An irrelevant source

I found out that Dialogue & Daggers:Notion of Authority and Legitimacy in the Early Delhi Sultanate 1192 C.E.-1316 C.E. p. 167. ISBN 9789384318468, written by Ayan Shome, was added in this page as a reference. However, this book doesn't even mention about the Rors!

Reference to Steppe Ancestry

Forgive my unfamiliarity with Wikipedia processes, I stumbled upon something that might be worth including in the article. From the page " Yamnaya culture" there is a reference and direct link to this page based on genetic study which shows a high representation of early steppe ancestry in Ror people.

"The Rors stand out in South Asia as the population with the highest proportion of Steppe ancestry".

Article is largely devoid of useful information

I note that the article, as it is now( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ror&oldid=1038138876) provides very little information that a reader would find useful. Some of the information from the earlier versions should be restored.

"Ror is an Indian caste."
"In the parts of Baiswara in Uttar Pradesh that are inhabited by Ror people,[1] Rors along with groups such as the Chauhans and Tomars are associated with Delhi and its outskirts."
"The migration history of Rors began and ended in Haryana, a region north of Delhi.[2]"

They don't tell me much.

Specifically the reports based on scholarly studies should be mentioned. Discussion of Varna (it is a problematic issue, since there is no established standard for judging that) should be avoided. If legends are mentioned, their sources should be cited. A modern oral legend is not as useful as a tradition with some literary history. Malaiya ( talk) 20:51, 10 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Which scholarly studies do you mean? One of the difficulties with this article has always been that the Ror do not appear to have attracted much academic interest.

Query

LaundryPizza03, this edit seems like a good-faith oversight, as the source does mention Rors on page no. 167. Here's the relevant quote:

Helpful indications were ethnographies compiled during the era of the British Raj. For example it is reported that Chauhan (Chahamana) Rajputs had numerous settlements on the outskirts of Delhi by the early part of the twentieth century.6 Also in large numbers were Tomar (Tomara) Rajputs, a clan historically connected with the Chauhans.7 Also interestingly, not only these groups, but other groups as well, had a migration history that was by their own traditions quite modest. Another warrior pastoralist group, the Rors, had a migration history that began and ended within Haryana, a region just north of Delhi.8

So I guess the details and the relevant content should be reinstated. - NitinMlk ( talk) 17:51, 11 August 2021 (UTC) reply

@ NitinMlk: Okay, it has been restored. But this is the only mention in the book, which I can't preview, and doesn't explain enough about the history of the Ror. Are there other reliable sources about this? – LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 04:40, 12 August 2021 (UTC) reply
LaundryPizza03, I apologise for the extreme delay. You are right that it's just a passing mention in the source. In fact, the Rors are just mentioned to show the example of those groups who had a "migration history that was by their own traditions quite modest."

The Ror became an independent caste identity in Haryana itself 261 years ago after the third battle of Panipat.

@ Arjayay: Moreover, genetics are not allowed in Indian caste/community articles per WP:CONSENSUS at WP:INB, reliable or not. Besides the research paper in question doesn't mention anything like what the IP is saying, it only implies that these samples seem to harbor high West Eurarian ancestries among the studied samples (thus can be extracted to be used as a proxy for the hypothetical ANI ancestry, previously done using the Kalash populations of Pakistan), it is still an admixed population (like most moderns in the world) and very much part of the Indian-Cline as geneticists term it, with ~60% of the female lineages (mtDNA) of native South Asian origin as well as 20% Andamanese Onge like ancestry as observed by the research itself. Not to mention it is not a favored research paper since it uses dated formula miscalculating averages, especially steppe proportions of all the samples it uses in the study. It is a moot point now since we cannot use genetics per consensus, but also need to note that news articles have miss quoted the research paper, similar to many other researches done in Indian media. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 12:30, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Aror city of sindh

To the west of Jaisalmer, there is an old town called aror, which was the main area of ​​Dahir . when Qasim attacked Sindh, the people of ror and jat castes had shifted towards Haryana, by the way, Dahir was a Mohyal Brahmin. At the time of Chach, the Hindus of Sindh had taken part in the battle of camel in Basra, Iraq, (then further Mohyals also took part in Karbala) .then when Qasim got victory over Deval(712ad), many Hindu castes came towards Haryana from aror sindh and they were called ror and jats in haryana. 103.206.177.49 ( talk) 08:59, 18 January 2023 (UTC) reply

OBC not Forward

@ Kautilya3: Hello, someone has added that Ror are "Forward Caste" but they are not. The provided article is talking about their OBC reservation status in Haryana.

This article for example. https://www.livemint.com/Politics/pSY2eySzgDhkOMeDjayX1M/Jats-five-other-castes-granted-reservation-in-Haryana.html

  • Bills granting quota for Jats, five other castes passed in Haryana.
  • The bills propose quotas for Jats and five other castes—Jat Sikh, Ror, Bishnoi, Tyagi and Mulla Jat/Muslim Jat—by constituting a new classification Block ‘C’ in the Backward Classes category.
  • The Haryana Backward Classes (Reservation in Services and Admission in Educational Institutions) Bill, 2016, proposed to give statutory status to Backward Classes Block ‘A’, Backward Classes Block ‘B’ and Backward Classes Block ‘C’.

@ Fylindfotberserk: Why did you remove the OBC sentence? I don't understand the justification from this talk. What was OR about the original sentence? – LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 20:09, 22 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ LaundryPizza03: Let me explain, chronologically.
1) User BharatGanguly added this sentence -> "It is classified as a Forward caste" based on a source [1] that mentions the opposite, that is Rors being categorized as a 'backward caste'. So it is a clear case of WP:OR, which is what I'm talking about above.
2) Yesterday, I corrected it [2], added the OBC bit, as well as added another source (livemint one provided by the IP above) to support that. Both are sources dated March 2016
3) Kautilya3 referred the Jat agitation article and provided a newer (May 2016) source above that talks about a stay order on the status. Hence, I've removed for now. Hope this makes me clear - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 09:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Fylindfotberserk: I'm pretty sure that misrepresentation of source is lying, not OR. I also think that we could just explain that the Ror used to be classified as an OBC, until the stay order on the classification was placed in May 2016. – LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 19:35, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ LaundryPizza03: That we can discuss with Kautilya3 (and other users if required). I've removed it for being contentious at the moment (see the page history as well). After eight+ months, I forgot a lot of Wiki-jargon and WP:OR is the one that struck my mind. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 20:03, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Fylindfotberserk, my edit in which I mentioned that the Ror is a forward caste wasn't OR. Check this Haryana govt site. Ror doesn't feature in either of the lists pertaining to OBCs and SCs. So, it obviously becomes a Forward caste. As far as granting reservation to Ror is concerned, Haryana govt tried to include the group in Backward classes but as rightly pointed out by Kautilya3, it could never be implemented due to court stay. So, what matters is the present status ie "forward". I tried to find sources which explicitly use the term forward for Rors but couldn't find any. However, it was easy to find sources which identify Ror as an upper caste like this one. BharatGanguly ( talk) 17:45, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ BharatGanguly: Explicit mention is required otherwise it becomes WP:OR. As for the uppercaste bit, while it is supported in your reference, I don't see it being used in the lede of Brahmin or Rajput articles for example, or lower caste in the Chamar article for that matter. Jats is another good article to look into, which doesn't mention anything of this sort in the lead either. Personally, I don't think these identifiers are necessary, atleast in the lead. I'll ping a few editors @ Sitush, LukeEmily, Admantine123, Chariotrider555, and NitinMlk: - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 18:16, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Fylindfotberserk, the case of Jat is different as it has got OBC status in several states like Delhi, UP and Rajasthan. However, in case of Ror, they have no access to reservation in any of the Indian state and it can easily be verified from the sites of respective state govts. Explicit mention is difficult to get. I would call it common sense rather than OR to mention forward caste. BharatGanguly ( talk) 18:30, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ BharatGanguly: I mentioned other caste articles also. WP:OR is necessary, or we don't mention it at all. IMO it is not important, I don't see the forward caste or general category tagged in articles. Lets see what others had to say. Lets get a WP:CONSENSUS here. Pinging @ Kautilya3 and LaundryPizza03: as well. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 18:37, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
I think it is fine to leave it out. The stay order means that the government order did not take effect. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 22:37, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Agree with both @ Kautilya3: and @ Fylindfotberserk:. Definitely not suitable for lead. Also, as Kautilya3 says, if there is a stay order that means they are not OBC right now. BTW, Rajput is OBC in Karnataka but not sure why they have mentioned forward caste with Karnataka as an exception in lead. Also Ravana Rajputs, Kanet Rajputs are OBC. In general, IMHO, we should remove forward caste or OBC etc. from lead as it is too complex at times (just like Varna). LukeEmily ( talk) 14:17, 28 May 2023 (UTC) reply

I was pinged here one month ago, but the discussion is already over. Anyway, I agree with the points made by Fylindfotberserk, Kautilya3, and LukeEmily. Note that even if they will somehow get the OBC status in Haryana state, Rors and Jats of Haryana will still remain Forward caste in the Central Government list. In fact, leaving behind Rajasthan's selected districts, Jats will remain Forward Caste at the Central level, as the highest authority (Supreme Court) has already ruled against their inclusion. [1]

Upper caste and lower caste depend on context, region, period, etc. Any non-Dalit caste is upper caste in comparison to Dalits, although it may itself be tagged as lower caste in comparison to some other non-Dalit castes. Similarly, a caste may be 'upper' in one state and 'lower' in the other. So this is a comparative term and shouldn't be used in the lead or out of context. - NitinMlk ( talk) 21:14, 25 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Isha Books, along with Gyan Publishing and Kalpaz Publications, are not considered reliable on this project, as they plagiarise even Wikipedia – see here. They are so notorious that I just needed to glance at a few pages of the source in question to find blatant plagiarism. Expectedly, the book plagiarises from here, there, and everywhere, e.g. check out page no. 229, which is fully plagiarised from two different sources:

Example of typical plagiarism by Isha Books

Here is the first half of the page no. 229:

Not a single village in the Punjab is homogeneous. Every community has its own social customs which are different to some extent from those of others. Religion further determines this cultural difference and mode of living. Even when a Jat and a Khatri are next-door neighbours, some of their cultural traits remain different from each other. The practice of widow remarriage, for instance, is accepted by the Jats but it is almost a taboo among the Khatris. The Jats and the Khatris are further sub-divided into many clans which have their characteristic differences in customs pertaining to birth, death, marriage, etc. Then there are the erstwhile low-castes who differ from all the other people in their habits and social customs. Besides, the three geographical strips, Majha, Malwa and Doaba have certain local cultural traits. It is marvelous that under all these peculiarities a thread of homogeneity binds the Punjabis together as a whole. The Greeks, the Scythians, the Parthians, the Huns, the Pathans and the Mughals came here, settled down and got woven into its cultural fabric.

This is copy-pasted from the following copyrighted book:

Not a single village in the Punjab is homogeneous. Every community has its own social customs which are different to some extent from those of others. Religion further determines this cultural difference and mode of living. Even when a Jat and a Khatri are next-door neighbours, some of their cultural traits remain different from each other. The practice of widow remarriage, for instance, is accepted by the Jats but it is almost a taboo among the Khatris. The Jats and the Khatris are further sub-divided into many clans which have their characteristic differences in customs pertaining to birth, death, marriage, etc. Then there are the erstwhile low-castes who differ from all the other people in their habits and social customs.

Language
Of the 24,754,737 people in the Punjab about 18,000,000 speak the provincial language, Punjabi, which varies in character in different parts of the province. About 4,000,000 speak Hindustani, this number including those whose ordinary vernacular is Hindi, but who understand and are gradually adopting the more comprehensive Hindustani. These two languages are the most generally used throughout the province, but not equally in all parts. The other languages in use are more or less local. The hill dialects, known as Pahari, are akin to the language spoken in Rajputana; and so also is the speech of the Gujars. Hindustani is the language of the law courts and of all ordinary officials and other communications with chiefs and people.

Article is largely devoid of useful information

I note that the article, as it is now( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ror&oldid=1038138876) provides very little information that a reader would find useful. Some of the information from the earlier versions should be restored.

"Ror is an Indian caste."
"In the parts of Baiswara in Uttar Pradesh that are inhabited by Ror people,[1] Rors along with groups such as the Chauhans and Tomars are associated with Delhi and its outskirts."
"The migration history of Rors began and ended in Haryana, a region north of Delhi.[2]"

They don't tell me much.

Specifically the reports based on scholarly studies should be mentioned. Discussion of Varna (it is a problematic issue, since there is no established standard for judging that) should be avoided. If legends are mentioned, their sources should be cited. A modern oral legend is not as useful as a tradition with some literary history. Malaiya ( talk) 20:51, 10 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Query

LaundryPizza03, this edit seems like a good-faith oversight, as the source does mention Rors on page no. 167. Here's the relevant quote:

Helpful indications were ethnographies compiled during the era of the British Raj. For example it is reported that Chauhan (Chahamana) Rajputs had numerous settlements on the outskirts of Delhi by the early part of the twentieth century.6 Also in large numbers were Tomar (Tomara) Rajputs, a clan historically connected with the Chauhans.7 Also interestingly, not only these groups, but other groups as well, had a migration history that was by their own traditions quite modest. Another warrior pastoralist group, the Rors, had a migration history that began and ended within Haryana, a region just north of Delhi.8

So I guess the details and the relevant content should be reinstated. - NitinMlk ( talk) 17:51, 11 August 2021 (UTC) reply

@ NitinMlk: Okay, it has been restored. But this is the only mention in the book, which I can't preview, and doesn't explain enough about the history of the Ror. Are there other reliable sources about this? – LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 04:40, 12 August 2021 (UTC) reply
LaundryPizza03, I apologise for the extreme delay. You are right that it's just a passing mention in the source.

The Ror became an independent caste identity in Haryana itself 261 years ago after the third battle of Panipat.

@ Arjayay: Moreover, genetics are not allowed in Indian caste/community articles per WP:CONSENSUS at WP:INB, reliable or not. Besides the research paper in question doesn't mention anything like what the IP is saying, it only implies that these samples seem to harbor high West Eurarian ancestries among the studied samples (thus can be extracted to be used as a proxy for the hypothetical ANI ancestry, previously done using the Kalash populations of Pakistan), it is still an admixed population (like most moderns in the world) and very much part of the Indian-Cline as geneticists term it, with ~60% of the female lineages (mtDNA) of native South Asian origin as well as 20% Andamanese Onge like ancestry as observed by the research itself. Not to mention it is not a favored research paper since it uses dated formula miscalculating averages, especially steppe proportions of all the samples it uses in the study. It is a moot point now since we cannot use genetics per consensus, but also need to note that news articles have miss quoted the research paper, similar to many other researches done in Indian media. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 12:30, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply

To the west of Jaisalmer, there is an old town called aror, which was the main area of ​​Dahir . when Qasim attacked Sindh, the people of ror and jat castes had shifted towards Haryana, by the way, Dahir was a Mohyal Brahmin. At the time of Chach, the Hindus of Sindh had taken part in the battle of camel in Basra, Iraq, (then further Mohyals also took part in Karbala) .then when Qasim got victory over Deval(712ad), many Hindu castes came towards Haryana from aror sindh and they were called ror and jats in haryana. 103.206.177.49 ( talk) 08:59, 18 January 2023 (UTC) reply

OBC not Forward

@ Kautilya3: Hello, someone has added that Ror are "Forward Caste" but they are not. The provided article is talking about their OBC reservation status in Haryana.

This article for example. https://www.livemint.com/Politics/pSY2eySzgDhkOMeDjayX1M/Jats-five-other-castes-granted-reservation-in-Haryana.html

  • Bills granting quota for Jats, five other castes passed in Haryana.
  • The bills propose quotas for Jats and five other castes—Jat Sikh, Ror, Bishnoi, Tyagi and Mulla Jat/Muslim Jat—by constituting a new classification Block ‘C’ in the Backward Classes category.
  • The Haryana Backward Classes (Reservation in Services and Admission in Educational Institutions) Bill, 2016, proposed to give statutory status to Backward Classes Block ‘A’, Backward Classes Block ‘B’ and Backward Classes Block ‘C’.

@ LaundryPizza03: Let me explain, chronologically.
1) User BharatGanguly added this sentence -> "It is classified as a Forward caste" based on a source [1] that mentions the opposite, that is Rors being categorized as a 'backward caste'. So it is a clear case of WP:OR, which is what I'm talking about above.
2) Yesterday, I corrected it [2], added the OBC bit, as well as added another source (livemint one provided by the IP above) to support that. Both are sources dated March 2016
3) Kautilya3 referred the Jat agitation article and provided a newer (May 2016) source above that talks about a stay order on the status. Hence, I've removed for now. Hope this makes me clear - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 09:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Fylindfotberserk: I'm pretty sure that misrepresentation of source is lying, not OR. I also think that we could just explain that the Ror used to be classified as an OBC, until the stay order on the classification was placed in May 2016. – LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 19:35, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ LaundryPizza03: That we can discuss with Kautilya3 (and other users if required). I've removed it for being contentious at the moment (see the page history as well). After eight+ months, I forgot a lot of Wiki-jargon and WP:OR is the one that struck my mind. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 20:03, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Fylindfotberserk, my edit in which I mentioned that the Ror is a forward caste wasn't OR. Check this Haryana govt site. Ror doesn't feature in either of the lists pertaining to OBCs and SCs. So, it obviously becomes a Forward caste. As far as granting reservation to Ror is concerned, Haryana govt tried to include the group in Backward classes but as rightly pointed out by Kautilya3, it could never be implemented due to court stay. So, what matters is the present status ie "forward". I tried to find sources which explicitly use the term forward for Rors but couldn't find any. However, it was easy to find sources which identify Ror as an upper caste like this one. BharatGanguly ( talk) 17:45, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ BharatGanguly: Explicit mention is required otherwise it becomes WP:OR. As for the uppercaste bit, while it is supported in your reference, I don't see it being used in the lede of Brahmin or Rajput articles for example, or lower caste in the Chamar article for that matter. Jats is another good article to look into, which doesn't mention anything of this sort in the lead either. Personally, I don't think these identifiers are necessary, atleast in the lead. I'll ping a few editors @ Sitush, LukeEmily, Admantine123, Chariotrider555, and NitinMlk: - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 18:16, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Fylindfotberserk, the case of Jat is different as it has got OBC status in several states like Delhi, UP and Rajasthan. However, in case of Ror, they have no access to reservation in any of the Indian state and it can easily be verified from the sites of respective state govts. Explicit mention is difficult to get. I would call it common sense rather than OR to mention forward caste. BharatGanguly ( talk) 18:30, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
@ BharatGanguly: I mentioned other caste articles also. WP:OR is necessary, or we don't mention it at all. IMO it is not important, I don't see the forward caste or general category tagged in articles. Lets see what others had to say. Lets get a WP:CONSENSUS here. Pinging @ Kautilya3 and LaundryPizza03: as well. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 18:37, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
I think it is fine to leave it out. The stay order means that the government order did not take effect. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 22:37, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Agree with both @ Kautilya3: and @ Fylindfotberserk:. Definitely not suitable for lead. Also, as Kautilya3 says, if there is a stay order that means they are not OBC right now. BTW, Rajput is OBC in Karnataka but not sure why they have mentioned forward caste with Karnataka as an exception in lead. Also Ravana Rajputs, Kanet Rajputs are OBC. In general, IMHO, we should remove forward caste or OBC etc. from lead as it is too complex at times (just like Varna). LukeEmily ( talk) 14:17, 28 May 2023 (UTC) reply

I was pinged here one month ago, but the discussion is already over. Anyway, I agree with the points made by Fylindfotberserk, Kautilya3, and LukeEmily. Note that even if they will somehow get the OBC status in Haryana state, Rors and Jats of Haryana will still remain Forward caste in the Central Government list. In fact, leaving behind Rajasthan's selected districts, Jats will remain Forward Caste at the Central level, as the highest authority (Supreme Court) has already ruled against their inclusion. [1]

Upper caste and lower caste depend on context, region, period, etc. Any non-Dalit caste is upper caste in comparison to Dalits, although it may itself be tagged as lower caste in comparison to some other non-Dalit castes. Similarly, a caste may be 'upper' in one state and 'lower' in the other. So this is a comparative term and shouldn't be used in the lead or out of context. - NitinMlk ( talk) 21:14, 25 June 2023 (UTC) reply

ISBN  978-0-19-870489-8. The one recent exception to this judicial deference, despite poor data, concerns OBC reservations for Jats. Jats are a socially and politically (though not educationally) powerful landed caste in northern India. In 2014, the Union Government, in the face of intense political lobbying, notified Jats as 'OBCs' in nine states, despite a contrary recommendation from the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC). In response, the Supreme Court struck down the government notification, terming the original NCBC recommendation 'adequately supported by good and acceptable reasons'.

Anuj Choudhary Ror, the source provided by you is unreliable for caste, as it is a self-published book by an engineer: it is published by Notion Press – see WP:SPS. Please find a reliable source. BTW, caste members routinely publish puffery pieces about their own caste, but they aren't considered reliable on this project. - NitinMlk ( talk) 21:21, 25 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Dalel Singh Ror You should have no doubts as the name itself suggests that it is Ror and the article also says the same. Please add this information on Notable Person Section.
Thank You Anuj Choudhary Ror ( talk) 07:19, 28 June 2023 (UTC) reply
No, that's not how it works. If the person is alive, you have to provide a source (an interview) where s/he explicitly mentions that they belong to XYZ caste per consensus and policy WP:CASTEID. Having a certain surname isn't enough. Secondly, for the respective articles of the individuals, per the same policy you have to demonstrate that his/her caste is important in their endeavors which is most of the time not the case - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 09:47, 28 June 2023 (UTC) reply

We have consensus not to add content based on genetic researches on caste/community articles of India and related regions. I believe it has been discussed in this talk page many times and ahve been rejected. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 12:02, 4 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Isha Books

Isha Books, along with Gyan Publishing and Kalpaz Publications, are not considered reliable on this project, as they plagiarise even Wikipedia – see here. They are so notorious that I just needed to glance at a few pages of the source in question to find blatant plagiarism. Expectedly, the book plagiarises from here, there, and everywhere, e.g. check out page no. 229, which is fully plagiarised from two different sources:

Example of typical plagiarism by Isha Books

Here is the first half of the page no. 229:

Not a single village in the Punjab is homogeneous. Every community has its own social customs which are different to some extent from those of others. Religion further determines this cultural difference and mode of living. Even when a Jat and a Khatri are next-door neighbours, some of their cultural traits remain different from each other. The practice of widow remarriage, for instance, is accepted by the Jats but it is almost a taboo among the Khatris. The Jats and the Khatris are further sub-divided into many clans which have their characteristic differences in customs pertaining to birth, death, marriage, etc. Then there are the erstwhile low-castes who differ from all the other people in their habits and social customs. Besides, the three geographical strips, Majha, Malwa and Doaba have certain local cultural traits. It is marvelous that under all these peculiarities a thread of homogeneity binds the Punjabis together as a whole. The Greeks, the Scythians, the Parthians, the Huns, the Pathans and the Mughals came here, settled down and got woven into its cultural fabric.

Language
Of the 24,754,737 people in the Punjab about 18,000,000 speak the provincial language, Punjabi, which varies in character in different parts of the province. About 4,000,000 speak Hindustani, this number including those whose ordinary vernacular is Hindi, but who understand and are gradually adopting the more comprehensive Hindustani. These two languages are the most generally used throughout the province, but not equally in all parts. The other languages in use are more or less local. The hill dialects, known as Pahari, are akin to the language spoken in Rajputana; and so also is the speech of the Gujars. Hindustani is the language of the law courts and of all ordinary officials and other communications with chiefs and people.
