etymology

(debate moved from user sodabottle's talk page to here. Basically, user Sasisekar is introducing sourced info to replace the present partly sourced info about the origins of the name "pandyan")--Sodabottle (talk) 07:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spaceman, you're paranoid: [1],[2]. Whatever. Sasisekar (talk) 06:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your version (Early pandyan kingdom) says "Sarangdwaja participated in the Kurukshetra". This is wrong not to mention unreferenced. His name is Malayadwaja. Read the link that I gave. "In sangam tamil lexicon, Pandya means old country", ha!. Pandyan kingdom is considered old country as it was the first kingdom but it does not mean "old country" nor is the word Pandya derived from it.Sasisekar (talk) 07:33, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry we can discuss here. If i can refrain from reverting Fconaway's edit (he reverted mine) last week, I can refrain from reverting yours. Sasisekar (talk) 07:38, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is not "my version". So if you can replace unreferenced assertions with referenced parts please go ahead. All i ask is this - Make a mention of the fact there are different theories floating around. and always attribute the source, like "nanamudhan devaneyan says pandiyan is derived from "pandi" and . And "nilakanta sastri has claimed it as having originated from the name for old Tamil country". Since there is difference among historians and tamil scholars about the origin of the name, we should mention that is a difference too.--Sodabottle (talk) 07:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is this : Even if we know that some of the theories are wrong (for example, nilakanta sastri only had basic Tamil knowledge and certainly no knowledge about sangam literature, so probably his version is suspect here), we can only point to other published works that refute those theories. So instead of replacing a version entirely, just put everything in saying "X says this, Y says this" and they differ.--Sodabottle (talk) 07:51, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I will add all theories. Sasisekar (talk) 23:01, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
