Talk:List of Khandayats

Mention all Odia Khandayats/Kshatriyas here

Hello, this is "list of Khandayats" talk page. Feel free to leave any personalities relating to media, journalism, industry, politics, literature, and religion from the Khandayat community with the proper web or book source here at this talk page so we could crosscheck the personalities. I have added a few personalities so far with their proper citations. Also if you feel to remove any due to citing error or article issue, let us all know in this talk page. Let me know of other personalities. Thanks...Sadaryohan (talk) 17:04, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

This list needs some massive pruning. See User:Sitush/Common#Castelists. - Sitush (talk) 08:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know about the castelists.... Whether or not they associate or disassociate themselves is not the question. Lot of them are secular in the civic sense, so caste doesn't come into the picture... But still caste is not religious belief, which you can forego in a decade even, let alone in an instant. All members mentioned on the page are of that community, and I have verified it extensively, both from sources and living in Odisha and knowing about this topic, so that I can guarantee that I take these measures into consideration before placing their name here. Also, I don't claim their caste status just by their last name, as last name can be a confusing idea when last names sometimes overlap, as in the case of Odisha, among "uppercastes".

Nearly all the citations were fake: I've removed them. Suggest merging this to Khandayat, unless someone has plans to expand the list with proper references. utcursch | talk 23:20, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Merge seems good. - Sitush (talk) 23:35, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Actually, I've now redirected after finding that the remaining three people in the list have no verification of self-identifying. NB: Sadaryohan was blocked for socking. - Sitush (talk) 10:20, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
