Talk:Kulin Brahmin

message: This edit removed information about the origins of Brahmoism in connection with the Kulin Brahmins. The edit summary said the material was unsouced, undue and contrary to WP:WWIN. The first of those reasons is correct; the other two make no sense to me. I am not good on Indian religious movements. Can it be sourced? - Sitush (talk) 05:20, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

message: Are varendra brahmins also considered as Kulin? I think I have read somewhere, but I have to re-look. If someone has the knowledge and perspective, please answer. It will be helpful. Thanks.Chanchaldm (talk) 09:59, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: As per my knowledge, Varendra and Rarhi are regional divisions, got nothing to do with Kulin or non-Kulin, i.e. they may or may not be Kulin. I need to check once again! Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 11:37, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I was asking as any of the given surnames aren't of Varendra Brahmins. Further I am not sure if Bhattcharjee surname is exclusively of Kulin brahmins. If there's any substantial basis of my doubt, I think the article needs some addition. Thanks Ekdalian for your response.Chanchaldm (talk) 17:47, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I have doubts regarding the Bhattacharjees, it's here since the source says so! Chanchaldm, are you talking about the Varendra Brahmins or the Bangaja Brahmins? Ekdalian (talk) 07:26, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I remember, I read somewhere, Kulin brahmins had two regional divisions-Rarhi(Bannerjee, Mukherjee, Chatterjee, Ganguly, Ghoshal) and Varendra(Maitra, Bagchi, Sanyal, Bhaduri, Lahiri). Kulin brahmins may have few other Surnames too. I have to re-check. Chanchaldm (talk) 08:30, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Ghoshal, Maitra, Bagchi, Sanyal, Bhaduri, Lahiri are all non-Kulins as per my knowledge. Ekdalian (talk) 08:46, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Ekdalian please check page 147. I have always seen Bannerjee, Mukherjee, Chatterjee, Ganguly as Kulin surnames, but for other Surnames I have got confusing views.Chanchaldm (talk) 11:48, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Chanchaldm; there is confusion among authors, IMO. As per my knowledge & understanding, Bhattcharjee and Chakrabarti (& it's variations) were titles given to priestly Brahmins and are not surnames. Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 12:58, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Ekdalian  please see page 1. Bhattcharjee isn't here, but Ghoshal is.Chanchaldm (talk) 14:01, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right, Chanchaldm; but I believe the source is incorrect! Ekdalian (talk) 14:24, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, this doesn't look like a good source. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:34, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely, Fylindfotberserk; not a reliable source. Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 14:37, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Fylindfotberserk, Will you please look in the matter? I have confusion what is the fifth Kulin brahmin surname.Chanchaldm (talk) 15:36, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Same. Bhattacharyas are titles given to priest of highest order so it got Kulin status. But it is not a surname as it does not have one particular gotra. Fifth brahmin is probably Ghoshal but I feel they lost Kulin status like the Duttas Of Kayasthas. Mikemarssss (talk) 08:08, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Varendra Brahmin

message: I propose merging Kulin Brahmin into Bengali Brahmin. These two articles are so identical. I think we can just add a seperate section in Bengali Brahmin article to describe the Kulin Brahmins who are just a sub-caste of Bengali Brahmins. JudeB5 (talk) 19:15, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
