thread_title: Correction Request

message: It's already been pointed out on this page many times but I'm going to say it again so someone will take notice. Pehlwani is Persian and NOT Indian. The Mughals brought it over and it got mixed with the local forms of wrestling. I don't know what is the difference between traditional pehlwani and the Indian version but both are noticably different from traditional Indian wrestling. I presume that the confusion came up because the word pehlwan was absorbed into Hindi so many wrestlers are called pehlwans even if they just fight WWE style. But pehlwan doesn't necessarily mean wrestler, it could also be used for any fighter. A separate article about Indian wrestling could use the pictures and some of the information from this article but there are still a lot of corrections to be made.
That wouldn't actually work because this article is about the Indian form of Pehlwani just like Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I do think that the history section focuses too much on Malla Yuddha instead of Pehlwani. Someone ought to fix that.-Morinae 14:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: No where will you find that mulla yuddha is written as a true wrestling martial art. It was taken from an e-mail to a website and one user (freedom skies) has unfortunately stretched it to claim that mulla yuddha came from the religious epics with Bhima practicing mulla yuddha. Alter in his book writes that mullayuddha is a generic term for wrestling.  Kennethtennyson 00:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I would say that kusti or kushti is the more well-known term in English for Indian wrestling, and in my experience it is also the more commonly used word in Hindi. So why is this article named pehlwani instead of kushti? Morinae (talk) 07:33, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

message: What is Draeger and Smith's rationale for claiming that Indian wrestling predates the Aryan migration into India? The date given, 5th century BC, is by all accounts nearly a millennium after the migration began (the absolute latest figure I've seen in 13th C. B.C., but others estimate it could have begun as far back as 2500 BC.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.247.93.212 (talk) 07:56, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The 5th century date comes from a different source, and simply states that Indian wrestling has been practiced since at least that time. Draeger and Smith actually say Indian wrestling is 5000 years old, as is stated in the malla-yuddha article. Morinae (talk) 07:02, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
