[edit] This is pure non-sense
I really don't know about Indian Muslim or Pakistan Muslim. I know for sure that there is no caste system or Ashrafs/Arzal or Quoms exist in Bangladesh. I will remove the country name Bangladesh from this article unless someone can provide me evidence from good reliable source (Western based source or Bangladesh based source, not Indian based source). I know this because search word "Quoms" in google, it only gives 692 hits, which is very few for google search. Second, all the pages are either from forum/discussion board or the term is used for something else. Tarikur 04:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I am a Pakistani Muslim and I agree with you completely. Quom in Urdu means Kingdom or nation not caste. I have tried to correct this entry regarding Pakistan (because I don't know about Indian Muslims) here and on the more general caste page but someone keeps reverting it back without even a cursory discussion of why. I have listed my problems with the entry on Pakistan in this article and in the more general caste discussion page here: [1]

What does that word mean? Agoras 05:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Barani
From what I have read so far, there were ulema besides Barani who sanctioned the caste system. This article seems to focus on that 'alim too much and does not mention others. Agoras 05:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
