there are two individuals on the "Notable People" section that are not ethnically or culturally tamil. they are brahmins; not tamils. the tamil christian is ethnically and culturally tamil. brahmins are an indo aryan tribe that speak sanskrit and have a separate dialect of tamil mixed with sanskrit called brahmnik. there are no proper references given and this is disrespectful to tamil people and brahmins as you are associating two unrelated ethnicities with each other.

Wikipedia is not a place for "ethnic cleansing"; people are generally identified as those speaking a particular language or following a particular culture for generations and identify themselves as belonging to that group; this can even override any genetic analysis. It's just whatever the sources say. Rasnaboy (talk) 04:32, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
It isn't ethnic cleansing to identify someone by what they are rather than lump them all into a larger "ethnic group" just because of a common language. The culture, history and dialects of Brahmins are not the same as Tamils. The only shared similarity between a Tamil and a Tamil Brahmin is the ability to speak Tamil. A Brahmin respects, knows and values Sanskrit just as much or if not more.
For the record, this is all coming from a Brahmin. The overlooking is quite disrespectful and in some cases offensive. You are forcing a tag on Brahmins that they do not have anything to do with. Temporary 1010 (talk) 19:45, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
