- Look at this book here dasgupta claim Tili as a High caste or high social group it is not raj era now you please use middle Ranking caste as a POV. PHANTOM 097y (talk) 09:21, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- PHANTOM 097y, the source is clearly talking about a particular household, not the Tili caste in general. Please stop acting like an obsessed WP:SPA. Ekdalian (talk) 09:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- The source state that TILI households are high social standing please read the ref again if you are not satisfy with this I will provide you other reliable ref PHANTOM 097y (talk) 13:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- The source is talking about a couple of Tili households, that too in a particular village. We cannot assume that this is applicable for the caste in general. I have read multiple reliable sources on castes, especially Bengali castes, but never came across any statement supporting that the Tilis enjoy high social status! Anyway, you may try to find reliable sources supporting your claim. Ekdalian (talk) 17:51, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ok I will find another one PHANTOM 097y (talk) 01:01, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

MENTION
editRamkrishna Mukherjee where he mentioned Bengali Teli change their caste Teli to Tili but actually,if we see from Britishers original census we can see that TELI and Tili are separate and if we see the Bengali SCRIPTURES like chandipuran, mangalpuran, BRHAMAN HALIYUDH SHARVASIYA(this literature were from 15th-16th century) we can find Teli doesn't have connection to Tili.some modern historians confused with TELI which is seperate from Teli. I think his information is not a reliable one it is disputed actually. I have so many proofs (English Bengali both) WHICH states Tili and TELI is seperate caste there is no connection with each other PHANTOM 097y (talk) 15:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- You have probably not yet understood our policies. The information is not only reliably sourced, but also attributed to the author. We have clearly mentioned that this is the opinion of the author! Ekdalian (talk) 17:54, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- In 495 page it is clearly mentioned that Tili is a high caste, that's why I told you Tili is a middle caste or not this is still debatable https://archive.org/details/dli.calcutta.05838 PHANTOM 097y (talk) 00:30, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Again, who is the reliable author here? I have provided two reliable sources categorizing them as a middle or intermediate caste. Moreover, according to all reliable sources, Bengal had only three higher castes; read Baidya for more information! Ekdalian (talk) 04:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- It is a study work bruh PHANTOM 097y (talk) 08:30, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- I can understand, but we need reliable authors in such articles. Ekdalian (talk) 08:54, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ok I will find it soon 🙏 PHANTOM 097y (talk) 08:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

- bro in some english documents it is ALSO mentioned that Kayastha and vaidya which is also called upper caste categories into middle caste and in some these two categories as upper caste this same situation happens to Tili caste.
- I will do research on it and I will provide you reliable author with non-british Raj documents PHANTOM 097y (talk) 08:56, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- There has been variations everywhere,sometimes Bengali Brahmins were also called middle castes as they weren't considered true Brahmins by the Heartland's Brahmins. But traditionally there have been only three upper castes in Bengal Equivalent to each other. The Bhadralok. WatteryFire (talk) 01:32, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Nope the bhadralok can be anyone who is rich and elite,if a BRAHAMN person is a poor then he/she cannot be BRHAMAN.
- Bruh but different peoples are different opinions in that time Kayasth and Vaidya considered as a NABASAKH caste i saw in a document WHICH is from British raj
- Then they 2 do upwardment for their caste
- Any caste become upper caste in WB but they have to become rich and educated that's it.
- That's the thing which Kayastha and vaidya get success PHANTOM 097y (talk) 11:05, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- TILI is a middle Ranking caste this is the POV of gupta swarup
- So there should be mentioned of it that according to gupta swarup TILI is a middle ranking CASTE. PHANTOM 097y (talk) 11:06, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Ramkrishna Mukherjee
editCan I remove ramkrishna mukherjee's opinion because it is still debatable and I provide you some proofs that Tili aren't related to Teli In WB, Teli are kolus but Tili's don't have any status like that in past years and present too.
We should provide reliable proofs not Disputed opinions PHANTOM 097y (talk) 01:17, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- No sorry, you can't. The related statement cannot be removed since it is relevant and reliably sourced! Don't try to continuously push your caste agenda. Ekdalian (talk) 06:24, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- I don't have any agenda I give Wikipedia contribution and I don't push my caste ok! My aim Is to provide you all proper knowledge PHANTOM 097y (talk) 17:08, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Middle Ranking
editOk, Tili is a middle ranking caste as per the pov of gupta,swarup it's not for all So,the term middle ranking should be in the history and origin PHANTOM 097y (talk) 22:53, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- No, almost all reliable sources mention the same. I have cited two, one calling them middle ranking, another calling them intermediate meaning the same. Morover, this is how other Bengali caste articles look (lede)! A separate section is required for varna status only. Ekdalian (talk) 05:06, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nope no requirement of varna section
- Bro I have many research work which state Tili as a High caste in some articles also I see that so,but the problem is they all are research work 😕 PHANTOM 097y (talk) 09:43, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Now you know that you need to find modern scholarly work by reliable authors! Ekdalian (talk) 15:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes 🙌
- For some reason my research gone very slowly because of my academics otherwise I will provide you RELIABLE authors PHANTOM 097y (talk) 16:06, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, great! Carry on. Ekdalian (talk) 17:50, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Now you know that you need to find modern scholarly work by reliable authors! Ekdalian (talk) 15:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Bruh I also see that intermediate that's not the reliable source I think
- If you told this then I think yesterday I was provided you a source that state Tili is a high caste
- You also see that source PHANTOM 097y (talk) 01:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Tili Caste Government Document Acceptability
editTili Caste Government Document Acceptability
edit@Ekdalian Clearly, you've got a personal vendetta against the Tili caste, which is fascinating considering I've backed everything with credible government documents and scholarly works based on primary sources. But hey, maybe in your world, facts are just inconvenient obstacles to your narrative. It's amusing how you casually dismiss government documents as false—are you the self-appointed encyclopedia of truth now? It's laughable that you can't handle the reality that the Tili community is one of the most powerful in Bengal. But don't worry, stay cozy in your bubble. Meanwhile, those government documents you so easily brush off have already exposed the truth. Might want to grab some Burnol—sounds like you're going to need it.

It has been clearly established that Tilis belong to the Upper Caste, and the false OBC status has been rightly rejected. This makes me wonder if your hostility toward this community stems from a personal grievance. Perhaps you were denied financial assistance by Tilis who saw through your intentions, or maybe a girl from this community rejected you. It’s possible they didn’t invite you to participate in a puja at their home. Just because you live in a particular place doesn’t give you the right to write things based on your biased perceptions. The NCBC has thoroughly debunked the unfounded theory that Tilis converted from Telis, basing their decision on modern scholarly research and primary sources. If you lack accurate knowledge about a caste, you should refrain from using your perceptions to demean them. And NCBC is much more credible than you. Please either update the article about the Tili community with accurate information or consider removing it altogether. It's better for you to avoid spreading misinformation. 2409:40E1:10B4:8E6C:C9BF:13FE:8BDF:8206 (talk) 2409:40E1:10B4:8E6C:C9BF:13FE:8BDF:8206 (talk) 07:26, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Personal attacks are treated seriously here in Wikipedia! All the socks have been blocked! Have you read and understood the edit summary? I have clearly mentioned the reason for revert. Ekdalian (talk) 08:00, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- yes I read the edit summary..you didn't even value the Government document..which is much more reliable.... 117.204.193.88 (talk) 17:19, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- And yet, you're doing exactly what you criticize a particular community for. It seems I just learned this behavior from you. You're so narrow-minded that you can't even comprehend government documents properly. I can tell you're shaken after reading those official papers. I've even seen you personally attack Tilis on a Quora page. 117.204.193.88 (talk) 17:26, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also, we don't accept primary sources in caste articles; I have already mentioned before; read WP:PRIMARY. Ekdalian (talk) 08:02, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- but bro this is not primary source...This is a modern scholarly work done by experienced peoples on this field. 117.204.193.88 (talk) 17:19, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- tell me difference between primary and secondary source first.............. and Government documents are not primary..even Government has told the truth..but I can't find any reason to deny that..maybe there are fools like you those who thinks themselves and their way of thinking as most authentic source 117.204.193.88 (talk) 17:21, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Read WP:CIR! Considering your personal attacks (even calling me 'fool'), I shall no longer respond to your posts! You may go to any appropriate forum or ping/wait for other experienced editors! Ekdalian (talk) 17:40, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sometimes, words don't fully capture the true meaning and intent behind them. It's possible that there are underlying messages that aren't immediately apparent. I believe government documents are more reliable sources, and this Wikipedia article seems misleading. Historically, Maratha Bargis invaded Bengal to loot wealth from the Tili community, which was notably prosperous even back then. There's also a historical ritual where if Bargis touched the Tilis, it was considered degrading for the Tilis. Additionally, Bhaskar Pandit, a prominent figure, was given Tili status in Bengal. The distinction between these groups is clear, so I urge you to reconsider and stop spreading misinformation in this caste-related article. 117.204.199.75 (talk) 06:01, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
