Historian Kamal Shankar Srivastava writes that all Khukrains including Sethis were originally found near the banks of Indus and Jhelum river especially in the towns of Pind Dadan Khan, Peshawar and Nowshera.In Peshawar, the Sethi Khatri was associated with mercantile activities along the Karakorum Highway. The Sethi muhallah in the old walled-city of Peshawar housed which was established by the Sethi clan is very close to the oldest settled location in the walled city known as Gor Khatri (Grave of the Khatris), famous for its religious structures and bustling bazars.Sethi is derived from the word "Sreshta" meaning "Pure" or "Superior" . Many Sethi Khatris adopted Sikhism as well. During the times of Guru Arjan, Bhai Chuhar Sethi, Bhai Sain Sethi and Bhai Lama Sethi were important leaders of Sikhs who were all good musicians too. Besides, they were very good commentators of scriptures. The Sikh Sangat including Guru Arjan had high appreciation for their artistic skills. A Sikh masand by the name of Sadh was a Sethi of Balkh, Afghanistan who arranged horses for Guru Arjan in an emergency situation when Guru's son fell ill. During 1782, a poet named Agra Sethi wrote "Haqiqat Rai di Var" which was about the real life incident of Haqiqat Rai Puri, a Hindu martyr.
