Request for Inclusion/Update on Girth Caste (Kshatriya Varna) on Wikimedia
[edit]
Dear Wikimedia Editor,
I would like to request the inclusion or update of information regarding the Girth caste on Wikimedia, specifically clarifying that the Girths belong to the Kshatriya varna. This is substantiated by scholarly sources and documented fieldwork.
One such reference is from the book by D.K. ChoudharyVerna Status, where the author cites Parry (1979) on page 121. The relevant excerpt highlights the historical and social relationship between Girths and Rajputs:
"The Girths revolt left many Rajputs in something of a quandary since traditionally Girths have been their domestic servants... But in their attempt to claim a higher status the Girths have refused to do this sort of menial work... They boycotted those of their members who continued to work for the Rajputs on same old basis."
The author then notes:
Presently, the Ghrists do not claim themselves to be Rajputs but are not ready to part with their legitimate, genuine and historical status of being Kshatriyas. This clearly indicates that the Girth caste identifies historically and socially with the Kshatriya varna, although they distinguish themselves from Rajputs.
In addition to this, the book provides an ethnographic description of Girth village life, emphasizing their independent agrarian lifestyle and communal structures, which further supports their recognition as a distinct Kshatriya community with a non-servile self-image.
I believe this documentation justifies the inclusion of the Girth caste under the Kshatriya varna on Wikimedia. I am happy to provide scans or citations if needed for verification.
Thank you for your attention to this request.
