Talk:Khatik

Needs clean up

The article is full of unsourced information. Such misleading information are often compiled by the caste members on the caste articles to glorify their caste status by putting fake caste histories. I request all editors to please help cleanup and source the contents as early as possible.--MahenSingha (Talk) 08:50, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Back to Original

I have returned the article back to its original content, as none of the amendments were referenced.

Massive removal

I just cut out about 40% of the article, because it was entirely unsourced; I also think it was probably WP:UNDUE. Our most basic policies require that information in Wikipedia be verified by reliable sources. To be honest, I'm concerned about much of the rest of the text, as I'm not sure how much of it is actually found in the books listed (it seems a bit more detailed than one would usually find in such an academic book), but I'll leave it for now.

Veerwal movement Suggestion

The given source says- "छोटीसादड़ी -!- अखिल भारतीय वीरवाल जैन समाज के गुरु समीर मुनि की 34वीं पुण्यतिथि मार्च माह में अहिंसा नगर ओछड़ी में मनाई जाएगी। वीरवाल समाज के जिलाध्यक्ष राकेश कुमार सांवरिया ने बताया कि गुरु की पुण्यतिथि अहिंसा संकल्प के रूप में मनाई जाएगी। इसी दिन आगामी माह में प्रस्तावित सामूहिक विवाह सम्मेलन के लिए युवक युवती परिचय सम्मेलन भी आयोजित किया जाएगा।" Translating it to english it becomes- The All India Veerwal Jain Samaj (society)'s mentor Guru Sameer Swami's 34th death anniversary will be celebrated in the month of March at Ahinsa Nagar, Ochhadi (Place). The Dstrict President of the Veerwal Samaj Mr. Rakesh Kumar Sanwariya told that the said anniversary will be celebrated with the youth boys and girls introduction for Mass Marriages. Now where is the so called Veerwal Movement in this news article. Please stop fooling the people by citing a source of different language. If still there is anything with valid support of the valid sources then please go ahead positively. You are most welcome to publish the facts. Thanks.--MahenSingha (Talk) 20:00, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

@Mahensingha: I have removed the maintenance tags, because after the cleanup that you made there is no requirement of those tags. Capitals00 (talk) 06:44, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Suryavanshi khatiks

They are kshatriya Ishanbhardwad (talk) 04:31, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Ayodhyabasi suryavanshi kshatriya

They are the most superior in khatik caste according to the census 1961 report. They also claim that they have a suryavanshi rajput origin because there are many similarities between them and the rajputs. Ishanbhardwad (talk) 03:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 15 September 2026

Change the section to add that Khatiks in Rajasthan experienced caste-based marginalisation and were historically regarded as an untouchable Scheduled Caste, while the nature and extent of social disabilities varied by locality and period. Historical accounts should distinguish their experience from that of other Dalit communities where differences in customary occupations, social restrictions and forms of caste-based labour, including begar, are documented. The section should also note the socioeconomic transformation of sections of the Khatik community in Rajasthan after independence. Over successive generations, particularly among urban and middle-class families, increasing emphasis has been placed on formal education and economic advancement, with members entering higher education, entrepreneurship, professional and corporate employment, and other occupations beyond traditional caste-based livelihoods. Community organisations have likewise increasingly emphasised education, professional development and economic self-reliance. These developments should be presented as trends among sections of the community rather than as uniform characteristics of all Khatiks in Rajasthan.
