I propose incoporate discussion of Caste in that article and leave a very minimal entry here. Most of what's here now belongs in Caste, it seems to me. I'll wait a few days to see if anyone objects. -- Bill 18:48, 11 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Kayasthas

Kayasthas are not Vaishyas. Why did you put Kayasthas under Vaishya? ..Justify. Stop doing this vandalism. This scholarly writing will tell you more about Kayasthas. http://www.jstor.org/view/00219118/di973697/97p0562s/0?frame=noframe&userID=8068be19@wisc.edu/01cc99334100501e7d08c&dpi=3&config=jstor

Vaishyas have different page on wikipedia and Kayasthas have different page. Please remember to sign your posts by writing ~~~~ after your post.--nids 21:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism by IPKapoor

The user IPKapoor has been vandalizing several articles, including Khatri, its talk page. He as deleted and redirected several pages. He has also created several pages just to redirect them to this page.

He is certainly not a Khatri or a Vaishya or a Kayasth, because he knows very little about them.

see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20060823110015&limit=50&target=IPKapoor

He will probably vandalize this page also. Please watch for that. --Vikramsingh 23:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
