What's the agenda behind mentioning "Sunar SC in Haryana" in the opening paragraph as opposed to in the Factions section?
[edit]This almost seems like an attempt to make Sunars known as SC. Move it to the Factions or some other later sections.

So, it's clearly an exception, not the norm. ~2026-31088-08 (talk) 17:24, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
