Batta is used for kashmiri hindus

The non-muslims (hindus by default in modern sense) in kashmir valley especially brahmins were historically and still called "Batta" in kashmir valley as the word "hindu" was unknown to kashmiris. It is only in recent times that kashmiri batta (brahmins) have started calling themselves hindus something which they always detested. I never knew that Batta are also found in punjab and many khatris are derived from Batta caste, surprising and interesting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imkan125 (talk • contribs) 21:53, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's use as a British Raj term is referenced warranting its inclusion. Philg88 ^♦talk 18:41, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
