The class mention of the Chudial is certainly not correct. A chudial can be any female evil spirit - irrespective of class.
The general folklore is that she drinks the blood of men so that she remains young and beautiful.
Its more like a cross between the western vampire and count Dracula. — Preceding

The tone is consistent with FA
Vampire. "is said", "is believed", "is described" is used at start of paragraphs and then "is", "does something" is used. Similar writing style is also used in the references. Not very sentence uses "is said", "is believed", "is described". --

GA review (see
here for what the criteria are, and
here for what they are not)
The article meets all criteria of a good article except criterion 3a. The article does not address key aspects of the concept. For example, when did the concept originate in Hinduism? How did it evolve over the centuries? Has it crossed-over and become a part of Muslim cultures? Is the concept known only in India or does it exist in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, etc.? Three types are mentioned but the focus is almost entirely on "Soshi". The other two are not discussed in depth. What does science have to say about the phenomenon - has there been any scientific research at all or not? Any examples of particular cases in the form of folk stories? The article needs to be expanded substantially to include these points and possibly more before it can pass criterion 3a.
