Talk:Varna (Hinduism)

message: Rishi Markandeya, with Vyasa, argue that in Kali Yuga there are not four varnas, but there is only one Shudra varna.
"Mahabharata" (3.188.18, 41):
ब्राह्मणाः क्षत्रिया वैश्याः संकीर्यन्तः परस्परम् ।
शूद्रतुल्या भविष्यन्ति तपःसत्यविवर्जिताः ॥ १८ ॥
ब्राह्मणाः क्षत्रिया वैश्या न शिष्यन्ति जनाधिप ।
एकवर्णस्तदा लोको भविष्यति युगक्षये ॥ ४१ ॥
Nayanar-siddh Tirumular also states that in Kali Yuga there is only one kula.
"Thirumantiram" (2104):
ஒன்றே குலமும் ஒருவனே தேவனும் நன்றே நினைமின் நமனில்லை நாணாமே சென்றே புகுங்கதி யில்லை நும் சித்தத்து நின்றே நிலைபெற நீர்நினைந் துய்மினே. 2A00:1FA0:C217:949C:714A:A9F3:BF03:9B54 (talk) 10:49, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quotes from primary sources 

message: In the Upanishads, varnas are determined not by the genealogies of people, but by the qualities of their personalities. Look in
Chandogya Upanishad 4.4.3-5,
Vajrasuchika Upanishad 5,
Niralamba Upanishad 6. 2A00:1FA0:8217:A76F:904C:9520:C709:3736 (talk) 10:15, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Varnas in the Upanishads 

message: From first hand experience, the line "The first model describes Varna as colour-coded system, through a sage named Bhrigu, "Brahmins Varna was white, Kshtriyas was red, Vaishyas was yellow, and the Shudras' black"." in the paragraph under the epics is being misunderstood/misused. I was in a 200 people seminar where the speaker used this sentence to refer to skin colour calling it discriminatory in nature.
The sentence should clearly state that this "color coded model" does not speak of one's skin color but refers to personality. White means pure which a truly learned person should be, red talks about power in kshtriyas. Yellow speaks of envy/greed in vaysas where as black denotes lack of knowledge in shudras. 
There should be more detail about rajas, tamas and satvikta here to ensure that what these colors signify is not misunderstood. 2A02:EE80:4026:3004:9407:6B58:13B2:73CD (talk) 16:28, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

message: It was not at all hierarchical. It was based on the special qualities of an individual that he or she was segregated into one of the four classes in then-society. None of his or her next generations could attain that privilege. They, according to their qualities, would stay in that Varna or had to join another one of the four if he or she did not have those qualities of being titled of an earlier Varna. 2409:40E0:45:476C:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 09:47, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

message: , An excellent rewriting which I thoroughly enjoyed. Only a few small trifling comments from me:
* Shouldn't Ancien Régime be italicised throughout?
* "the new regime": as this is in English, it shouldn't carry the accent
* Check the inconsistency in serial commas (you both use and don't use it – "Rabelais, Voltaire and Rousseau" Vvs "port, Madeira, and punch", for example)
I hope these are useful, and I look forward to seeing this with a green cross at the top. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 16:43, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I have no expert knowledge at all of this, but I suspect there is no direct connexion, similar though the sentiments are, or may be thought to be. In the 1860s, Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach wrote, "Der Mensch ist, was er ißt" (Mankind is what he eats), but a swift Googling shows that the modern phrase you quote is chiefly associated with an American nutritionist, Victor Lindlahr, who put forward the "you are what you eat" line in the 1930s and 1940s. I have not seen anything to suggest that either Feuerbach or Lindlahr was consciously reflecting Brillat-Savarin's thoughts. Tim riley talk 16:42, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

message: I'm going to restore the Spanish strenght and losses acording to Spanish sources for several reasons, but mainly because they are more revealing, setting the number of warships and their crews. In addition, I don't know if there were 21 vessels in the bay, but it's clear that the Spanish lost only 14 units (burned or damaged), of which only 5 were galleons. I think that some sources are trying to exaggerate the result of battle, either on its own initiative or because they have based their research on contemporaneous Dutch sources.

message: The lead needs someone with a talent for trimming content. The lead is way too bloated and includes a lot of unnecessary details that should only appear in the body. Unfortunately, trimming leads is not a skill I possess. The lead should summarize and highlight only the most important content from the rest of the article. Look at any other NFL team's article, even the oldest teams, and you'll see that their leads are nice and concise, and hit all the important highlights. The other content that isn't lead-worthy can be included in the body if its not already there. So, who's really good at condensing a lead? 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:FDF2:3EB5:8751:7A62 (talk) 19:39, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Father's Day

message: The gov't of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is theocratic where state affairs are governed by the king but lifestyle of the Saudis is controlled by religious elders (read, Muslim sheikhs) who would detest observance of anniversaries other than the two Islamic holidays, viz: Eid Al-Fitr & Eid Al-Adha. Never had I heard Fathers Day (Arabic, Yawm Al-Ab يوم الأب) for three decades that I lived there. Hence, it is absolutely a mistake to include Saudi Arabia as among countries observing Fathers Day on the 3rd Sunday of June.
Do rectify to add more credibility on the article.  Tomdec78 (talk) 01:52, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Welcome 

message: "Father's Day is a holiday of honoring fatherhood and paternal bonds, as well as the influence of fathers in society." Seems inaccurate.  The holiday is specifically "Father's Day" a singular possessive, not "Fathers' Day" a plural possessive. This would indicate it is about each individual father and not the collection of all fathers.
Father's Day is derived from Mother's Day. Anna Jarvis, who created and championed Mother's Day specifically calls out that "Mother's" should "be a singular possessive, for each family to honor its own mother, not a plural possessive commemorating all mothers in the world." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day). Mpeachey (talk) 18:33, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: As with many other words and terms, meaning changes over time, and differs around the world. I'm in my 70s and can long remember discussion of the day being about all mothers, not just one's own. And there's more. Mother's Day is very soon here in Australia, and I heard a discussion this morning about how this day should be focussed given the modern day acceptance of many different structures of families. Obviously some families don't include mothers, for many different reasons - two fathers, or death of a mother, for example. The same obviously applies to fathers.
