Talk:Kakar

message: You posted this comment in the article . 
Kakar are khatris from the Punjab and its adjoining areas. They are basically Hindus, while some of them converted to Islam due to whatever reasons. Islam came much later. Khatris are basically Kshatrias, but because there were not wars going on all the time, so these people took up other professions like teaching, trade and other.   People in Pothohar belt and regions of Afghanistans were Hindus or Buddhists, and a lot of texts and scriptures have been written by Rishis around this region. Queen Gandhari and her brother Shakuni who also find mention in the Mahabharata, were royals from Afghanistan region. Around 10th century and later, many conversions have taken place, due to conquests from Middle East, and this area has lost it indigenous culture and tradition that encompasses Hinduism..
Kakar's are NOT Khatri's nor do anyone see them as Khatri's. They are a Pashtun tribe of Ghurghast origin from Ghazni who moved into adjacent areas like other Pashtun tribes. Mahabharata is not a history book and its based of Hindu mythology. Therefore i really don't know why you are trying to connect them to imagerniey "rishis" or indians. 99.247.62.117 (talk) 04:46, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

message: I have read articles mentioning the connection between Sher Shah Suri and the Kakar tribe, can a citation for this be provided? I have founf one for the Sur Pashtun tribe to be descended from the Ghori tribe, sharing connection with the Sherwani's who also wrote Sher Shah's memoirs. Can anyone locate a reference for this and add it to this article?--Shanti bhai (talk) 11:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: You missed about four years of unsourced editing. I reverted it to the original list from 2007, though I don't have any evidence that it is any more credible than the current list. --Muhandes (talk) 22:50, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removing fake information reference regarding Mashwani 

message: After the partition of British India, Hindu members of the Kakar tribe became settled in Unniara, Rajasthan, India.
I am removing this information because its irrelevant to this page. The lady in the article talks about "Kakari tribes" even though the Kakar is one tribe and are all 100% Muslims. I think this confusion comes from the fact that there is also a Punjabi caste called "Kakkar." See here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakkar 
I believe this would be better suited there. Akmal94 (talk) 03:17, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

text: Haven't you seen what they said above or in the above section? BBC is a reliable source and this material is not only provided by BBC, but multiple other references. Your personal analysis is WP:OR. Additionally, singling out editors based on their nationality is discriminatory and violates WP:NPA. --Yoonadue (talk) 03:40, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

text: Then you should also watch that none of the sources you have provided make reference to a Khatri tribe. They only make reference to Hindu members of the Pakhtun tribe known as Kakkar. You need to re-read Wikipedia policy statements on reliable citations. These are secondary sources and not only BBC, but many other citations mention the Hindu members of the Pakhtun Kakkar tribe. Note that Hamid Karzai, the leader of Afghanistan, has recognized them as Pashtun Hindus. I am repeating sources mentioned earlier such as  Now it's time for you to stop as we have no consensus here to remove this material. Ashishkafle (talk) 02:58, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
