Schwartzberg has informed me that there is not any evidence provided by the Indian government of the presence of Sudanese in Kashmir.According to him, there is a possibility that the designation of "Sudhan," referring to the major ethnic group found in Punch and in adjacent tracts west of Jehlum, might have been somehow altered to become Sudanese.
