| Kautilya, the edits to the article is as per the reference cited and have given comments for every edit mentioning the same. Request you to please check them before removing the edits. As per the edits I have only reinstated what is mentioned as per the references cited. Why is the same being reverted would this not be called edit warring? and rather the privileges of such editors be revoked here? And again why is sourced content being modified here. I have clearly mentioned the reference as well as the reason for the edit in the edit summary for all my edits under the heading "Edit Summary". The reference cites Komatis to be present in Maharashtra and will repaste the same reference that you yourself have sourced and cited (BTW looks deliberate as there is inclusion of minor incidents that reference to riots and other inciteful content between communities which serve no informative purpose here) To further reason, why should any incident involving another community that occurred during the British Era in a particular time limited to George Town which is nothing but a nook and corner incident, even find mention here? and again I have only included only the sourced content from the same reference provided then why is it removed and pasted in bits? as if to incite people or communities further? I checked further and found these to be included by user Kautilya and is of surprise to me here as I didn't expect this from Misplaced Pages editors as I held user Kautilya in good esteem. | |||

| Again it clearly mentions riots happened when business contracts alluded Komatis and Balijia Naidus who were first to riot with Beri Chettiars which forced the British to apportion commercial and residential areas of George Town. | |||
| == Edit Request for Audrey truschke == | |||
| My edit cites the same here below is the reference" https://books.google.co.in/books?id=imh4AgAAQBAJ&pg=PT142&lpg=PT142&dq=komati+caste&source=bl&ots=UPEt8nWzsh&sig=dLRi4_vSSASbrRCjU_mZ3_EZoEY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwialpWjjIHLAhUGcI4KHRXAAFA4ChDoAQg_MAc#v=onepage&q=komati&f=false" | |||
| Hi! I am proposing a new edit request for Audrey truschke. This edit will include an author named girish shahane who issued a critique of her work on aurangzeb. This seems like a legitimate edit since the review was published in a reputable indian news outlet called scroll in. | |||
| Mines, Mattison (1992), "Individuality and Achievement in South Indian Social History", Modern Asian Studies 26 (1): 129–156, JSTOR 312720 | |||
| https://scroll.in/article/856178/aurangzeb-was-a-bigot-not-just-by-our-standards-but-by-those-of-his-predecessors-and-peers | |||
| Also finally let's not discredit the origins of Gomathi for the alternate origins mentioned by authors during British times and exclude the importance of contemporary authors and keep both of them. Mentioning Gomathi as "one theory" seems to discredit the same, hence I have mentioned both the accepted and alternate theory about British authors during the Raj. I also checked further information and also found that the Author is from the same community and hence it's of obvious credence. Also the same that the word Komati to have its origins in Gomathi is mentioned in government journals which cannot be rubbished away. | |||
| I really don't see why this can't be used as a valid critique even if the critique isn't is a historian. I'm just wondering why criticism has to come from only a historian for it to be valid. Can it not come from a reputable news outlet? Hope to hear from you thanks............... ] (]) 00:29, 22 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

| : Hi Ghatus, if you understand mathematics a little bit, you would know the idea of "exponential growth," where roughly speaking things double every few years. When you have processes that grow exponentially, the past is a poor indicator of the future. The American public thinks global warming is a myth because they see the past as a predictor of the future. But we produce enough green house gases in 5 years (say) as we did in the entire history of the planet. In India, similarly, there is a reluctance to understand the exponential growth of Hindu nationalism. "We have been ok, so we will be ok." Mathematics says that is false reasoning. We produce as many fanatics in 5 years (say) as we did in the entire history. Nobody knows what will happen. - ] (]) 12:02, 25 February 2016 (UTC) | |||

Actually, one communalism feeds the other communialism as they are complement to each other. As a history student, I see the fall of Congress as the result of its compromise on the ideal of "real" pluralism (secularism) and the rise of BJP as a successful exploitation of the contradictions in the "so called Congressi secular narrative of post independent India". To me, today's Hindutva force is a reactionary force - a reaction to post 70's congressi hypocrisy on pluralism. And like all reactionary forces, Hindutva generally focuses on both "racial masculinity" and "patriotic nationalism".

| :::"Hind-Sind divide"(as historians call it) over IVC started in 1940s, before partition. It's nothing new.(Hind=India, Sind=Pakistan). The civilization never exclusively belonged to one country alone. It's not a left-right ideological divide, but rather political one which has its root in an artificial attempt by the founding fathers of Pakistan to give Pakistan a separate identity independent of India/Indian history. The bluff was exposed in '60 & '70. It's a settled debate now that there were also urban settlements beyond Punjab and R'stan in the east upto UP. ] (]) 17:53, 26 February 2016 (UTC) | |||

| Secularism in India is exact opposite of secularism in America. For example, secularism in America is ], with same civil code for Christians, Jews, Hindus etc. Secularism in India is state control of religious institutions and different civil codes for different religions, including Sharia law. Free speech in India means that universities and employers cannot expel people even if they fly flag of ISIS. Free speech in America does not supersede codes of conduct of universities and employers.

| I was reading some wikipedia guidelines and they seem to suggest that the burden of proof lies on the person wishing to add or restore content. In most cases, content that is uncited is also unverifiable. A lot of it is potentially contentious. Is it not better to err on the side of caution? I, for one, would rather have articles that are less detailed but reliable than detailed articles that are potentially full of lies. ] (]) 14:31, 27 February 2016 (UTC) | |||

Kautilya
I ginally understand, I think, why you use the name "Kautilya." I always wondered why you would use a reference to a 'prime minister' of Chandragupta, but it's a reference to encyclopedic collecting and compiling information. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 16:39, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Edit Request for Audrey truschke
Hi! I am proposing a new edit request for Audrey truschke. This edit will include an author named girish shahane who issued a critique of her work on aurangzeb. This seems like a legitimate edit since the review was published in a reputable indian news outlet called scroll in.
I really don't see why this can't be used as a valid critique even if the critique isn't is a historian. I'm just wondering why criticism has to come from only a historian for it to be valid. Can it not come from a reputable news outlet? Hope to hear from you thanks............... Ker3243 (talk) 00:29, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Academic works get academic reviews, published in journals. They get a lot higher weightage than those published in news outlets. History is a very ancient subject dating back to Herodotus and Aristotle. There is a long tradition of how to assess historical data, which scholarly historians follow. Popular historians know nothing about it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:37, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
