Talk:Punjabi Rajputs

Refactored section
this page only deals in punjabi MUSLIM rajputs, the article is on Punjabi Rajputs, there are scores of Hindu Punjabi Rajputs and Pakistan was just formed 60 years ago. Major work needs to be done with this article. Karan112 (talk) 23:13, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, my family is all either Sikh or Hindu Punjabi Rajput from the Indian state of Punjab, not from Pakistan. Info needs to be added about the other Punjabi Rajputs, not just Muslim Rajputs from Pakistan. --Parihav (talk) 16:19, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Punjab Rajputs
I have made some edits to make the article more neutral. I have the Gazetteer of Punjab which makes reference to 1901 census. I can also get hold of Rose's Glossary of tribes & castes which has info on the distribution of Rajputs.

Hindu Clans
I think it would be useful for some on the Indian side to extend the article by making references to the various Hindu clans. WALTHAM2--WALTHAM2 (talk) 22:10, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

well, there are a lot of articles avialable on hindu punjabi rajputs here on WP like Ghorewaha Doad Bais etc Karan112 (talk) 17:24, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Punjabi/Sikh/Dogra
I feel that putting all the Rajputs in this article under Punjabi Rajputs is not correct. Some clans mentioned in this article have no historical connection with Punjab. I suggest that all Rajputs be put under their respectful categories, such as Dogra Rajputs or Punjabi Rajputs.

Rajputs Clans from the Hill States had no real connection with Punjab apart from the fact that the British just to keep it simple for their records, had come up with the name of "Punjab Hill States" for all the Rajput Hill states of the present day Himachal Pradesh and J&K. Most of the Rajputs from the Hill States were essentially Dogras, they spoke only Dogri, etc. Rajputs from the Shimla Hills had an Himachali identity.

Therefore it is very important to put the Rajputs under their respective Categories/Identities, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pathaniasaurav (talk • contribs) 11:17, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Different Sub-Castes
Various communities like Kamboj/Kamboh, Tarkhan, Lohar, Ahirs, Yadavs, Gurjars/Gujjars, Ahluwalias, Ramgarhias, are the sub-castes of Punjabi Rajputs.These sub-castes were created when Punjabi Rajputs adopted various professions.But these caste do not follow Rajput code system. on the other hand Khatris is specific name given to Punjabi Rajputs (Sikh, Hindu or Muslim). 122.173.14.51 (talk) 17:05, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Near hopeless
This article is near hopeless. It is poorly written, poorly sourced (often, unsourced), contains POV and peacock terns ... I could go on. For now, I have tagged some stuff and watchlisted the thing. I hope that someone can improve it and I will do some research myself. But my experience of similar issues elsewhere inclines me to think that it needs to be cut back big time. I hope that I am proven wrong. - Sitush (talk) 02:22, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think that this amounts to a coatrack. I'd merge it with Rajput if it were not for the fact that it is entirely unsourced other than for a tangential point regarding the origin of military awards. Is there any policy-compliant reason why the content should not simply be deleted and the article redirected? - Sitush (talk) 16:29, 22 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I am boldly redirecting it to Rajput. - Sitush (talk) 12:11, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
