Talk:Kuruba

Protection request

There has been a edit warring going on here without reaching consensus on talk page, I would request to stop this. The person is reverting the changes from IP address. Anthony gomes 92 (talk) 02:34, 17 August 2021 (UTC).

Not done: If there is indeed an edit war occurring on this page I believe this would be better reported to WP:RFPP/WP:AVI if it's straight vandalism or WP:ANI if there are regular editors involved and other dispute resolution has been exhausted. But the editors monitoring the edit requests will generally be unable to be help. Cheers! —Sirdog9002 (talk) 03:35, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

References

Before you make Edits and Add comments, Note these:

I have searched various sources and studied lots of backgrounds to add correct information and citations. If anyone tries to vandalise or tries to remove any contents without giving adequate and satisfactory reasons in the talk page or adding unnecessary material, would lose their editing capabilities and arbitrators of Wikipedia would be called to remove their account's capabilities and would be tagged as unworthy.

Maintain dignity. This is not anybody's casteist political magazines. This is Wikipedia.

Any one can cite any reference be it old or new. All are valid unless they are spurious in content. In this way I have gathered various amounts of information to make necessary changes. The inscriptional studies are very very important even though they are old. The Much older the inscriptions and histories, more valid it is in order to trace the history. So histories are very very important.

And one should understand differences between between SC and ST. Both are different. The Government of India vests interests in protecting the downtrodden castes and hence they are scheduled Castes.

And Kurubas are not backward castewise. They are backward economically and educationally when COMPARED with the ECONOMICALLY AND EDUCATIONALLY A BIT HIGHER to the Kurubas (Other OBCs above Kurubas) and MUCH HIGHER than the Kurubas (Those in General Merit). But, this has nothing to do with the history of the Kurubas. The history and the future of the Kurubas will always remain great.

The status of castes in any particular region many times depends on population and beliefs. A backward class considered high somewhere may be seen low elsewhere. Includes factors such as Population, Economy and Personal interests of people.

Scheduled Tribe refers to the forest people who have had nothing to do with the castes. They would have had minimal touch or lost touch with the society for many centuries and got separated either to the failures in their wars in order to hide from enemies or they led their life in forests. Forests are the source of creation on the planet. Before civilizations existed forests existed and humans were tribal irrespective of whatever their religion or caste status. As a result, Tribals are valued in every country and they are usually rich with respect to medicinal plants in the forests and they help in Anthropology. Therefore they are 'Scheduled' (reserved) to be protected by the Government. All people residing in Villages and cities have changed themselves so much from their tribal nature and have forgotten histories for many thousands of years. So, it is advantageous to study how people develop from forests. Hence they are important assests as far as researches are concerned. Be Humans! And remember we are all Humans first!

This is not the platform to show who is great. Wikipedia exists in order to document actual facts. Not for quarrels.

And All Kurubas in Karnataka are not obtaining ST reservations. Currently the reservation is for Kadu Kurubas, Betta Kurubas, Jenu Kurubas who have shown themselves to be tribal. Of course, Both Village and City Kurubas are distinct both socially and ethnically from Kadu Kurubas, And also the word kuruba may mean both Shepherds(kuri in kannada= Sheep) and Hill-people (kuri also means hills in Southern karnataka and few states) according to regions, further studies need to be done.

In other castes, such as Halakki Vokkaligas are demanding for ST status. Konda Reddys are STs

Forward castes refers to the increase in the economic and social status of castes. All castes which were considered backward would be examined routinely to analyze their situations of their backward status. If any community works sufficiently and able to go forward from their backward nature, they are considered as Forward Castes. This definition does not apply to the people who were classified as General Merits already immediately after Independence of India.

And with the existing situation the forward castes which are listed in Central list have remained backward in State List and claiming reservations. And even the forwarded castes that come under general category may sooner or later would get reservations as has been ordered by the Supreme Court.

Taking all these into consideration, you should consider your comments. If unnecessary edits are noticed then we will urge wikipedia to take strict action against those account. CSCM01 (talk) 00:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
