Regarding sources heavily/mainly relying on Burton
It is more suitable to use better sources for sensitive caste related topics. The colonial administrator Burton is considered highly unreliable especially regarding Sindhi Hindus. He considered Sindhi Hindus & Muslims different races. If you want to read in detail regarding his unreliability on Sindhi Hindus & Sindh related stuff, then check out these academic sources:

1. Shahani, U. (2022). Following Richard Burton: Religious Identity and Difference in Colonial Sindh. Philological Encounters, 7(1-2), 95-128

2. Mairs, R. (2023). Legacies of Alexander in Colonial Sindh: Richard Francis Burton and a “Greek Pot” at Sehwan. Journal of Sindhi Studies, 3(2), 1-22 Sir Calculus (talk) 07:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
