Talk:Gounder

RFV discussion: November 2022–March 2023
Almost certainly not attestable in the senses listed, but a capitalized form might exist as a title of some kind. The editor who added this doesn't seem to have a clue in general, adding various Tamil words as English ones... &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 15:29, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you. Based on those references and some superficial searching of my own, I do actually think this is a word/title in English, but it should probably be capitalized, and the definition needs to be more specific (e.g. "a member of a South Indian agricultural caste"). 98.170.164.88 00:49, 23 November 2022 (UTC)


 * It's a surname/title which denotes "protector of the country" as Wikipedia's source. As the 3rd reference (if you translate it to english), "A counter(Gounder) was a ruler of Rashtrakuta kings, Nulamba Pallava vendars, a country or town in power. He was called Kamundan. It seems that this name came to this country and was changed to Kaminda - Kamunda - Kaminda, the name of the village rich people got it and later it was changed to Kavanda - Kaunda and then it was changed to Kavanda - Kaunda according to the inscription researchers."
 * Presently it's used many castes to get high status. I hope it helps. Phonex01 (talk) 01:36, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * A Tamil Wikipedia entry provides no evidence to how the English word is used. The English Wikipedia entry is about a title, not about an English word meaning "protector of the country and its people" or "powerful leader of the town and village". Wikipedia cannot be used as cites in any case. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 06:49, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You can compare the page with Gowda and Khatri if you think the page is incorrect. Gounder and Gowda are similar titles.
