ON KAMBOJ/KAMBOH AND KAMBOJA CONNECTION
A glossary of the tribes and castes of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Provine by H. A. Rose was written in 1882 not in 1997 and it is already out-dated. H. A. Rose was somewhat confused in his write-up on the Kamboh/Kamboj in the Glossary which he first wrote in 1881/1882.

But as against H. A. Rose, one can also produce  below the list of  other Foreign and Indian scholars who indisputably connect/link the Kamboh/Kamboj with Ancient Kambojas. I have collected only few important one’s. There is numerous more on the list. One can multiply this list by the hundereds and thousands if quantity is any criteria for this purpose. So please stop misrepresenting the Kamboj history out-of bias and don’t base your decision on the lone statement of out-dated H. A Rose of the 1881/182. Even several of his arguments on Kamboj are out-of-place and can be easily dispensed with.

RFC discussion: May 2012
Since yesterday, an IP has been editing this, starting by reverting to a version from 15 November 2009‎ (in my edit summary I said August 2010; that's also correct as those two versions are identical) and has now added a LOT of extra information, making it a lot more like a Wikipedia article than it was previously. I don't however feel confident enough on this subject to clean it up myself, so I'm listing it here. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:54, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems this may be Wikipedia:User:Satbir Singh, indef blocked some years ago for editing Kamboj-related articles in an unacceptable way. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:46, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It's getting longer and longer. Any objections if I trim it right back to a simple dictionary definition? SemperBlotto (talk) 21:31, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds fine to me- maybe it's just 'cause I'm a newbie, but I think that's why it's in RFC... ;-) I've been watching that rickety pile of POV accumulating for some time now, but I don't know the subject matter well enough to deal with a persistently contentious user like this one seems to be. That noise you hear in the background is a whole bunch of people trying to conceal their relief that someone else is dealing with this. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:16, 22 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I've done some trimming. I think the etymology section is good now (somewhat expanded, but not so much that it becomes encyclopedic). My concern is with the three senses which exist now where there was previously only one. - -sche (discuss) 09:52, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
