‘Aliman’ is one of the most popular pages on Indpaedia. Details are not easily available about this famous community/ gotra. Therefore we have been making appeals to our readers, as at the top of this page.
Since no details have been sent by any reader, we have attempted the ‘21st century’ section ourselves, using AI. We await your feedback in the form of messages to the Facebook community, Indpaedia.com.
