Talk:Ghosh

message: I would like to suggest to those folks working on this article that you review the policies of Wikipedia, specifically with article format, how to make lists, when and when not to wikify links (nearly every single word was wiki-linked, even things like "period" and "warrior" and "organization". That is unnecessary, so I removed them. Things that are relevant to research should be wiki-linked, but normal daily words, not needed. 
Also, I'd strongly suggest that people bring their editing here, rather than just drop it in. As I've mentioned to several others, I'm simply cleaning up the formatting, I'm of no use with regards to content, as I'm not an expert. This article desperately needs someone from the expert community to come help with validity, which is why it has the tags on it. Please do not remove them. 
The goal is to get information in a readable format, that is valid and referenced, and readable to the lay-person. Please keep these things in mind, and please see Wikipedia:Help for links regarding formatting and the proper way to use Wikipedia's special formatting language. (It is not done in html)

thread_title:  Regarding editing 

message: I request the admin of this article to keep it locked, after making the article, objective, neutral and unbiased.
Also spelling errors must be taken care of.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.164.117.194  (talk • contribs) 
:Articles don't have admins assigned to them. There are a series of monitors and patrol users, but unless it is a major featured article or something highly controversial, from what I've seen, pages don't get automatically protected. I think the starting point as I mentioned to you, would be to get an expert here, to verify and clean up, get some references, and then see where things stand. After that, if there are validity issues, or WP:NPOV issues, perhaps it could be taken to a third party or a committee somewhere for review, and possible temporary protection if need be. 
:I must be honest, I really don't have any idea what this article is about. It seems to be about a common last name of people, and the history of that name, but as for the rest, I couldn't tell you a thing, lol. Perhaps that makes me ignorant, but I'm ignorant about a lot of things, so hey, :) I guess what I'd suggest (and I'm by no means an expert, so don't take my word for things) is the above advice. In the mean time, I think I'd suggest taking the article a little less personally, and realize that those users editing it are probably just trying to improve it, and don't realize their information may be (or is) incorrect. It isn't worth getting into edit wars over, so if you find yourself having to constantly revert it, perhaps step back and evaluate whether it is worth being upset over.
:One thing I'll promise to do: I will look around and try to find a project committee that is in charge of Indian articles/culture, and attempt to get an expert in here. How does that sound? Ariel♥Gold 21:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're definitely right, I can't judge, lol. I didn't even notice that there were two versions of the article, I've simply been fixing the obvious formatting problems. This really should not become an issue for edit wars, and I'd hope whoever is editing can understand that we must retain a Neutral point of view and cite sources. I'm still looking into getting an expert for this. As for the rest, I guess I would just have to say take it with a grain of salt, and don't take it personally. It is by no means a reflection of you! :) Thanks for the reply. Ariel♥Gold 15:38, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  To keep the article in control 

message: I have again asked on the Notice board for India-related topics for assistance, as I see the edit warring is still continuing. My sincere apologies to those who are genuinely trying to get the article to a neutral viewpoint, and verify factual accuracy. I hope you will soon be assisted by someone who can give you more information here on the talk page. I notice the article is up for peer review, but in the current state (Aug 5 revision) it is still quite in need of cleaning up and organizing, as well as in need of references. 
Good luck, and please visit the above page for any further issues you have. Thanks! Ariel♥Gold 21:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I have few friends with Ghosh as surname (family name), but never heard that they are of Rajput descents! I have extensively toured parts of Bihar (including north-eastern parts), West Bengal and Jharkhand, and have always an impression that Ghosh families belong to Kayastha caste. I think the page requires some real references instead of what we (the people belonging to parts of India where the Ghosh families originally resided) may have heard since childhood. --Bhadani (talk) 18:59, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the Rajput connection is attested in this paper https://www.academia.edu/42484090/Royal_katars_of_Bundi (you might need to make an account to download it). I found quite a few references to the Rajput connection in the web as well. It may be possible (though just a guess) that when the Brahmins in Bengal changed the caste system from a chatur-varna style system to a two-tier system (like in South India), where every one is either a Brahmin or a Shudra, the Ghosh Rajput connection was lost. This is perhaps because Ghoshs were confined in Bengal, unlike the other Rajputs. 173.70.92.6 (talk) 04:07, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: A comment

message: You will find that many people with this name talk of being agnivanshi rajputs. If you look at the archive to talk ghosh you may find some more information on this. In the bengal caste system the top for kayastha families Ghosh, Bose, Guha, Mitra used to only marry within these group of families and all families claim to be rajputs thus the reason for only marrying amongst these kayastha families. Reagardless rajput is a very generic name which can be applied to all Kshatriyas. Kayastha is a sub-caste of the Kshatriyas. So regardless it can be cited here in this article.

Because no one has probably ever written anything on this... besides old oral folklores...
We are writing something about Ghosh for the first time, thanks to wiki and internet...
Somethings have to be contributed by the users first-hand and then disagreements sorted out...
Sources are not possible...

Too much strict administration without room for growth will leave this article, without any information... even if there are many Ghosh who can provide information first-hand...

message: (Sorry I'm not signed in) I had given up on this page due to the childish vandalism from some contributors, but I think somewhere in the depths of the history of the page there are good versions that need review by an expert. (Basically before people started to delete non-kaystha histories and started to add exciting episodes from TV serials into the text!)
Mikka, I understand your point completely and I guess its best to leave this very light page here until we can find someone to verify the information in earlier posts.
My only request is that any expert takes the time to have a look at some of the earlier versions that I believe provide a sound foundation to be tested and verified.

== Introduction ==  + —
-  + Ghosh (Bangla ঘোষ) is a surname used by people who are mostly modern day Hindu Bengalis. Although mainly found in the state of West Bengal in India, some Ghosh families were originally found in areas in East Bengal (now in modern day Bangladesh). Ghoshes are also found across India and, as with the broader India diaspora, across the world; particularly in the US and in the UK.

Ghoshes are also found across India and, as with the broader India diaspora, across the world; particularly in the US and in the UK.    
    
  + The Ghosh surname is used by people of Israel and Lebanon. Though they are not Hindus. 
    
- == Classification of different branches of the Ghosh Family ==  + ==People with surname Ghosh==  
-  + *Acharya D.P. Ghosh  
- NOTE THIS SECTION IS IN PARTICULAR NEED OF ATTENTION FROM AN EXPERT   
-    
- The name Ghosh in Hinduism is a surname, and is meant to denote the caste, or sub-caste, of a person. Family histories, both oral and written, imply that the surname Ghosh in fact covers a range of different groups, with potentially different origins.   
-    
-    
- === 1. Kayastha Ghosh ===   
-    
- Many Ghoshes identify themselves as belonging to the "Kulin" Kayastha clan. Kayasthas are a sub-caste of Hindus, found across both historical and modern India. The Kayasthas emerged as a sub-caste of the Kshatriyas in Bengal during the 5th-11th centuries AD. Unlike Chitragupta Kayastha families in Northern India, Bengali Kayasthas claim their origin from King Bhadrasen and his Kshatriya subjects. Historically Bengali Kayasthas emerged as a sub-caste of Kshatriyas who started looking after administration in newly formed Kingdoms. Some of them even formed their own independent Kingdoms for example the Deva dynasty, Chandra dynasty, Shur dynasty etc. In medieval Bengal, Kayasthas were able to play a key role under Muslim rule by learning foreign languages such as Persian.   
-    
- After the defeat of the Afghan Karani rulers of Bengal by the Mughals at the battle of Patna in 1576, some Kayastha warlords or zamindars played a key role in resisting further incursions into the east of India. As part of the "Baro Bhuiyan" (lit. Twelve "bhuiyan" or landowners), partially independent kayastha zamindars fought for around 50 years resisting Mughal rule.   
-    
- Prominent Bara Bhuiyan who were Kayasthas included: Raja Pratapaditya, Raja Ranchandra, Raja Satrajit, Kedar Ray, Chand Ray etc. Raja Ranchandra specifically belonged to the Ghosh kulin kayastha clan.   
-    
- As a sub-caste, their position in Bengal is after the Brahmins. Other common Kayastha names include Chanda, Gupta, Nag, Aditya, Nandi, Mitra, Sil, Dhar, Kar, Datta, Rakshit, Dev, Palit, Bose, and Guha. However, many people of other sub-castes also sometimes use these surnames.   
-    
- In Bengal, Kayasthas form a developed and affluent class whose contributions to arts, crafts, science, literature, economics, education and social development are noteworthy. Their religious and social activities follow the regional patterns of Hindu tradition.    
-    
- A characteristic of Kayastha Ghosh families is that they have regarded themselves as part of a single extended family, and have preferred not to inter-marry with other Kayastha Ghosh families. However they do often practice sub-caste endogamy, preferring to marry members of other kayastha families (Bose, Mitra, Dutta, Guha etc.).   
-    
- As with most caste-based marriage traditions, these "rules" are adhered to much less strongly in modern day India, particularly in urban communities.   
-    
-    
- === 2. Kshatriya Ghosh or "Rajput" Ghosh ===   
-    
- There is a second group who identify themselves specifically as Kshatriyas.    
- Some people of these families claim association with the Kanyakubja or Kanauj Rajput who appeared in Bengal during the medieval period under Ballal Sen, who was then re-establishing a Hindu kingdom in contemporary Bengal.    
-    
- Various family accounts suggest that Kshatriya Ghoshes may have at some point been warrior caste inhabitants of northern India with Kshatriya antecedents from locations such as Kashmir, Ayodhya and ancient Mithila mentioned as points of origin. It is thought that they were brought to Bengal in order to revitalize a caste structure that had been eroded under the previous Pala Empire.Many Ghoshes who claim a Kshatriya origin, come from Vikrampur, near Dhaka (the capital of modern day Bangladesh) and surrounding areas

This is from The site about Chauhan's. It is well known that the Chauhan's were Rajput Kshatriyas. Pritviraj Chauhan was the famous king in medieval/ancient India. I don't think they will put the name of a non Rajput Kshatriya in the article. They are really exclusive about it. 
This is another instance from the StateMaster website.

But they have no relation to Kayasthas elsewhere like in UP etc who are not kshatriyas.
