Talk:Badagas

Information is half baked and braised! This is harming the badaga community!

The migration is emphasised with a wrong notion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nilgiriking (talk • contribs) 00:06, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Article size reduced

Much of the informative contents of the article was removed, of course, on the pretext as unsourced. Obviously, unsourced contents can be removed in wikipedia, but now the artaicle has become one line stub! The removed matter was encyclopedic and the same could have been sourced instead of removal. Hope somebody (or myself) will add sources and reload the removed contents. Rayabhari (talk) 12:39, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

The author should understand that the lingayath community is only a part of the Badagas .

As Paul Hauckin says , not all Badagas are migrants. There are different castes in Badagas they are lingayath, Brahmins, Adikaris,Baduga and Thoriyas.

The author has written the essay with half baked knowledge and research! This is definitely spreading wrong message amongst young crowd.

Kindly make the changes or bring down the protection level of the page. Nilgiriking (talk) 00:33, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

History

Change”They were believed during the time of the Britishers to have descended from Lingayat refugees who settled in the Nilgiris in the early 12th century.[1]

They claim to come from seven siblings living in the Talamalai Hills. After they fled from a Muslim ruler who tried to rape their sister, they settled in different parts of the Nilgiris. The second brother, Hethappa, was working outside when two Todas raped his wife and took his goods. He sought the aid of two Bayaluru, who agreed to help him if they married his two daughters. They killed the Todas and the inhabitants of the village at the time claimed descent from the Bayalurus and Badaga daughters.[1]” To

“Badagas belong to paleolithic period. Neolithic cultures like Dolmens, Cromlech, Cairns, Kistavens, Burrows could be found in many Badaga villages, which is considered as sacred by Badagas("H.B.Grigg,1880:242", "W.Francis, 1908:96", "Thurston, 1913:140").

During Mouriyan period(321 B.C - 184 AD) Buddhist Monks entered Nilgiris to spread Buddhism among the Badagas in Nilgiris, where came the tree worship among Badagas("H.B.Grigg, 1880:242", " Dr.J Halan, 2012:146", "R.Sugumaran, 2014:12" ).

In 1116 A.D. a Badaga King called Kalaraja was ruling Nilgiris. Vishnuvardana of Hoysala Kingdom of Karnataka was the first king to invade Nilgiris, sent his army and tried to threaten the Badagas and ordered to obey him. Three inscriptions refers to Kala's rule from his fort in Kukal Village("B.L.Rice, 1877: Vol:IV, Chp:2" www.badugaa.com).

Even before Britishers arrived to Nilgiris, a Portuguese Priest called Rev. Jocome Fierier visited Nilgiris in 1602("James Wilkinson Breekes, 1873:33"). He did not stay in Nilgiris. He returned back and informed that he found group of Tribal people called Badagas and Todas. He has spoken on Christianity with Badagas( Fedric Price 1908 : 2).”
