There is no credible evidence provided that this surname is in any way different origin from the common Indian surname Rai (surname) despite a discussion in talk page. Staszek Lem (talk) 23:39, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete The community is one with royal lineage from South Canara (Carrin, M., & Tambs-Lyche, H. (2003). ‘You don't joke with these fellows.’Power and ritual in South Canara, India. Social Anthropology, 11(01), 23-42. Cambridge University Press) which came to be known later as a farming community (Iversen, V., & Raghavendra, P. S. (2006). What the signboard hides: Food, caste and employability in small South Indian eating places. Contributions to Indian sociology, 40(3), 311-341.) However, in all my literature review, I've not been able to find any evidence of the Rai surname being uniquely associated with the Bunts. Lourdes  07:19, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
