Change Non elite tiller caste to Elite educated and landowning farming caste

Please see the link that I am sharing shows the in depth value and where the stands it clearly shows that kurmi are forming upper caste clusterhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/41463070 2409:40C1:1B:7CA9:D187:36F7:7F13:2181 (talk) 19:05, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

In your source, the part of your article that I can see is this: "The Brahmin and the Kurmi form the upper caste cluster" which is not quite the same as "Elite educated and landowning farming caste", so more or better sources are needed. That, or an editor who has access to the full jstor article and can confirm that it is true. Lova Falk (talk) 07:10, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

I have removed three out of four of your edit requests, that were asking for the same thing. I understand though that it can be upsetting to see an erroneous description of a caste, so I searched for a source myself. I found this: https://www.ekurmi.com/history.html and I rewrote the first sentence of our article with the help of that text. Friendly, Lova Falk (talk) 07:27, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

PS I keep the edit request unanswered in case another editor finds evidence for the "elite educated" part in the jstor article. Lova Falk (talk) 07:28, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

This isn't a reliable source, written by the representatives of this caste itself. Also "upper caste cluster" is not the same as being upper-caste. The classification is source specific where "upper caste cluster" likely means non-Dalit groups. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:55, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Hey, please remove the word non-elite from the defining paragraph of kurmis. It’s because this term should not be used for defining a community. Now a days kurmis are more progressed and there are many elite kurmis in the society. It is creating a bad perception of kurmis in other peopl’s mind so , please remove this word.
