Dear Viren
Alow me to point to some differences in context.
1) Mr Khokar the author:
You have hs name, address, and are able to contact him if you wish. He is retired. He held the position of Librarian at Meerut University, U.P( now Chaudhary Charan Singh Unversity).
To complete, the topic, re the reason why his name came up. It was Mr Raja's comment, that Khokkars are not Jats. Mr Raja has accepted they are Jats in a private e mail to me.
He is of the Janjua clan, and he wishes to know more about whether Gakkars are the same as Khokkars.
He is in other words , looking into his ancestry.
Hopefully he will now add to our store knowledge. We are quite deficient in Pakistani sources.
Re : Airavat Singh.
His work is a racy read.
There are however, not just a few questions about his sources and comments
This person, and his work is on the net.
He should be accountable for, and be able to answer for, his work!
If necessary we will get into them, without him, though I prefer he be accessible.
This thread, appears to be not a discussion on Jat history, but an argument on Jat- rajput relations and perceptions,and, perhaps, could just be kept for that.
If moderators permit, I will post something re the History of the Jats, on another thread!
Best regards
Ravi Chaudhary
