Are there really any tulu christians

hey there aren't any tulu christians left anywhere.most are assimilated with konkani catholics or are reconverted to hindu faith.the madhva monastries and Hindu nationalism is pretty strong a force in mangalore.though there are a few koraga christians,but koraga is listed as a separate language.They can't be added as tuluva.Tulu culture is pretty much hindu and the remaining jain.Koragas are listed as a separate ehtnic group though they associate more with tulu than kannada.what is Tulu chritian culture?.Most protestant churches sing kannada konkani hyms not tulu except the pavoor church.Beary muslims can be classified as Tulu since beary find mention even in paddanas.there is vibrant mangalorean konkani christian culture not tulu.Muskeeter8 (talk) 03:49, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new sections to the bottom of the page. Or just click on "New Section" to add a new topic. There are Christians among Tulus. I had added a referece some time back but someone removed it. I have added it back. Hope that erases any doubts. --Deepak D'Souza 05:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i doubt there are tulu christiansAttagirl (talk) 05:14, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that some ethnicities have strong relations with a particular religion. For example, the Arab identity is strongly related with Islam. Likewise, the Tuluva identity is strongly related with Hinduism and Jainism. But on Wikipedia, irrespective of what anyone considers, all religions have to be represented. Forget Christianity, even if there any Muslim Tuluvas or Buddhist Tuluvas, even they have to be mentioned.

2001 statistics of Tulu Nadu from the Diocese of Mangalore clearly states that there are 60,434 Protestants. Are you trying to say, none are Tulu-speaking. Kensplanet^T _C 05:24, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously doubt the presence of Tulu christains, most of the articles on the net do not mention any thing about Tulu Christains, except for the sources provided above most of which are christain sites. We need some neutral source. The word Christian can be taken out of the infobox and be mentioned in the para.188.54.84.236 (talk) 18:31, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IP dont delete the majority of the article when you disagree with somone, it looks like an edit war in the article history, ive removed the warnings linguistic gave you, but it looks like you may have a history of blanking articles to cause an edit war, don't do that please--Lerdthenerd (talk) 18:59, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for removing the warning issued by Linguistic to me. I have no intension to start an edit war. My point is large edits as the one made by linguistic needs to be discussed. Until a discussion is made, let the original version be in the article.188.54.14.205 (talk) 13:17, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

what is the problem with the content.you mean to say other communities are irrelevant even if they have articles.that's not how wiki works see Malayali article.anyways this article is stub.expansion is required.`13:26, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

This article is about Tuluvas and a brief description of each communities is not required. Each community has its own page and is hyperlinked. So anyone who wants to know more about the communities can click on the hyperlink. Also description of each community make this article looks un-encyclopedic. 188.52.8.156 (talk) 05:45, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

sorry but all you have done with your dynamic ip is remove hyper links of shivalli brahmins,tuluva gowda,devadiga,sthanika brahmins etc.that is pure vandalism.do you think i don't see the edit history.the article is a stub description abt various communities does not violate any rule.and also please stop removing kannada fonts from other articles.LinguisticGeek 07:02, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While I have removed the hyper links, I have stated the reason. You could have contested the edit here and then itself. This discussion is about the current edit. Don't bring in old issues. We can have a discussion for it also. Now by adding brief descriptions of various communities does not violate any rule, by definitely it make the article look shabby and un-encyclopedic. Discussing the edit and comming to conclusion is better than protecting the article. 188.52.8.156 (talk) 07:54, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Picture at the begining of the article

It would be better if we include a sport person's pic also in the group. Kindly suggest some names for inclusion, of which one pic can be finalised 117.198.108.120 (talk) 04:23, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
