Supersaiyan Adding personal opinion to referenced content
editI contribute a referenced quote.
Supersaiyan adds an opiniated unsourced post script to the article ..which says However this reference is not corrobrated by any other source and may refer to another tribe of a similar name. These particular mentioned Khatris were a mercantile people, unlike the warlike Marauding Khakha princes see next link immediate below
I add another 5 referenced quotes from verifiable sources on 12 April see immediate below link.
Next User Supersaiyan deletes its above quote and adds an unexplained quote and adds more unreferenced opiniated content as a post script to my quotes .See immediate below link
The relation of caste or Zat(punjabi word for caste) to profession is misdirected . No caste is or has been mono occupational ...there are Khakha or Janjua scientists ,teachers , tailors ,weavers and tillers . This does not impinge or change caste , simillarly there are and have been Khatri Merchants , Generals , actors or agriculturalists . Class and caste are two different entitys . To see a caste only in terms of its millitary heritage is narrow . Caste and caste heirarchy in Hinduism is a complex structure ..often defined by the relation of one caste to another ...for example where or with whom does one caste of Kshatriyas relate to Brahmans in religious or social sanction .
Supersaiyan please limit your contributions to referenced content from verifiable sources instead of your opiniated posts , as you have done on this article recently.

editVarious sourses have recorded the Khatri and Brahmin ancestory of Khakhas and Bhambas including the census reports of Ibbetson where a Khakha tribe are recorded as converted Khatris.
| “ | The Khakhas are in fact Khatris converted to Islam and are found in greatest numbers in the Kashmir hills , lying along the left bank of the Jhelum ;whence a few have made their way into Hazara and Rawalpindi . Sir John Campbell called them a curiously handsome people.[1] | ” |
| “ | These people had been converted to Islam from Khatris and Brahmins respectively and hence they kept these words as part of their names [2] | ” |
| “ | The Khakhas are supposed to be Khatris converted to Islam[3] | ” |
| “ | Je Khakha sir Khe pawe Ta bhe Khakha khat lawe If a khatri puts ashes on his head Even then the Khatri will make some profit [4] | ” |
| “ | Historian Pt Har Gopal Kaur feels that the word Brahman got corrupted to make Bamba and the word Khatri to yield Khakha (I have no opinion on what these clan names are a corruption of . However , knowing the languages of the area , I have no doubt that these are corruptions of words beginning with b and with K respectively[5] | ” |
