Hi

Hi, I noticed your contributions to the India page and wanted to introduce myself. I saw a lot of your contributions are from your own collections, are you a historian? I ask as a fellow academic and philosopher. Johnnytest5 (talk) 12:09, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Good morning. Yes, I have added some maps, stamps, and coins, but the credit for collecting them does not belong to me. They were handed down to me. Thanks so much for your nice note. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 15:09, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Round 2

You might remember this discussion concerning an apparent "consensus" — attributed to Sitush — to exclude certain details from lead all articles on castes etc. The issue is being re-discussed at the Notice-Board for India related topics. Thanks for your participation, TrangaBellam (talk) 09:24, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

One general info needed

Dear FF Sir, I had added this on an Ahir page: " Ahirs who were mainly classed as having lowly status in the social hierarchy took to Sanskritisation an attempt by low castes to rise up the social ladder, often by tracing their origins to mythical warrior characters or following the lifestyle of higher varna." but after your recent changes on Yadav page, I am bit confused as to whether I should modify the lines on Ahir page and add your reference there to make it ambiguous or leave it as such as other references are very explicit in their description about non-elite status ( indirectly shudra) for this group. Sir, I request for your small response to it below here for the next step. I will go accordingly to it. Thanks RS6784/Akalanka820 (talk) 05:27, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Edit on India

Hi. Regarding my last edit on India that you reverted, by removing a sentence that was repeated I meant literally remove two sentences that were doubled. Read the section you'll see what I mean. I didn't remove anything you wrote. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:55, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

@WonderBoy1998: OK, if that is the case, I will self-revert. Apologies. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 15:02, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Marginalised groups, often considered as Shudras, like the Ahirs (Yadavs), Kurmis and the Gujars, began to redefine their emerging political and economic role in society by fighting on the same 'religious' grounds. In so doing, they refashioned their status as warriors and kings who had played a special role in history as guardians of Hinduism (Gooptu 2001 : 195; see also Pinch 1996 : 118–38). Gyanendra Pandey (1990: 66–108) describes how, since the end of the 19th century, such processes of Sanskritisation (adoption of 'higher' forms of Hinduism) among lower castes have joined up with Hindu nationalist movements, such as the cow protection movement, and how these interrelations have been central to the formation of a Hindu and a Muslim community in northern India.
