Talk:Agastya

Merge notice

As Agastya is a more widely used name across India and since this article is more comprehensive, I suggest that this article be retained with Agastyar converted into a re-direct. I'd wait for comments till the 4th of November before merging these articles. --Gurubrahma 06:42, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Neutrality disputed

Recent edits from 25 March 2011 have induced the POV that Agastya was never a Sanskrit speaker and rubbishes his Indo-Aryan origins claim. Statements like "The fact of Agastya's leadership of Velir clan rules out the possibility that he was even in origin an Indo-Aryan speaker.", " The fact of Agastya’s leadership of the Velir clan rules out the possibility that he was even in origin an Aryan sage" based on a single author, does not reflect the opinion of the whole academic community, but just of a scholar. These statements are opinions, NOT facts. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 04:55, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
