In "Balija branches", Please add the following division:
- lingayat vani are prominent in marathwada(earlier in nizam's dominions) region of maharashtra.The term Vani is derived from the Sanskrit word Vanijya which means trade. They were veershaiva Hindu by faith and were traders, zamindars and sometimes priest by profession. They usually kept weapons like swords and some are even believed to be warriors in nayaka- veerashaiva kingdoms. They worship Lord Virabhadra as their kula devata. They carry surnames like Nandkule, Deshmukh, Desai, Patil, Appa, Devane, Rao, Eklare, Naik etc. [1][2][3] PerspicazHistorian (talk) 19:05, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

The two articles are apparently on the same topic. Wikishovel (talk) 20:44, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- Today an editor copied a large amount of content from Balija to Banajiga without attribution. The copied sources also don't all appear to be about the community called Banajiga, in Karnataka. Wikishovel (talk) 15:58, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - Banajigas are Kannada speakers, while Balijas are Telugu speakers. Although they are related mercantile communities, they are not the same. They have distinct histories and cultural practices. Banajigas are largely Lingayats, while Balijas include a significant number of Vaishnavas. In regions where both communities coexist, they typically do not intermarry.
- Sociologists and government policies also treat them as related yet distinct communities. For instance, they are recognized separately in the context of affirmative action in India. The primary difference lies in their ethnicity—Banajigas are exclusively Kannada speakers, whereas Balijas are primarily Telugu speakers, even in Karnataka.
- To accurately describe and document their histories, cultures, and traditions, it is crucial to avoid conflating the two communities. Nikh Nori (talk) 18:14, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - Nikh Nori is correct. Even though the two communities have similar origins, they belong to different linguistic areas and have evolved differently. --Kautilya3 (talk) 23:48, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
