Hindu Gakhars

[edit]

W00Wesp97 Thanks for edits. Could you add a source about Gakkhars being Muslim in Pakistan and Hindu in India?

Also, I used "tribe" because that's what the source says; do other sources use "clan"?

This is a fictitious article and in fact complete distortion of history. Gal hats are not a tribe indigenous to united Hindustan and have Persian roots. This is not a rajput clan. Please remove Jati from the article. 103.137.24.64 (talk) 21:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Gal hats is a typo. Meant Gakhars… 103.137.24.64 (talk) 21:49, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fredlesaltique: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/+/Gakhar lists 1400+ profiles in India. The names are predominantly of hindu origin. Social media also search also matches this. The claim about Gakhars being muslim in Pakistan is inherited from older version. I can add a social media search url as reference.

Clans are by descent whether actual or claimed. Tribes are loose associations. Gakhar are clans, and not tribes. Academic sources use clan. See Tyagi-Martial races of undivided India (page 215, available on google books), or "Abu'l-Fazl 'Allami, Akbar-nama"..

@W00Wesp97: Hey thanks for editing! I don't think we should use a LinkedIn search as a source- the Wikipedia guidelines are pretty clear about using published, secondary sources (WP:SOURCES).

I would definitely add in the book citation though, and you're right it does say clan.
