The beginning paragraph has an incorrect hyperlink: the 'warrior' link leads to the 'Kshatriya' page. This should be corrected to the linked page's name.

The beginning paragraph has an incorrect usage Nair(Kshatriya). Nair is not Kshatriya, please see Nair article, itself talk that nair is sat-sudra. So it must be corrected. Lot of ip vandals have pushed Kshatriya to these related articles.

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Jenmi. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{subst:EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Lead mentioned the social role of Namboothiri as priests but not mentioned role of Nairs. As only those eminent families of Nairs were Jenmi and not all of them, the social role should be mentioned as Naduvazhi.

X: They predominantly belonged to the Nair and Nambudiri (Brahmin priest) castes.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Y: They were predominantly from the Nair (feudal chieftains)^[4] and Nambudiri (Brahmin priest) castes.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] ~2026-33990-91 (talk) 06:59, 10 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
