What's all this nonsense about Punjabi Suris. As far as I know, Suris are entirely Pashtun. If there are any Khatri Punjabi Suris then they are of an entirely different ancestry and certainly not Pashtun ancestry.

Verifiable
I have taken that info off as there is no link of evidence between them, neither has any verifiable citation been provided for this connection. Hence the irrelevance of this has promoted it's removal from this page until the evidence can be provided.--

On 10th March user Alefbe deletes link to this article from another article
[1] Ghurid Dynasty Doesent discuss simply deletes suggesting his reasons for deletion, that this article is poor quality .
[2] Stating 11th March and over 5 consecutive edits alefbe deletes 6 referenced contents fro reliable sources from this article . His deletions renders the article poor .
All deletions effected without any discussion on talk page .
Reliable sources which are talking about subject totally irrelevant to this page shouldn't be included (including them here is just misleading for the readers). None of them were talking about anything related to a Pashtun tribe (Named Sur or Suri). Out-of-context quoting is indeed a type of distortion of a source.

Agree with Alefbe. This article needs to have all primary sources and outdated sources removed. These sources have been used to push a POV which is not supported by modern day academic scholarship. --

Hi, sorry for the late response. I think there is a modern and non-colonial source called History of the Pathans. It's a multi-volume history of Pashtun tribes, spanning 2001-2012. I think the third volume will have some information on where the Sur fall within the Pashtun tribal landscape since it's about the history of the Bhittani/Ghilji tribes, the supercluster under which the Sur usually get grouped under. I will look into it.
