Talk:Rajpurohit

Removed the section Notable Rajpurohits

I have removed the section. Not only did it contain someone's opinion ("it is truly unfortunate"...), but most people on the list are likely not notable in the Wiki-sense. If such a list is really necessary, in my opinion it should be prepared here on this talk page, and it should contain only people who already have a wiki-page or who are likely to have one at some point because their notability is not questionable. -- O.Koslowski (talk) 09:09, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Cleaned up

I have just removed 90+% of the article, because it was entirely ensourced. WP:V, one of the cornerstones of Wikipedia policy, requires that all information in Wikipedia be verifiable in reliable sources. It is always better to have less information that is verified than to have big swathes of unverified info. In addition, quite a fair amount of what I removed shouldn't be in the article even if verified; for example, we don't want a laundry list of every village that every sub-caste has people in--that simply goes beyond what a general encyclopedia should offer.

Others are welcome to expand the article, so long as you do so with reliable sources. I tried searching, but couldn't find anything particularly noteworthy. I found a source mentioning the Rajpurohits as one of a number of other groups who had enrolled in government work assistance at a minimal level, and another source mentioning some environmental differences they have with the Bishnoi, but not enough in either place that I could really justify inclusion. One difficulty with searching for info is the fact that Rajpurohit is also a common surname, and thus there are many false positives in searches. But if anyone knows of good sources, please do add them; if you need help formatting the sources, please post them here and I'll assist. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:01, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

I've just trawled through the near-100 hits at JSTOR for Rajpurohit. Without exception, they all relate to academics bearing that name, and they are mostly articles about wolves, bears, primates and mangroves. Tellingly, there is nothing about this community in Economic and Political Weekly, nor does JSTOR return any hits for the plural of the community name.

I've added an entry in Further Reading for the Anthropological Survey of India study but please can we remember that this is from the "states" series - rather than the "national" series that was published by Cambridge University Press. The states series has frequently been considered to be of dubious reliability - there is some background here - and I'm a bit loathe to see it used as a source. - Sitush (talk) 16:54, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

There is also nothing using my view of GBooks, aside from the aforementioned dubious People of India volume. Is this group really notable? - Sitush (talk) 18:31, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Ambiguity of the word "community"

It is the word "community" that is ambiguous in the lead to Rajpurohit. Community for many people means "place" as in settlement. It does not have a meaning of "cultural group" for some people. Thus a "community of people" for them still means a place. We need to be clear. --Bejnar (talk) 19:06, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

We've not long since gone through a tedious semantics debate on another article, where a recent previous such debate had resulted in an indef block for someone else. As there, this statement is perfectly obvious in context. I find "cultural community" to be vague: like most people, I belong to several of what I think you mean by "cultural communities" (deaf people, British people, Mancunians, Wikipedians etc) and I doubt that many of them would recognise the term but when you see "community of people living in ..." it is blindingly obvious. But feel free to call them a caste if you want and the sources support it (and by "sources", I do not mean government lists because their classification system is very weird). - Sitush (talk) 19:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC).

Speaking as someone with a background in English, ESL, and linguistics, there is no ambiguity there because of the sentence afterwards. Since the second sentence contains the leading verb "They", we can know that the word "Rajpurohit" must be referring to a thing which can be both singular (as it is in the first sentence) and plural (as in the second); there aren't many things in that class, and the only one that applies to the word "community" is "a group of people with some form of shared identity, internally given or externally imposed". Now, if it would help matters, we could change the first sentence to read "The Rajpurohit are a community of people". Would that be more clear for you Bejnar?

Addition of unsourced material

Rajpurohit-Veer and Arunsingh2, I have removed the information again as it is unsourced and extremely POV. If you want to add the material, it needs to be accompanied by reliable sources. This info was culled back in 2012 with this edit by Qwyrxian. If the info cannot be sourced, then it cannot be in the article. Period. Ishdarian 07:31, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Rajpurohit, you may be blocked from editing. -- Atama頭 22:35, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

U should add more

You forgot my village name (Sawai chhoti)

Earlier in this article more information was given after Modi Ji talked about Kheteshwar maharaj all the information about was removed from this page because Wikipedia was knowing that people will search about Rajpurohits and they will know that Dronacharya were our ancestor and people's believe in Hindutva will increase as it will prove that "Mahabharat" is not fictional. Wikipedia want that people's believe in hinduism doesn't increase.

Rajpurohit Caste is a Brahma-Kshatriya Caste which means that they have the qualities of Kshatriyas as well as of Brahmins. They fought various battles from time to time to save there state and to represent there importance in past as you visit Mehrangarh Fort of Jodhpur you will see various "Chatris" of Rajpurohit warrious like Guman Singh ji etc. Rajpurohits were not the priest they were the gurus. They do not perform puja paths, they use to perform the rituals like Rajya-bhishek etc. Bhaba Shailesh Rajpurohit (talk) 08:04, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
