The Khatri are a people with an undefined people cluster. They are also known as Arora Khatri, Bhiya Kshatriya, Chhatri, Katri, Khakar, Khakha, Khattri, Khakhar, Khakha Khatri, Patnulkaran, Patnulkarar, or Sethara. They are found mostly in India, but a small population resides in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
They are a trading and business caste that originated in Punjab. In India, they are one of the most progressive and advanced communities. They often marry within their own community. They speak Urdu and other languages.
Their primary religion is Sikhism, which most Khatri take very seriously. Sikhism originally formed as a sect of Hinduism; it was intended to blend the best aspects of Hinduism with the best of Islam. There are few if any known believers among Khatri Sikhs.
There is a Bible, JESUS Film, Christian audio recordings, radio broadcasts, and the God's Story video in many of their languages. Ideally, Christ followers would call their attention to these resources.
Pray for a spiritual hunger that will give the Sikh Khatri people a willingness to investigate the claims of Jesus Christ.
Pray for a Disciple Making Movement among Sikh Khatri people in Afghanistan.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the Khatri people and tell them the good news.
