This articel is the work of your RACISM! No author chauvinistically ever mentioned the term 'Brahmanical See'. Brahmin is a Sanskrit word, then 'ical' is a English extension and 'See' is a Latin word! Nexxt 1

Brahmanical See

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Brahmanical See, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Brahmanical See.

Bogus references

The "references" for this article were added by Cite Machine (talk · contribs) here. It looks like he ran a search on JSTOR and took a couple of likely looking citations -- the sum total of his contributions to WP. The Sahu article is available online, and says nothing about "Brahmanacal sees". The Monier-Williams reference looks bogus too. The Peabody-Fuller-Mayer article is only 2 pages: it's probably a note more than an article. These "references" are basically bogus. rudra (talk) 09:59, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
