Talk:Karva Chauth

message: I am going to propose renaming this to Karva Chauth. This is the default pronunciation in Hindi as opposed to Karwa Chauth. See: bit.ly/aSmraY. Due to v-w partial allophone relationship in Hindi, sometimes people are indiscriminate about transliterating 'व'. In this case व follows an 'r' sound and the Hindi default pronunciation for that is 'v' as opposed to 'w'. Please see the paper. --Hunnjazal (talk) 05:28, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Rename to Karva Chauth

message: I have not been able to find a single reference to support observance of Karva Chauth by Barelvis. I don't know how it ended-up in this article. I am going to leave it with a cite-flag for a couple of weeks more at least, but will then delete the Barelvi reference unless a valid ref has been found. --Hunnjazal (talk) 19:30, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Deleting it. If it is reinserted, please add refs. --Hunnjazal (talk) 16:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Celebration by Barelvis - Really?

message: The section "Sikhism and Karva Chauth" reads like it has been written solely with the intention of discouraging women who may profess the Sikh faith from celebrating Karva Chauth and observing fasts.
If, indeed, there are Sikh women that observe the fast, then that fact should be noted.  Otherwise, this section sounds like it's coming out of nowhere and is irrelevant.  Perhaps something like, "While X percentage of Sikh women in India are known to observe the fast, Sikh orthodoxy discourages, etc, etc" could be added to the article.
Also, if this is a recurring theme (that of some Sikhs celebrating holidays or customs that are contrary to Sikh teachings), then perhaps this section should be separated into its own article that covers all similar instances with an in-depth discussion of why it is frowned upon and why it is a recurring issue.
