Hi,

I requested to you that please change its Heding Betwal to Betwal Rajput because Batwal Rajput are suryavanshi and branch of katil Rajput. I have so many references for this. I will show you if give me a chance, I will tell you one of them which is, 488 page of A GLOSSARY of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province, Volume 2 Shariqueshah (talk) 16:47, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Batwal Rajput community is currently classified as a Scheduled Caste (SC) in India. This classification is based on their socio-economic conditions and historical marginalization. While they may still hold on to some cultural and traditional practices associated with their Rajput heritage, their official categorization and the benefits and challenges associated with it are primarily linked to their SC status. Therefore, despite their Rajput origins, the Batwal community today is often recognized as part of the SC category in official records. 2409:40D1:101C:801B:7C8F:5:1E1:C5F2 (talk) 03:51, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
