The copy of Raychaudhuri's book is available on the net. The book is cited here for the Saini bit in the lead, but it does not mention Saini anywhere in it. Also, it mentions Sourasenoi & Cleisobora only once (at page no. 71). I am quoting the relevant mention here:

The Surasena country had its capital at Mathura on the Yamuna. Neither Surasena nor Mathura finds any mention in the Vedic literature. But the Greek writers refer to the Sourasenoi and their cities Methora and Cleisobora.

So I will remove the misrepresentation from the lead, along with correcting the cited page number. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:27, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
