Fylindfotberserk: I have not been able to verify that Luipa was a Jalia Kaibarta. The Paniker reference does not mention it, and I do not have access to Dasgupta. If you see it, then I shall let it be. Thanks for bringing it to my notice.

Yes, exactly.
Fylindfotberserk, I also could not access Dasgupta, and Paniker does not mention it; seems to be a POV edit in order to promote the community. Since the same couldn't be verified, I believe it should be removed. Thanks.

The fact that you, guys, do not have access to some source quoted by someone else, can never be a good reason to remove an edit. The fact is only a proof of your incompetence in searching for a book that is very easlily accessible through Internet Archive - in
four copies of different editions. Therefore I have restored it. and edited a bit.

NoychoH: Well, thanks for adding
this but refrain from making personal attacks and maintain
WP:CIVIL. Also do not add unsourced content, original researches and POV content that looks like promotion of certain community as you did by writing "Kaibbarta community have a great contribution in shaping towards modern Assam.". -

NoychoH: footnote 4 in page 384 (3rd edition) mentions that Luipa belongs to the fisherman caste in a Buddhist book. It is WP:OR to claim that this fisherman caste is Jalia Kaibarta, unless it is specifically mentioned.

This page seems to require some expert attention because the situation is complex.
The Kaibarta people are spread over a large area, not just Bengal. They are found in Assam and Odisha too. It is probably best to develop this article as
Kaivarta people.
In Assam, they find mention very early. They are also called as Keots. Their position in Assam is comparatively better than in other places.
The Doms and Nadiyals (at least in Assam) are different but they sometimes call themselves as Kaivartas. It seems non-Dom and non-Nadiyal Kaivartas resent this.
This is a brief description
[1]. There are problems with this source (too much reliance on racial types etc.) but it is a good starting point.

The 2012 consensus in
WT:IN was about mentioning caste in BLPs. Although this might appear as hair-splitting, the current issue is with the inclusion of a person that has a WP page in a list of notable people in a XXX people/tribe/caste article. It is of course the mirror image of mentioning group/caste etc. identity in a BLP, so I agree to apply the creiteria of the
WT:IN-consensus here; otherwise we will have insufficiently supported information entering through the backdoor. –
