Please KEEP this Article.

Karkarthar is a caste in Hindu Religion in Tamilnadu of South India.

Let me know if you require any clarification

from pasupathi k pillai i want to gently remind the spelling is Karkathar = means the people who guarded the KAR = the rain clouds. so pls mention the mis spelling as KARKARTHAR i also used to do this mistake before pls visit www.karkathar.com and www.saivaneri.org for more info thanks

Karalar

Is karalar same as karkathar or is it different? ShivNarayanan (talk) 17:22, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who knows. This edit mentions a source but the citation is so poor that I have no idea of who Neelson may be nor what book/article they wrote. - Sitush (talk) 17:55, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Karalar: kar-cloud , alar-rulers for reference look into INDIA COMMUNITIES by v.k singh published by oxford press and karkathar:kar-cloud , kathar-controllers/rulers this phrase is already has its abbreviation in article itself ,think these proofs will relieve you from your confusion.

That will not do, sorry. We need proper, working citations - pages numbers, isbn numbers etc. And the source has to explicitly link the two words. It is very common for castes etc to claim origins that are far more ancient than are actually documented. Eg: Ahir/Abhira, Yadav/Yadava, the Vellama etc. That's one reason why only 1900 castes were documented in 1901 and yet Singh's project managed to find over 4000. - Sitush (talk) 20:28, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I understood , thanks for educating me about the criteria's. since I am new to wiki I was not aware of it. here are the details required : ISBN number-0195633547 , page no - 1576, so from this citation its clear that "karalar"& "karkathar" arrives at same meaning so obviously , the citation "karalar sanbai" (karalar-karkathar , sanbai-one of the twelve names of city sirkazhi) present in literature "manimekalai" clearly represents "city sirkazhi of karkathar". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.45.226.72 (talk) 11:33, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
