Nice thread by @BharadwajSpeaks. There is a long tradition of record-keeping by the Brahmins at Haridwar etc. This is a rich source of historical record which has not really been tapped.
It will be interesting to find the purohit of the "Sikh" Sodhis and when the records stop.

Exactly, this is what I meant. I suspect that it is only after Macaullife-Sikhi made by the British that they stopped going to Haridwar. Before that all records must be present of their purohits.

Yes, I went and got my ancestral records on my father's death. As a "modern English-educated" Indian I had no idea all this even existed.
Hindus are supposed to have no sense of history. Yet we've preserved meticulous ancestral records for generations.

How many places in India are ancestral record preserved?
