TOI; pg 11; jun 18 2005 Bishnois put trees animals before self

Incorporate material from article Khejarli edit

This article should incorporate much of the material in the article on Khejarli. Kkejarli needs only a paragraph about the physical place in India and link to this article on the Bishnois. --User:Brenont 22:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply


Article needs cleanup edit

I don't know enough about Bishnois to do it myself, but this article needs editing and extra citations. It is a storytelling exercise rather than an encyclopedic entry, especially the entry about the massacre. I have found several news stories, which may help as a beginning for editing this article.

Dear author of the article, The writer of this article should assume that the reader never heard the name "Bishnoi" (as it is written, it starts as if the reader was Indian and had heard of the subject but wanted to know more). It should start by explaining who are they (a religious Sect created by the Guru xxx and in Rajastan, where they came from, etc...), etc. All relevant terms should be précised in the text, in a footnote or by a link to a specific other page / article.

history edit

Various census of India Bisnois are found in Hisar and Sirsa of Haryana.Bisnois were founded by a Rajput of Bikaner.who was born in 1541 A.D, and was therefore a contemporary of Baba Nanak, the originator of Sikhism, and is buried in Samrithal in Bikaner.His spritual name was Jambhaji.He left his followers a scripture in the Nagri character called Subdhani.The adherents of the sect are the descendants of immigrants from Bikaner and are almost exclusive Jats and carpentars by caste,though they often abandon the caste name and describe themselves simple as Bisnois.They marry only among themselves, are good cultivators, and keep camels in large numbers.they have a ceremony of initiations, somewhat similar and known by the name as that of Sikhs.

Official website edit

An official website is a website set up by a body that is authorized as the voice of an entity. bishnoisect.com is by no means official because there is no official body of bishnois (no living leader, not a corporation, etc.). I'm moving bishnoisect.com to external links, please get consensus on this talk page before reinstating it. Thanks. --regentspark (comment) 01:00, 13 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

And I've long thought that unofficial websites, including those of so-called caste associations, should not even be in external links because they're effectively linkspam and very often self-published sources. - Sitush (talk) 02:15, 13 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
