Does this caste exist? Perhaps. There is sourcing to show that they are a "backward class". Currently, only one of the sources mentions them (although I cannot read the #5 ref), #1 and #2 are the same ref, and both simply mention the backward class in a list, with zero additional information. Refs #3 and #4 do not even mention the class. Searches did not turn up any in-depth coverage, so fails WP:GNG could be redirected to Gounder, but the redirect was challenged.

Delete Fails GNG, no IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth exist. Oppose redirect, doesn't seem like a viable search term based on a lack of BEFORE search results. // Timothy :: talk 03:44, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
