Daivadnya
Undid good faith edit by (talk) we have to follow the source as per WP:STICKTOTHESOURCE . The 3 oxford and academic sources dont use "daivadnya" - they use "daivadnya Brahmin". The different names are given in the sources and daivadnya is not one of them. see WP:COMMONNAME. They are NOT accepted as brahmins which the next sentence says. Name is irrelevant- just like GSB. We can ask Sitush if necessary. court documents and nes papers also refer to them by cmn nameTag: Undo

Khatri
quote does not mention sanskrit. Scribes during Mughal rule would naturally need Persian and not Sanskrit

Daivadnya
exactly as per the two oxford university sources (National series hence reliable as per Sitush). Did not find the Kokanastha Ratnakara word in either of the quotes.

Daivadnya
reverted some edits by Rajeshfadnavis . There is no volume 21 for - Scheduled caste published by Oxford University. The book you are using is people of India(Goa) unreliable - please check the image on google books .

Daivadnya
They append Brahmin to their name but we need to clarify that Brahmin claim is not accepted by local Brahmins- just like the GaudSaraswatBrahmin

Daivadnya
LukeEmily moved page Daivadnya to Daivadnya Brahmin over redirect: WP:COMMONNAME . Their claim to brahminhood is not accepted but the sources(academic etc.) call them by this name. Similar case as the Gaud Saraswats - Brahmin claim disputed although the name contains Brahmin.

Gaud Saraswat Brahmin
→Varna dispute: please provide exact quote. Why would non-brahmins in Goa such as the marathas be interested in challenging their Brahmin claim? Generally the varna that another caste is claiming is the one that gets affected in sanskritization. Brahmins would object - that is understandable but why others?why do they care? They may not accept them as brahmins but that is not the same as challenging.

Gaud Saraswat Brahmin
→Varna dispute: The Kashi pandits and Gaga Bhatt's decision about their Brahminhood was overturned in Shivaji's lifetime itself(probably by some Brahmins scholars - but source does not give details). That would explain why they did not have a need to study sanskrit in Shivaji's lifetime as mentioned by Kantak..
