common name in the Caribbean
editHow has Prasad, or Persaud come to be a common last name in the Caribbean? Dogru144 01:24, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Prasad is a common Indian surname. Back in good old days when we ruled the world, many South Asians and Chinese were invited over to the West Indies, particularly to Guyana, as guest/immigrant workers from other parts of the empire. This was arguably done to cause fractions in a largely ex-slave population and arguably led to political strife in the mid 20th century which resulted in a lot of Indo-Guyanese emmigrating elsewhere in the Commonwealth, including to more stable parts of the West Indies. It was either during the original migration from Asia, or the second from continental South America that the name Prasad was in some cases changed to Persaud either by mistakenly being recorded incorrectly or deliberatly being Anglicised. Either way it's my surname and it's made it all the way to exotic Surrey. --GothMoggie 13:35, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

editHi all, This article has a lot of potential but a majority of the content is unsourced. Some of the sources refer to primary texts such as Hindu scripture, with no reference to secondary sources. This does not conform to Wikipedia's core content policy No Original Research-- WP:NOR. Would love to work with some of the authors of this article to find sources for a lot of this content. Unsourced content is typically deleted-- WP:USI. Thanks so much, Skubydoo (talk) 14:55, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
Naivedya is the food offered to God; Prasada is the same food after being sanctified. The rules of offering and making the food are overlapping aspects and thus can be covered in the same article. Redtigerxyz Talk 15:44, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
