Please see WP:V, WP:RS and WP:COI. I am removing all of your previous recent posts on this talk page because they are just adding noise. If you cannot provide a reliable source there is no point in your requesting anything, sorry. - Sitush (talk) 12:25, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Admin, Change the title to Kurup(Nair sub-caste). Kalari-Kurups and Nair-Kurups are not the same. Kalari Kurups belong to the Kaniyar community their caste is included in the OBC category. Please check this PSC list of Kerala. One of the caste is "Kalari Kurup or Kalari Panicker". https://www.keralapsc.gov.in/index.php?option=com_content&id=338&Itemid=198 And why you have included the name of Saiju Kurup? Who told you that he is a Nair? What proof you have for that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.97.201.181 (talk) 14:49, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Even if Kaniyar/Kalari Kurup/Kalari Panicker becomes General Category caste in future their community will not be related to ours. KANIYAR/KALARI KURUP/KALARI PANICKER IS A DIFFERENT COMMUNITY AND IS NOT AT ALL RELATED TO NAIR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.97.201.181 (talk) 15:08, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kurup was an occupational title in the state of Kerala in India. This was an honorific title, particularly in the older days, that had been conferred by the kings of the local provinces,to persons from several communities with excellence in performance of certain occupational functions related with martial art, funeral rites etc. It was a common practice for families of such a person, to hold that title as a hereditary right and to effect a trans generational pass over.[citation needed]
