Is Jogendra Nath Bhattacharya a reliable source?

His page says that he was a 19th century casteism promoter and Brahminism activist at loggerheads with social reformers who wanted to do away with casteism. Is he a reliable source? He is not, according to the principles laid out in WP:RS. Therefore, I propose removing his citations and instead focus on neutral, academic sources.--Trickipaedia (talk) 08:31, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. Moreover, Raj era source is not supposed to be cited here! You may remove such content. Ekdalian (talk) 08:35, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This page is totally absurd and looks like Jogendra Nath Bhattacharya has no knowledge of Bhumihar Brahmins at all. This page should be removed ASAP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:644:937F:4560:553B:4367:E976:AA85 (talk) 17:51, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong facts about BHUMIHARS.

Bhumihars are rulling caste in Bihar, Jharkhand and Purvanchal region of Uttar Pradesh.This caste is holding most of the lands in the area so some people always try to defame Bhumihar caste by spreading wrong and false things about BHUMIHARS. Bhumihars are pure Brahmin and they are good warriors and comes under martial race. Rakesh Kumar Vats (talk) 16:57, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, so you are here to promote the caste, Rakesh Kumar Vats! Sorry, Wikipedia is all about reliable and verifiable sources; articles are not based on original research (WP:OR)! Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 07:26, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Brahman who got land during ancient time they called today as Bhumihar Brahmin . During ancient time Bhumihar Brahmin also known as Magadhi Babhan (Babhan) . According to many source like Buddhist text , Ashoka stupa we got to know about Bhumihar Brahmin . Battle of Madarpura mentioned in an Authentic text Kanyakubj Vaishali where got sources of Bhumihar Brahmins who Fought Bravely . Shunga and Kanava dynasty Brahmins was the ancestor of Bhumihar Brahmin

It is not clear what exactly you would like to change! Moreover, the text mentioned above is unsourced, (read WP:RS, WP:V) and such original research (WP:OR) hardly makes sense! Ekdalian (talk) 08:00, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
