Talk:Sethi

message: There is an ancient community in Sri Lanka called the Colombo Chetties which also traces its ancestry to sethis in the Benares and Coorg areas
The late President J R Jayawardena too belonged to this clan so are the Lamkarna Dynasty which ruled Sri Lankan for 350 years. a more detailed account could be had from the Google serch under The Colombo Chetties written by me.
More info in this regard will be greatly appreciated, also could someone tell me if these clans are connected. ?

For that you can click on the edit button close to each section or just click below the last message in a given discussion to add your response or reply.
# Now about Sethi's. Sethi's are both Jatt(Sikh) and Hindus, which is same with most of the Arora/Khatri castes. While I do now know personally any Jatt Sethi, I know some Hindu sethi's who are essential businessmen or bananiyas (shopkeeper). Sethi's in Malout are Hindus.--Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ  04:44, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Although I do not see any problem with your recent edits, but note that legal threat are not allowed on Wikipedia. The line you mentioned about "Any disputes invited to Punjab High Court" is a legal threat. I will ask you to withdraw it. On an other note, you seems to as some one who actually want to contribute to wikipedia. So I suggest you try to follow wikipedia policies, which will only help you more.--Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ  05:31, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

text: Dear Sandhu, I understand that there are many inaccuracies in various articles related to Sikhs and I will be more then happy to help you in removing the mistakes. But please understand that by welcoming people to Punjab High Court, you are issuing a legal threat. Please read No legal threats, which is very strict policy of wikipedia and editors are quickly blocked for violating this policy. So you either delete the "Punjab high court" line you have written twice or comment at the bottom that I withdraw legal threat. --Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ  06:09, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

text: Thanks. I have left a welcome note at your talk page, which carries useful link to help you here. Also note that the line you mentioned on your talk page "no one should edit after my edits" is not appropriate.

text: Thanks, but it is not freely available on internet. I am not asking proof for myself personally. I can believe whatever you are saying. But problem is that for something to remain on Wikipedia, we have to add citation. You see not everyone is familiar with Punjab and may believe easily. Can you upload related pages of that book by Neki?--Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ  10:31, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

text: Yes, just cite the book at the end of the para using Template:Cite book. Is it available online? Can you send me the link from where I can download this book?--Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ  11:42, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  i want to edit this article but unable to do soo... please help  

message: i request you to create or let me create another page of sethi gotra for sikhs independently as the hindu sethis and sikh jatt sethis have no common ancient history . further i want you to remove the following para 
""Origin
Sethis originally followed Hinduism, however a significant number adapted Sikhism during the 18th and 19th centuries. This, and also because many Sethi families raised at least one Sikh son after the formation of the Khalsa. This resulted in family names being present in both Hindu and Sikh and Muslim communities worldwide.
as this is purely an incorret information.

thread_title:  Sethi are jatt 

message: the information there is wrong the article I'm writing here is correct
Sethi,(ਸੇਥੀ) also known as Seti or Sathi is a common surname among Jat Sikh clans of the Punjabi and Rajasthani people. Although this gotra of jatt clan has similar spell with Sethi clan of khatri sikhs who adapted Sikhism during the 18th and 19th centuries and originally followed Hinduism. Both are entirely different gotras although they have similar spell, jatt clan being called as ਸੇਥੀ whereas khatri sikh clan being called as ਸੇਠੀ.
According to Major A.E. Barstow, Sethi were very good soldiers due to the influence of Sikhism, and possessed more of a marital status. Barstow further comments, that due to their diet and their fondness for wrestling (something encouraged and taught by Guru Angad to the Sikh people) and weightlifting, they possessed good physical attributes for soldiery. According to R. W. Falcon, Sethi Jat Sikhs (alongside other Sikhs) were seen as a good source for recruitment. According to Captain A. H. Bingley they were particularly loyal soldiers.
In Rajasthan and Malwa region of Punjab, there are many Sethis which are muslim jatts.
Sethi are a traditionally agricultural community in Northern India. Over the years, several sethi Jats abandoned agriculture in favour of urban jobs, and used their dominant economic and political status to claim higher social status.In Punjab (India), Sethi are associated with agricultural pursuits and land ownership. They often reside in the rural areas, and are economically influential in the state.
In addition to the conventional Sarva Khap Panchayat, there are regional Jat Mahasabhas affiliated to the All India Jat Mahasabha to organize and safeguard the interests of the community, which held its meeting at regional and national levels to take stock of their activities and devise practical ways and means for the amelioration of the community
