Talk:Sethi

Discussions

There is an ancient community in Sri Lanka called the Colombo Chetties which also traces its ancestry to sethis in the Benares and Coorg areas The late President J R Jayawardena too belonged to this clan so are the Lamkarna Dynasty which ruled Sri Lankan for 350 years. a more detailed account could be had from the Google serch under The Colombo Chetties written by me.

More info in this regard will be greatly appreciated, also could someone tell me if these clans are connected. ?

The Sethi's are definitely NOT connected with the Chetties, because the Sethi's trace their ancestry with indo-sycthian's from the region of North Afghanistan and Eastern Iran. Where as the Chetties belong to the Vaisya Caste, and trace their ancestry with the Tamils,

The Ricky Sethi's community link is specific to his family. I don't think it should be listed. --Firehazrd (talk) 19:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Request to include Sethi as jatt community

pls as i saw that users "Vigyani" and "Sigma bot" are not of this view, so please correct the information provided on wikipediau. Devil badshah (talk) 16:31, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

First you should stop creating new accounts. That is against wikipedia policies. Please read WP:SOCK. 2nd Sigma bot is not a real user, it is just a computer program. 3rd, as I have been telling you via edit summaries, you need to bring reference about the fact you state. Everything on WP is verifiable. Please read WP:VER. It is not that I am against your view about Sethi as Jatt community, but how do I know that it is correct, how do I know that you are not lying.--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 16:50, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

talk to editor

vigyani bro i want to contact you how can i? another thing, as i live in punjab, i am sure and 100% that sethis are jatts.even my few close one are sethis and also jatts. now i dont know how can i provide a source. please help bro. Devil badshah (talk) 04:18, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello, we can talk here only. But one thing, you do not need to create new section every time. You can indent your post/messages in the same section. For that you can click on the edit button close to each section or just click below the last message in a given discussion to add your response or reply.

1. Now about Sethi's. Sethi's are both Jatt(Sikh) and Hindus, which is same with most of the Arora/Khatri castes. While I do now know personally any Jatt Sethi, I know some Hindu sethi's who are essential businessmen or bananiyas (shopkeeper). Sethi's in Malout are Hindus.--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 04:44, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
2. Now about adding the information to Wikipedia. The problem is that everything we add into Wikipedia should be verifiable i.e. it should have proper sources. Reason is while you and me can believe that Sethi are Jatt or Hindu etc. A person from a totally different area for example from Africa won't know this for sure. So when he will read on Wikipedia, he may want to verify the information. In simple words, just assume that someone from Canada says that Sethi's are not Jatt or Hindu, Sethi's are christian or something else (just an example). He may also say that I know some sethi's who are christians. So to resolve such situations wikipedia has made the rule or policy to that all the information on wikipedia should have valid sources.
3. What are the sources. Sources are any newspaper report, any book, any survey done by a reputed agency for example a news published in Tribune, Ajit or Jagbani etc which says that Sethi belongs to this communities. When such a source is found, then that information can be added.
4. Like you, I also want to add many facts and information to various wikipedia articles, which I believe to be true, but I can not added if I do not find any source to support my claim. So they I try to do google search, read newspapers, try to find books on the subject etc.

I hope above posts answers some of your questions. You can always more questions. A very useful to ask questions is WP:Teahouse, where plenty of experience editors are ready to help.--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 04:44, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

the edits made in the topic"Sethi"

The above edits made by me in the topic are provided refernce from the highest Sikh Centre "AKAL TAKHT". No further edits to be made hereby. Any disputes invited to Punjab High Court. Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh Akash singh sandhu (talk) 05:09, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Although I do not see any problem with your recent edits, but note that legal threat are not allowed on Wikipedia. The line you mentioned about "Any disputes invited to Punjab High Court" is a legal threat. I will ask you to withdraw it. On an other note, you seems to as some one who actually want to contribute to wikipedia. So I suggest you try to follow wikipedia policies, which will only help you more.--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 05:31, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Dear i am currently working as an e-affairs officer for gurudwaras. Someone brought to my notice that some information provided in wikipedia regarding some personalities(sikh), and castes have misinterpreted and are vandalizing sikh people's policies. Being a government official, and sticking to my duty, i will have to solve disputes, if any regarding the above subjects. So anything violating the above conditions is welcomed in Punjab High Court. Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru klji ki fateh Akash singh sandhu (talk) 05:58, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Ok i will withdraw it but i wish that there should be no further misinterpretations about the information provided on wikipedia. Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji kicfateh Akash singh sandhu (talk) 06:00, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Dear Sandhu, I understand that there are many inaccuracies in various articles related to Sikhs and I will be more then happy to help you in removing the mistakes. But please understand that by welcoming people to Punjab High Court, you are issuing a legal threat. Please read No legal threats, which is very strict policy of wikipedia and editors are quickly blocked for violating this policy. So you either delete the "Punjab high court" line you have written twice or comment at the bottom that I withdraw legal threat. --Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 06:09, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

To whom so ever it may concern,hereby I Akash Singh Sandhu take my words about legal threat back Akash singh sandhu (talk) 06:12, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I have left a welcome note at your talk page, which carries useful link to help you here. Also note that the line you mentioned on your talk page "no one should edit after my edits" is not appropriate. You see, like you are interested in improving the article, so someone else also may be interested in improving. You can not stop people from doing that. --Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 06:34, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Ok but no one should lock the page from being editrd Akash singh sandhu (talk) 06:36, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Dont't worry. If everyone who edit, follow polices the page will not be locked. The page is locked if someone do not follow policies and only push for his own view.--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 06:41, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Ok Akash singh sandhu (talk) 11:03, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

do you have a source for the para you added about Sethi Kalan ?--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 03:15, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes this para has a fullproof source and can be verified. Our many authorised old history books are available regarding it which can be easily availed from internet. Our holy book also desribes that sethi kalan which was earlier a group of villages had now disintegrated into many villages. Akash singh sandhu (talk) 06:14, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

I also want to ask that many castes and clans have been provided with wrong information on wikipedia. Also they are locked and can't be edited. So please do anything by which i can correct information. Akash singh sandhu (talk) 06:15, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Can you present at least one such historical book?--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 07:46, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes not one but there are many. You can also search on internet. Though, some of the punjabi books in which you can find this information is "sahit atte punjab da itihaas"_(in punjabi language) written by prof. Gurbachan singh bhullar(professor at punjabi university) 2) "angrejaa duara ditta punjab da naksha" by giani satwant singh khalsa

Akash singh sandhu (talk) 08:29, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

The most highest source is our holy book and you cannot ignore it. Akash singh sandhu (talk) 08:33, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

I couldn't find any information on internet to support your claim. So I suggest you find a source and post the link here. Otherwise someone will remove that portion from the page.--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 10:00, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

If you can read punjabi, i can sendover the book's photo and isbn number you can verify it Akash singh sandhu (talk) 10:10, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I can read Punjabi. In case you didn't notice, my signature carries a punjabi word. Upload the photo of that page of the book on Wikipedia using Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard.--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 10:15, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
