Total Khatri population broken down by religion should be removed.

I suggest you try your luck outside India. The Khatri is a very shrewd caste of merchants found mainly in the Punjab. A fine race and people but surely not Kshatriyas-the warriors.

In India the Khatris are known to be a business caste and not the Kshatriyas the kings and warriors.



I was in India and have studied castes. The Khatris is a caste of businessmen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.220.114.164 (talk) 21:29, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest we remove the total populations listed by religion of Khatris, since this uses a consensus done by a site called www.thejoshuaproject.com, on the grounds that it 1) is not a total population because it only uses the data for the people who actually reported themselves to the site as Khatri 2) the www.thejoshuaproject.com is an evangelical supported christian site that is not a biased source of information. religious affiliations should not be cited as a source when calculating a population. all citated material should come from unbiased sources.

Thanks,

I have to Agree i dont see the site as a very accurate source,it would not make a difference for the worst if it was taken down but i recommend we wait a little to see if anyone has an objection. Regards Information-Line 21:04, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Given that this has been discussed in the past with exactly the same conclusion, it's perfectly fine to remove those nos and refs, unless consensus changes. -SpacemanSpiffCalvin‡Hobbes 21:21, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Khatris are Indo-Scythians[1]--122.173.3.145 (talk) 13:55, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There doesn't seem to be any objections to removing the total population figure. Lets go ahead and do this now. --KhatriNYC (talk) 14:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note to Admins....

Please watch the user WALTHAM2. He has created a page called [Bhapa Sikh]] which is usually a derogatory term for a certain ethnic group in India. Please take a look at the Bhapa Sikh page, as it is already being debated to be removed, but we need action to be done since its a derogatory term. Thanks.

Also please watch user IP 122.173.252.213. He/She keeps making changes for one thing, but alters lot of other information on the page. Thanks

Khatris are no related to Aroras and Aroras are also not related to Khatris. Khatris, Tarkhans, Lohars, Gujjars, Jats, Rajputs and Kambohs are descended from an ancient specific tribe called Indo-Scythians (Sakas/Shakhas/Scythians). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.161.41.17 (talk) 21:33, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page archive

The talk page is getting too big, so I'm setting up an auto archive to archive threads older than 60 days with a minimum of three left. Also adding a searchable archive box. -SpacemanSpiff 21:45, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aroras

Khatris Are Not related to Aroras. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.214.91 (talk) 10:44, 31 October 2009 (UTC) Hi I am not sure about if khatri's are realated to aroras but i know they do not belong to Indo-Scythians group as if you have read some history when Alexander attacteed india on that time the king's of some of the states were khatri's after my research i have gone upto 360 bce but i can make a rough guess it goes even couple of centuries back than that for example Indian king Pouras on time Alexander invaded India was a khatri and if i am not wrong some part of his family who was living near hill name Aror on that time they use last name arora.Khatris also known as surya wanshi which will take them more back in history somewhere in mahabharata's time.so i will highly suggest before ytou right down anything you should know what you are talking about.
