PurEdit

Could you clarify what you mean by "Pur"? The word could refer to several different topics, and I want to make sure I write the article you intend. Here are a few plausible interpretations:

  • The linguistic/toponymic suffix "-pur" meaning "city" in many Indian languages (as in Kanpur, Jaipur, Allahabad). An article could explore etymology, geographic distribution, historical usage, and cultural/political implications of toponymy.
  • A historic or ethnographic topic such as the ancient Puru/Pur dynasty mentioned in some Indian texts, or any modern place or community actually named Pur.
  • A broader concept or organization abbreviated as "Pur" (if there’s a specific group, movement, or institution you have in mind).

If you’d like, I can proceed with the most common scholarly interpretation: the toponymic suffix "-pur" and its role in South Asian history and politics, written from a traditional, center-leaning perspective and including careful coverage of debates around national identity and place-naming. In that case I would discuss: - Etymology and linguistic origins of "-pur" and related forms like "-pura" and "-puram" - How "-pur" functions in city names across the Indian subcontinent and beyond - Historical development of major cities with this suffix and their significance in commerce, governance, and culture - Contemporary debates over toponymy, regional identity, and national unity - Notable examples and their linked entries (e.g., Kanpur, Jaipur, Puron—if applicable) - See also section with related terms

Please confirm which interpretation you want, or specify the exact meaning of "Pur" you have in mind, and I’ll proceed accordingly.
