It seems that some people in your editing team are prejudiced against Bhumihar Brahmins. They want to paint the community in a negative light as if the whole community sides with retrograde organizations like Ranvir Sena. Apart from that, they seem to have read little, and rely on some obscure sources to write about their origin. I can bet that they have not read Swami Sahajanand Saraswati's works. First they should read it and then reach their own conclusions. And many other writers who have not written positively about the community have not read his works. What kind of rearch is this, and how can an encyclopedia run like this. The greatest of Communist and Socialist leaders have come from Bhumihar Brahmins and this fact is conveniently overlooked. - An ardent student of Law and History —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.225.244.42 (talk) 09:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

This is not a place to publicize your community or spread misinformation. -Ravichandar 01:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. Nobody is prejudiced against the Bhumihars, as the IP claims. There is just one sentence about Ranvir Sena in the article. The article also states the Bhumihars have played an important role in the social and political movements of Bihar. The article talks about Sahajanand's claims as well. If any of the sources is "obscure", it's Sahajanad's work, not others.

The "ardent student of Law and History" seems to be hellbent on turning the article into an ethnic propaganda piece. utcursch | talk 04:19, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
