Sourcing
Unless this article gets some decent sources soon I am inclined to take it back to a stub. There is also too much in it that appears likely to be close paraphrasing etc. -

This article is not about the Gaharwar zamindars of Mirzapur or the Gaharwal clans of that area. It is about the Gahadavala dynasty, whose inscriptions do not claim any connection to the legendary Suryavansha. The claims connecting them to Suryavanshi Rathores first appear in the historically unreliable medieval legendary texts such as Prithviraj Raso and Alha Khand. Others, such as the Kantit feudal estate rulers, claimed descent from Gahadavalas through Yayati, thus implying a Chandravanshi origin. Kṛṣṇāmśacarita claims that the Gahadavalas were part of the Agnivansha. See Rethinking India's Oral and Classical Epics, Page 232. These all are, obviously, mythical legends: no human kings were born from the Sun, the Moon or the Fire.

The important speciality of the Khatik caste is that they are brave and self-respecting... they are a warrior caste (p. 35)
They [the Khatik caste] have always been eager to make the demons of Islamic power the victims of their revenge (. 39)
To protect Hinduism, the Khatiks domesticated pigs, the sworn enemies of Islam (p. 40-41)
The Khatiks had been entrusted with preventing the Arab-Persian Muslims (who had banished by Aryans for being uncultured, irreligious, lazy and robbers) from entering India (p. 54-55)
The Khatiks were called Kath in ancient times... Kathopanishad was composed by the scholars of this clan... there is no doubt that Kathiawad was also named after them (p. 66)
The socio-economic conditions of Khatiks has been bad because they were always occupied in wars to protect India... e.g. against Tamerlane, for Rana Pratap and Shivaji... The British had heard about their bravery, that's why the British tried to suppress them by classifying them among the criminal tribes (p. 68)
