya groups
There are a few communities named in the article and the text clearly says that it is not an inclusive list. Nor should it be, since it would be long. I suppose that there might be an argument for creating List of Vaishya communities but we do have Category:Vaishya community and that should suffice. - Sitush (talk) 22:57, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

dvija
Vaisyas do not claim the dvija status,but all scriptures mention then as dvijas,the reference sources used needs to be changed. Nijgoykar (talk) 10:17, 3 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Are you saying that the existing source is unreliable? What source do you propose instead? Why should we not show both opinions? - Sitush (talk) 11:00, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Guides on pronunciation (phonetic) would be useful for each of the varnas, either/and here or in their respective articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.159.200.25 (talk) 14:45, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Hospitals
The History of hospitals article lists a Vaishya as an early type of hospital. That is why I added the Category:Hospitals to this article. -- Talk to G Moore 00:41, 23 December 2020 (UTC)


 * No, Vaishya is an Indian social class. While a few Vaishyas may have created hospitals, their traditional occupation was mercantile. Chariotrider555 (talk) 01:16, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
