Talk:Rashtrakutas

message: It has been well established in the article that Rashtrakutas were of Kannada Origin. It has also been mentioned that they were of Dravidian Cultivator origin. The chief cultivating caste of Karnataka are the Vokkaligas. Kindly mention the possible Vokkaliga origin.
Shetty, Sadanand Ramakrishna (1994). Banavasi Through the Ages. Banavasi (India): Printwell. p. 121.:“The community of the land tillers or agriculturists was known as vokkaligas. The importance given to the cultivation of land is amply demonstrated by the fact that numerous tanks were dug and irrigational facilities were provided at various places. Some of the Rashtrakuta inscriptions found in the Banavasimandala carry the depiction of a plough at the top. There is a view that the Rashtrakutas were originally prosperous cultivators, who later on dominated the political scene. Some of the inscriptions refer to them as Kutumbinah which is interpreted as meaning cultivators.”

replies: text: That the early Rashtrakutas may have been Kannadigas is already emphasized in the article. The fact that the Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta were surely of Kannada origin has been mentioned again. No need to further give a caste designation as Vokkaligas. Makes no sense.Pied Hornbill (talk) 13:58, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Of the various books that I have read up on Rashtrakutas, this must be the only one that gives a caste connotation to Kannadiga origin. Better to keep it general.Pied Hornbill (talk) 12:30, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

message: Citation missing for the following sentence under Architecture section:
“Other famous rock-cut temples in the Maharashtra region are the Dhumer Lena and Dashvatara cave temples in Ellora (famous for its sculptures of Vishnu and Shivaleela) and the Jogeshvari temple near Mumbai.”
Were these temples built by Rashtrakutas too? Clarity needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:578A:90AE:8166:FF8F:F57E:AA30 (talk) 14:06, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Citation missing

message: There are no proper links for editors to check validity of the claims in this article for example, in society section it is extensively given that sati practice was prevalent but no link is given for readers to cross check the fact. The para even goes as far as saying that there are examples of members of royal family self immolating but does not give any proof of it. Should this be allowed?

replies: text: Rashtrakuta Empire →  – Ngram graph  suggests that the term Rashtrakutas have been used throughout commonly, and much WP:RS refers it in similar way. In JSTOR, 320 results for "Rashtrakutas"  288 results for "Rashtrakuta dynasty" , and 17 results for "Rashtrakuta Empire" . The pattern repeats in most of the WP:RS Imperial[AFCND] 18:54, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
