Talk:Gauḍa brahmins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gauḍa brahmins comprise one of the five branches of Panch-Gauda. Gauḍa brahmins are related to regions around Haryana-Rajasthan (and also to northern Uttar Pradesh according to historical accounts). Please do not confuse Gauḍa brahmins with the geographical region Gaur in Bengal / Gauḍa, which belongs to Bengali Brahmins and not to Gauḍa brahmins. Overwhelming majority of Bengali Brahmins also belong to Panch-Gauda, but none of the Bengali Brahmins belongs to Gauḍa brahmins. I have plenty of sourced material about all these branches, and I am expanding these articles one-by-one. Please do not change titles without discussion. -Vinay_Jha 18:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
