Wadera

Wadera is a redirect to this article. But there is no explanation as to why. So what does wadera have to do with zamindar? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 06:15, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CambridgeBayWeather: Don't know. The redirect was created by the blocked User:Dabamizan48. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:44, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

'Native synonym of 'estate'?

'The term itself came into use during the reign of Mughals and later the British had begun using it as a native synonym for “estate”.'

Shouldn't it be 'estate owner/holder'? 87.126.21.225 (talk) 06:27, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Removal of ahir caste in usual zamindars

This edit-1 was made and Ahir caste was added in usual zamindars which is unsourced as it never mentioned them as one, also the source used here was of Raj era and it mentioned " in Ain-i-akbari the only mahals which are said to have Ahir Zamindars are Nagina and Sardhana but at present time there's not a Single landholder in the Sardhana tahsil " This directly refutes Ahir's claim that they were usual Zamindars.

This edit-2 was made and The Raj era Source was Removed and another Source was added which said "indeed, the parganah of ahrorah, in the latter district, though now without Ahir Zamindars, Derives its name from them being called Ahirwada in anceint records " This statement too simply identifies them as having Zamindaries in a specific area and does not include any points to support the claim that Ahirs were the usual Zamindars.

Adding Ahir Caste here disturbs the pre-existing quote From 1 . Aditya Prakash-080 (talk) 07:14, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese in India

Wondering why, other than in a caption, there is no mention of the long period of Portuguese colonization of India? -- Dough34 (talk) 19:42, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zamindar → Zamindar of India – This article heading rationally seems to misleading and unconsciously biased toward the accurate Indian spectrum for the broader term Zamindar contrasting since zamindar term also implies under the wider View of broader “Universal Expedation.WP:NPOVTITLE WP:GNG and against the WP:Notability ”beside such persisting module, this Article consisting various socio ethnic group Instincts in Some of proceeding from Paragraph inclosing word such as Bhumihar, Bhramin and Rajput therefore definitely its entire relevance which posses its course of Interest only accommodate the Indian Community thus its initially whole framework seem more intermediating toward Zamindar of India Downforwiki (talk) 20:46, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Starting sentence explains it all - A zamindar in the Indian subcontinent was ... (emphasis mine) - Indian subcontinent not India — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 08:42, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Includes other countries of the Indian subcontinent. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @Downforwiki In greater extend Zamindar of Indian subcontinent sound more consistent in clear essence and more vibrant rather than Prefix zamindar of India with short conservative conception.

Nope. Zamindar only existed in the Indian subcontinent and there is no other Zamindar in other countries. No need to disambiguate it. WP:DISAMBIG. Mehedi Abedin 16:36, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Zamindar is a term not only apply for India but also Bangladesh and Pakistan. We don't have Zamindar outside of Indian subcontinent so we don't need to rename it Zamindar of India or Zamindar of Indian subcontinent. Also Zamindar is semi-autonomous feudal ruler and the modern state of India doesn't have feudal ruler system anymore. There is no valid reason to rename it to any other title. Only "Zamindar" is perfect.

Mehedi Abedin 16:34, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I have no idea what the nominator is actually saying, but whatever they're saying they clearly do not understand either Wikipedia naming conventions or the English language. "Zamindar of India" would suggest a single person who ruled India. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:43, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
