untitled

Amazingly incisive article!, I never thought a topic as quaint as this would merit such an interesting Narration. This is one of the reasons why WikiPedia is really Great. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.203.47.89 (talk) 05:08, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Madiga caste is different from chamar caste.madiga caste is called matangs in North india 157.44.163.123 (talk) 05:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

The source cited discusses them as though it were a unified community. The Chamar article identifies chamar as sometimes being used as a generic/pejorative term for untouchability. Wikipedia needs a reliable source to cite if there is a distinction between the two communities since the current source discusses them as if they were synonymous or overlapping designations. --Spasemunki (talk) 06:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Caste name used as a slur

"Madiga" is also used as a derogatory word, similar to many other castes like Chamar and Bhangi.

The sixth paragraph on this source claims that "Madiga" was used as a slur until a few influential Madigas replaced their surnames with the word to reclaim it. https://www.thenewsminute.com/telangana/madiga-dandora-force-no-political-party-can-ignore-or-control-167146 Gexillology (talk) 05:43, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
