Baij Nath Puri has published a glorifying account of the Khatri caste.

The footnote :- {{tq|Puri 1988: 3, 78, 163, 166. The writer appeals to the Khatri 'race' to 'wake up' and cherish their heritage as 'followers of the Hindu Dharma Sastras' (5). Above all they should guard against 'hybridising', i.e. marrying non-Khatris (166). These views closely resemble those of pre-Independence race theorists (see Chapters 3-4). Compare Seth 1904}} |

It seems this page does not have information about people born/living in Nepal their caste is Khatri. One good example is myself. I did not originate from India, Pakistan or Afghanistan. It should be corrected. Adarshkhatri (talk) 04:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

As recently as 1988, a polemicist representing himself as an Oxford-trained Indian 'socio-historian' published an account of the supposed origins and heritage of north India's Khatris. Today, as in the past, those who call themselves Khatri favour the livelihoods of the pen and the ledger. In the colonial period, however, Khatri caste associations extolled the heritage of their 'community' as one of prowess and noble service (seva), claiming that their dharmic essence was that of the arms-bearing Kshatriya and therefore quite unlike that of the commercial Agarwals and other pacific Vaishyas. These same themes were recapitulated by the author of the 1988 text: the Khatris, 'one of the most acute, energetic, and remarkable race in India', are heirs to a glorious martial past, 'pure descendants of the old Vedic Kshatriyas'.
