Alternative spelling: Chowdhry

Untitled 2[edit]

I am looking for the history/meaning of the "title" 'roy chowdhury' ?

Where has it been used first? Who introduced it? Or where could I find information on this?

Thank you for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.182.227.75 (talk) 14:05, 21 June 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't Chaudhuri be up there as a spelling as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.106.248 (talk • contribs) 01:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spellings[edit]

I have added a new sections Spellings and removed a never ending list of wiki links from the introduction. I have also changed article and used only the most common spelling (same as article name). Only exception is where a specific spellings are discussed. These changes are based on my research on search results and usage of the different spellings on the web. Since there is no verifiable data that lists the different spellings of the name and number of people using it we can consider Google as an evidence for the moment. Feel free to contribute...

Below s the data collected from Google.

7=4?[edit]

literally meaning "holder of four", and also "holder of seven".

How can it mean both? —Tamfang (talk) 05:12, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

spellings[edit]

All those romanisations and not one example of how it's written in the original script(s)! —Tamfang (talk) 04:00, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly! We need to look past the muddle of transliteration, to any variations in Indic scripts, but in doing so, also looking past details of how the same original sound came to be represented differently in Devanagari vs. Bengali vs. Gujarati vs. Panjabi, even vs. Urdu, etc. etc. LADave (talk) 11:25, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Old page history[edit]

Some old page history that used to be at the title "Chowdhury (surname)" is now at Talk:Chowdhury (surname)/Old page history. Its talk archive is at Talk:Chowdhury (surname)/Old talk. Graham87 11:49, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Chowdary (surname)[edit]

"Chowdary" is another spelling of the same name. One person with that spelling is already listed at Chowdhury. Largoplazo (talk) 15:26, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just discovered that that page was deleted (G5 speedy deletion), so never mind. Largoplazo (talk) 15:06, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Choudary[edit]

Besides the fact that Chowdhury already deals with all sorts of variations of this name (and Choudary also has one listing that isn't a "Choudary"), this page is tagged as a disambiguation page but it's actually being treated as a anthroponymy page, since the three people listed here aren't known solely by the name "Choudary". Largoplazo (talk) 16:47, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I shortcutted the formal WP:MERGE procedure by simply adding entries from Choudary to Chowdhury and redirecting the former. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:41, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 28 February 2021[edit]

To whom it may concern,

I wish to edit the page "Chowdhury" to provide a deeper understanding of the term, its provenance, western equivalence, documented history, and importance during the British Raj.

This will include references from The Rajas of the Punjab by Lepel H. Griffin/The History of the Patiala State, which describes the Chaudhry/Chaudhari of the Punjab. I would also like to provide further context of the Zamindar system and its roles during the Mughal Empire, and the British Raj as per the works of S.Nural Hasan's The Position of the Zamindars in the Mughal Empire and its relation to Chowdhury influence.

I do hope you will grant my request to edit as I am currently pursuing my doctoral studies in South Asian history. Al muhalil (talk) 01:42, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merging several articles[edit]

Hello Wikipedians,

I see that the articles Chaudhri, Chaudhri (surname) and Chaudhari (surname) are a mess. They are actually the same surname with different spellings. I propose we merge them to this article.
