Caldwell

Caldwell's "A comparative grammar of the Dravidian or South-Indian family of languages" deals with the languages families of south India. His claim was that the south Indian languages were different from the north Indian, and hence that the south Indians were culturally different from the north. He never claimed that the south Indians were genetically different from the north Indians. User:Bharatveer's proof for claiming Caldwell was "erroneous" is a reference from the The Hindu news paper article dealing with the genetic makeup of India. It is therefore irrelevant to the article in the context. - Parthi ^{talk/contribs} 20:12, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Parthy, That it is irrelevant is just your opinion .-Bharatveer 04:16, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand! The Hindu article is about the genetic makeup of India. It is not my opinion. It is there in black and white. Caldwell did not say south Indians were genetically different. Don't start another revert war Bhartveer. Don't blindly revert as you usually do. - Parthi ^{talk/contribs} 05:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dravidian culture

The article called Dravidian culture which I wrote, I suggested be merged with this. Now I have decided that this will not be appropriate as that article is more historical, hence I will rename it 'Ancient Dravidian culture'. --Avedeus (talk) 00:17, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Aramundi"

Can someone please delete a large portion of this section. It is disparaging, and archaic practice and said section goes into excessive detail about child nudity.PiPhiTau (talk) 00:49, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in South Indian culture

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of South Indian culture's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "eb-calico":

From Calico: Encyclopædia Britannica (2008). "calico".
From Kozhikode: Encyclopædia Britannica (2008). calico

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:56, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
