[edit]

Apparently in Bangladesh "Begum" pretty much means "Mrs"... AnonMoos 13:41, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


"signifying that they are void of care" What the heck does this mean? -- 16:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Completely agreed with you, the sentence does not make any sense. The word is clearly Turkic and is feminine of [[Bey]] (also Beg and Beigh). Also look The Free Dictionary . --Mehrdad 15:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changes

[edit]

I removed some edits apparently relating to Mexico, that have nothing to do with the Asian word Begum. Soczyczi (talk) 09:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Religious Slur?

[edit]

I've removed this

In the United Kingdom, Begum has been increasingly used as a religious slur against headscarf-wearing Muslim women. It became associated with devout Islam and the practice of wearing the veil through the court case of Shabina Begum. [citation needed]

I've seen no evidence of this myself, and the "fact" has remained uncited for almost three years. Rojomoke (talk) 15:31, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
