In December 2016, an anon usurped this article, converting from one about what appeared to be a non-notable social group to one concerning at village - the collapsed messages relate to the older version of the article. - Sitush (talk) 07:00, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Most of the text in this article has been lifted verbatim from the Gazetteer of the Hoshiarpur District (1883-4) and the Gazetteer of the Jullundur District (Part A) (1904) without quotations and without giving any credit or references. I've added a new section "Historical Documentary References to the Ghorewaha" and I'm providing the references and putting all the verbatim text in quotations so credit is given where it is due. Poloplayers (talk) 08:05, 24 August 2010 (UTC) Added a new section called "Published Sources" at the end of the article to show where most of the information in this article is coming from.

It is obvious there is no other Ghorewaha who is involved in Indian politics other than him and his relatives at the moment. His former political positions are enough to render him a prominent Ghorewaha. He is definitely more prominent than any other Indian Ghorewaha (asides those within his own family). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.32.124.232 (talk) 22:12, 27 May 2011 (UTC) Article full of unreliable sources and mythological references[edit]This article could use some editorial help. It is written in a tone that is far from neutral and the content is entirely based on discredited sources. It does not distinguish between fact and mythology.--QualityCircle (talk) 21:05, 23 May 2012 (UTC) Specific example is text like the following: "Raja Maan, a Kachhwaha descendant of Kush, son of Rama, had two sons, Raja Kachwaha and Raja Hawaha. Raja Hawaha became ruler of a part of the Punjab in 1070 AD. Subsequently, the then Muslim Ruler of India, Sultan Shahabuddin Muhammad Ghauri, awarded him and his brother, Raja Kachwaha, ownership of as much land as they could encircle on horseback from dawn to dusk in a single day on either side of the Sutlej River. Raja Hawaha encircled an area comprising 1,860 villages north of the Sutlej whereas his brother, Raja Kachwaha, took an area south of the Sutlej. Raja Kachwaha, thereafter, returned to his ancestral home in Jaipur, Rajasthan whereas Raja Hahawa settled on his newly acquired lands in the Punjab, hence the reason why the Ghorewaha are primarily settled in the Punjab region of modern-day Pakistan and India.[1] " It is sourced to "Patti, Naseeruddin Khan, History of Kaushal (Ghorewaha) Rajputs, Lahore: 1976" . The legend is actually taken from an unreliable source. This is at best a vanity publication and cannot be used as a wikipedia source. --QualityCircle (talk) 21:12, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Gazetteer: Reliablity on a single dubious source class[edit]This article entirely relies on dubious class of colonial era Gazetteers written by non-experts. Please find better sources to make this article reliable and trustworthy. Much has been claimed on the basis of very little that would qualify wikipedia's test of reliablilty.--QualityCircle (talk) 21:27, 23 May 2012 (UTC) Notability[edit]Aside from Raj sources and unreliable websites (that generally are reprinting those sources), there really doesn't seem to be much said about this community. Are they actually notable? - Sitush (talk) 09:24, 20 September 2014 (UTC) |
