Hi, you are new to Wikipedia and so will probably not have realised that Lepel Griffin is not considered to be a reliable source here. He was a gentleman-scholar of the British Raj period and is rarely cited by modern academics because his research methods were poor etc. Furthermore, the notion of connecting Aryan ethnicity to various Indian communities is an extremely awkward one to deal with because, for example, the Aryan invasion theory is widely discredited and, indeed, was eventually rejected by its own creator, Max Mueller. Some people have attempted to use DNA studies here on Wikipedia in order to verify a connection but such studies tend to fall into the category that we call primary sources. It really is a very messy area and I'd advise you to gain experience on less controversial issues before diving into this. I hope that you can understand but please do feel free to ask any queries on my talk page. Thanks, and welcome again! - Sitush (talk) 18:40, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
