I do not think that Porwad and "Porwal" are same. We are also Porwal but not Jain. We are basically from MP and follow Vaishnav dharm. Porwals are Bania. In some cases you can find jain porwals as well but all Porwals are not Jain.

Porwals are basicaly of Rajasthan & many of they followed Jainism so they got coverted into Jain Porwal.It is also belved that VISA are that part of community who were banned from getting Girls to a JAIN VISA PORWAL.

The result of the move request was: moved. No quorum. Can be reverted per WP:RMUM. Just to be safe, I did take a quick look at the ngrams and they do support the proposal as claimed by nom.[1] (closed by non-admin page mover) estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:17, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Porwad → Porwal – Porwal is the most common spelling used in surname by the community members, It is also the spelling used in Indian History Academia when referring to this community as is evident from the contents of the first reference of this article itself. The Google Ngram Viewer also affirms the much higher occurence of the term "Porwal" in contrast to "Porwad", so it is better to swap the article: Porwad with its redirect: Porwal.
