@Ms Sarah Welch:, I had created this article years ago. As you are an expert in religious history and topics, I invite you to improve/rewrite this article. The above link and few references in article are scholarly sources. I have Idea of Gujarat book but yet to use that ref in the article as well (I can send you relevant pages if you need). The topic is complex and kind of interesting. There are no edit warriors here luckily. Have a look. What do you say? -Nizil (talk) 07:45, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Expecting to work on South and Central Indian topics for a while. Years ago I visited Kachch region. Saw the numerous temple ruins there, as well as in Palitana/Junagadh/Rajkot region. Wonderful memories of the Jain and the Vaishnava community there. Saxena's papers imply a historically prosperous Jakh community. You may want to look for any mention of Jakh in the numerous Sanskrit / Prakrit / Arabic / Persian inscriptions and manuscripts found in Gujarat, to bring a more firmer historic basis to this article. Avoid Indian newspapers as source for history, anthropology etc. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 09:53, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

@Ms Sarah Welch: Thanks for inputs. I will remove all newspaper sources and will focus on academic sources. I will rewrite it in future. -Nizil (talk) 06:25, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
