The origin of the Sumrahs has been ably and exhaustively discussed by Elliot in a long note. The Sumrahs were originally Hindus as the names of most of them signify. The title of Jam adopted by them is further evidence of their Hindu origin. This is the view accepted by Elliot and Elphinstone Elliot I, pp. 483—94, Jarett, Ain-i-Akbari, II, pp. 341—345. Elphinstone, History of India, pp. 304, 749, edited by Cowell.
