[edit] List of Kayasthas

List of Kayasthas (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Completing a nom. Original reasoning: "according to WT:INB it was decided not to categorize people by caste". Tizio 13:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep I do not beilieve this is a categorisation-just an acknowledgement of the fact that certain individuals from a particular community have been notable.Most included in the list were staunch opponents of the caste system-Vivekananda,Aurobindo,Rajendra Prasad,Jayprakash Narayan,Premchand etc.But one cannot ignore that they came from a particular community and gives no sanction at all to the inhuman caste system.I would fully endorse not having a category whcih is dictated by caste considerations-but an article is not a category!By the same token one would have to delete any refererence to notable Mormons,Jehovah's witnesses,Shias etc etc etc.Perhaps one solution woudl eb to include only thsoe whose notability is unrelated to their caste of origin.If that is indeed an acceptable yardstick,I think there is not much wrong with this list-it is just an acknowledgement that caste delineation is still strongly prevalent in India.(Vr 05:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC))
