Talk:Lohana

message: @Gotitbro Even by ignoring if the Muslim convert groups of this social group are counted or not, are you familiar with the existence of Sindhi Hindus in Pakistan? Most of them are Lohanas as clearly stated so in the article, which makes the "Indian" label undue. Codenamewolf (talk) 19:29, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not stated anywhere in the article and most Sindhi Hindus in Pakistan are not Lohanas (most of them are from other lower caste groups [reading from Schaflechner in the biblio]), the vast majority having migrated to India pre and post-partition. The description as such would also still not fall under WP:UNDUE, anyhow I will edit the lead to accomodate the different regions (it appears from Schaflechner that a few Lohanas still remain in Pakistan).

replies: text: You can still come across many carrying the surnames listed here in urban areas of Sindh atleast, (I know one irl). Additionally, communities of Muslim convert groups (Dawoodi Bohras, Memons) also exist. Anyways, the current lead seems sufficient Codenamewolf (talk) 20:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Sources treat the Bohras and Memons communities separately and Lohanas are only one of the theoritical origins of those groups (the communities themselves do not necessarily ascribe their origins as such). About Lohanas in urban Sindh, yes those are likely from the remaining populace that did not migrate (also even post-partition quite a few upper-caste Hindu groups did remain in rural (Thar Desert) Sindh but most of them also migrated to India following the 1965 war: see Hasan and Raza).

replies: text: In that case, adjusting the lead to look more like the Khatri article would make sense Codenamewolf (talk) 21:56, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

The colonial administrator Burton is considered highly unreliable especially regarding Sindhi Hindus. He considered Sindhi Hindus & Muslims different races. If you want to read in detail regarding his unreliability on Sindhi Hindus & Sindh related stuff, then check out these academic sources:
