Wrongly de-Indian-izes one religious group
[edit]Oddly segregates Muslim honorifics into a non-"Native" list (discounting nearly a thousand years of Muslim influence on the culture of India) while labeling all non-Muslim honorifics as "Native" (though the Sanskrit-speaking Aryans were also once foreigners to the native Dravidians when they and their language invaded from the North). 174.251.242.106 (talk) 06:35, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- I agree, and it's also inaccurate. For example, the honorific Khan originates in Central Asia, not the Middle East. Can this be changes to Muslim honorifics, like there is a Sikh honorifics section? Clodia Metelli (talk) 20:19, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
