Talk:Rajput/Archive 1

message: This article became part of the apparently Rajasthani nationalism inspired anonymous POV  -campaign by 61.17.113.245 (et al.) over at Kshatriya. It probably needs NPOVing (or reversion) and cleanup.
I do not know the etymology of Rajput (rajaputra seems fair enough), but it may be disputed, note Talk:Kshatriya:
:"-put" in "Rajput" is not a sanskrit suffix for son. Raj-put originated from the word Rajputana (a mixed word variation from the sanskrit word rAjasthAna, the region of royal palaces). The word is not ancient and has no reference in the Vedic texts.

replies: text: I would agree. I was only pointing out that there seem to be people contesting this. Dbachmann 09:22, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

text: call it "Rajput Chauvinism", then. Fact is that somebody seems terribly intent on emphasizing that a) Kshatriya=Rajput and b) "originally" Kshatriyas were "above" Brahmins, without giving any historical justification whatsoever. *shrug* Dbachmann 09:22, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

text: Feel free to make those changes. IMHO, this article still reads too much like a 19th-century Romantic view of the Rajputs. Perhaps I can't see it due to the deficiency of my "western" mind, but most of the generally-accepted histories I have read, by both westerners and Indians, can't document an unbroken line between ancient Kshatriyas and modern Rajputs, much less a 7000 year pedigree. That is not to say it isn't true, but there just doesn't seem to be much in the way of solid evidence. Tom Radulovich 21:35, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: In all fairness, I think we can remove the reference to Huns, if our Rajput readers find this idea so offensive: It's just speculation anyway. By saying that their origins are obscure, we are basically implying that they may or may not have a hunnic strain. dab 20:39, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure this is the best solution. You don't burn books simply because somebody's offended by what's in them. It is speculation I suppose, but one with a scholarly pedigree. (I mean, I assume we have articles on scientific racism and creationism and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and so on – doesn't mean we endorse such beliefs.) I suggest it might be better to cite where such opinions come from: for example, the sceptical and Western-educated Indian historian Romila Thapar, who makes this argument for the origins of the Rajputs in Volume I of her History of India. Then our Rajput readers can give evidence to support why they feel Ms Thapar is wrong, as K V S J has begun to do below. Cheers, QuartierLatin1968 16:53, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Sei Shōnagon

message: I read through the article and found that none of the facts have been sourced. It's a problem because Ivan Morris cites some very different facts in his translation. The biggest ones regard both the actual name of Sei Shonagon, and her personal life. While he asserts that personal details of her life were either unknown, or purely speculative, this article claims quite a few things. 
If you read the notes for his translation, and this article, there's a clash between the personal details of her life (whether or not she'd married, whether or not she had children, and details of her family).

replies: text: I know it's been almost six years, but I managed to find a source from the city itself giving the length of the bridge as 2607 ft. I am a little uncertain about that number, as it seems a little too small after looking on Google Maps and both estimating the length and noting how the bridge looks like it should be longer than the First Avenue South Bridge (which is not the case according to the number in that article). But it might just be due to how they choose the points they want to measure between.

Talk:Rajput/Archive 4

message: At the risk of being labelled politically incorrect, and insensitive may I humbly suggest that Rajputs are not a Homogenous group in terms of a "race". In years to come, this disambiguation would no more be there because of Mitochondrial_DNA testing. (Already the research conducted by Indian scientists and Westerners is pointing the inconlusivness of one single ancestor theory.) The Rajputs are indeed a social group based on a somewhat common worldview about their past. However, there is plenty of literature on the formation of tribes, races, castes, etc. Some of it is in the Indian context. This could be helpful in understanding the identity question. 
Secondly, the idea that non-Hindus can't be Rajputs is inherently flawed. Hinduism is a way of life, a combination of various religious beliefs, traditions and practices. It is not a monolith. Nor is it a formal religion. Thanks to the British, we know now of Hinduism as religon. Most of "Orientalism" was actually to gain control over the eastern wealth and resources.
May I request Shonan Talpade to be a little gentle while presenting his arguments, if he has any. His rejoinder to Omer Khan was quite inappropriate. The response entitled "Northern India" (above) is equally irresponsible.
