Kannada vs Hindi

No dear,I dont hate Binguyen.I have not taken it personally.But ideally shouldnt all of those who behave in uncivil manner are to be blocked?Why ONLY me! Anyways,do u have any information about Rashtrakuta?Sarvagnya and his Kannadi vandalisers are creating havoc by kannadisation of each and every article possible.mahawiki 03:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah,U know what, i dont have any personal grudges against him.But he's surely gave in to those Kannadi vandalisers and he surely thinks I am a mindless roudy vandaliser!I feel very bad when he is being partial.mahawiki 04:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey, thanks for fixing the WP Bangladesh template, and adding it to several places. I also noticed that you've added your name to WP Bd... welcome there. Perhaps you might do some googling and work on some temples of BD? We have only 4-5 temple articles now ... but there should be more to represent the others.

To get you started with something related to Bengal and Bengali renaissance, how about Kaliprasanna Singha? He is credited with one of the first Bengali prose "Hutom Penchar Noksha" (Recollections of an owl?). That's sort of a collection of essays on contemporary events in the 1850s Calcutta ... I've read it and it's interesting. What might interest you is that he is also credited with translation of Mahabharata into Bengali prose form. --Ragib 08:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Reply

Since you are removing Bogus warnings please start with these. and please do look up the users posting these as they have a history of doing this. ( for which you have been warned in the past). as well of others and . Incidentally these involve you and subhash, since you are so particular to remove what in your opinion is bogus warning on Subhash's page, kindly do clean up all the bogus warnings he has issued. It would really add to your edit count too as the number would be huge. Haphar

Just ignore the stuff about you being Subhash's sock.Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 02:31, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

POV additions to 2006 blasts at Malegaon

I believe that the recent edit done by TerryJ-Ho to this article is POV (per my revert summary of his edits).I could perhaps use another pair of eyes to look at it if you wouldn't mind. Thanks:

You are not a sockpuppet

Your editing patterns are not at all similar to that of Subhash bose or Hkelkar, so I would not support any sockpuppet accusation against you. BhaiSaab 01:14, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Have you ever thought that perhaps Subhash bose learned some lessons from his old account and decides not to show incivil tendencies in his other account? BhaiSaab 01:20, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Not at all. Where there's a will, there's a way and we've seen that Subhash bose has the will to use sockpuppets. BhaiSaab 01:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

That's actually a very good question. I will check for similarities in the usage of non-English phrases. Thanks. BhaiSaab 01:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Kannada literatureDineshkannambadi 02:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I did not quite understand your message on Kannada literature. Did you mean to say you will create a page for it containing the names of poets? or their works? or both?. There is already a page for Kannada literature. I had created a page called Karnataka literature that contains both Kannada and Sanskrit scholars from the Karnataka region. Is this the page you were writing about?

Will you pl. see the copy-pasted article of India Today on talk pages of Swadhyay Parivar along with my comments?

Swadhyayee 12:53, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Lo.. thanks for trying... actually Fundy Watch was never meant to be an explicitly anti-Muslim/anti-Pakistan cabal. It came along most due to childish vandalisms by User:Siddiqui. I believe Misplaced Pages has become needlessly bureaucratic. Admins have this habit of seeing Hindutvadis everywhere.. their behaviour infact encourages certain POV pushers. I'll be busy this year with A Levels and hence i wont be able to contribute regularly to wikipedia. Yet do mail me if you need any help.. esp. with POV articles...

Greetings from Turkey

Hello, this is Bahar from the Turkish Misplaced Pages. If you don't mind, I was going to ask you something. A Turkish user 'Tembelejderha' (lazy dragon) is asking what his user name is in other languages. If you can write its' Tamil and Hindi to my talk page below the title of "Translations for Tembel ejderha", that would be great. Thank-you very much. Bahar (means spring in Turkish)

Hi I believe you are an administrator hence am paine dto report vandalism on the above mentione darticle by Asprakash.He clearly is an ardent devotee,a relative or a diehard Tamil form what he has been doing to the article time and gain.You may recall he had deleted the Controversies section altogether and you had reverted it.He has done it again.Heis panegyrations for Aiyar are transgressing all parameters of objectivity.Time and again I had to stop him from using weasel terms like 'brilliant' and I find his comparision of Aiyar with Gandhi laughable for its total absence of balance.I have tried to expain to him that I am a Tamil myself(and an Iyer) but to support someone just because he is aTamil goes against the very spirit of Wiki.However he seems bent on it despite advice by Deepujoseph.I think time has come for some strong action.I leave it to you f you wish to revert the deletion all of which was referenced.(Vr 06:43, 14 September 2006 (UTC))

Relax man

if you are thinking so than i must clarify that I am not a hardline Atheist like, say Salman Rushdie. And we are not claiming that there are hindu atheists (though there are), we are just saying that even an atheist can be a hindu. This is important in the intro section as it is something unique to Hinduism. We are just talking about the philosophy part, so we dont need to have evidence for atheists among contemporary hindus. The other statement is this, which claims that majority of contemporary hindus are vedanta followers and they worship Even vishnu and Shiva in a form of cosmic spirit called brahmana. I guess it is completely wrong. Because this is just a view of Advaita vedanta and if there is a census, they wont find more than 1% followers. You would also be knowing that none of the vaishnavites and shaivites regard their gods as a form of cosmic spirit.nids(♂) 07:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the Aryan/Dravidian controversy and your unfounded attack

HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF HAVING AN AGENDA TO DISCREDIT HINDU CULTURE! I may be Pakistani but that does not mean I'm here to discredit it or I'm naturally biased. I'm stating what most academics accept as the truth. To tell you the truth, I'm ONE OF THE FEW PAKISTANIS ON THIS BLOODY ENCYCLOPEDIA THAT STILL ACKNOWLEDGES THE FACT THAT PAKISTAN AND INDIA WERE HISTORICALLY THE SAME CIVILIZATION. ASK User: Freedom Skies FOR PROOF. I'VE RECEIVED HARSH CRITICISM FROM MANY PAKISTANIS ON HERE FOR "ACCEPTING INDIAN POV" UP TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ACCUSE ME OF BEING INDIAN! YOU ARE FOOLISH FOR MAKING SUCH ASSERTIONS! With regards to this theory, I think you've looked at the original version way too much and have completely ignored what modern mainstream academics show. The modern, updated version of this theory states that a linguistic group of Eurasian nomads who may have referred to themselves as "Arya" but were perhaps a tribal confederation of several old racial stocks speaking a common tongue, migrated to the subcontinent gradually in family groups. They gradually displaced the local population, driving them either south or absorbing them into their own society via the caste system. From genetics, it is proven that the majority of the migrants were probably male, so they intermarried with local women extensively. As a result, ALL SOUTH ASIAN PEOPLE have a common mitochondrial base dating back to the earliest homo sapien migrants to the subcontinent 30,000-50,000 years ago. It is in terms of y-chromosomes, that differences appear. Upper castes and northern indians tend to exhibit greater quantities of Eurasian genes in their Y-chromosomes. The greatest frequency, in fact, comes from the Punjabis, whose y-chromosomes are 40%-50% derived from ancient Eurasian nomadic migrants and invaders that came within the last 3000 years and later. The same is true for Kashmiris and other north indian groups, but it gets lesser as you go down the country. The languages, however, are known to have spread greatly beyond the genes, into Bengal, Assam, Maharashtra and the central regions, where probably only a few "Aryans" came and mingled with a mostly indigenous population who took on the languages. The same is true for the Sinhalese and the Maldivians. ( I think I butchered the latter nationality's spelling). This was probably more to do with the cultural influence of the Indo-Aryans and how their cultures spread through trade and acquisition, rather than through further population replacements. Thus, the peoples of the subcontinent are greatly mixed, yet all are the same and have the same mitochondrial ancestors from the dawn of human habitation in the subcontinent. Nevertheless, in the north and south, there do exist racial types that wouldnt be found in the other region. Many Punjabis in Northwest India and Pakistan have prominent, Afghan-influenced faces that wouldnt be found in say Tamil Nadu. Kashmiris have a racial type that most definetely would not be found anywhere within the south (except maybe Hyderabad where alot of Muslims came from similar regions anyway). You see, being located where it is, Indians and Pakistanis have a color tone that varies depending on how far or close you are to the equator. The closer you are, you will be more dark. Likewise, the more south your traditional homeland is in India, the more closer to the equator you are, and of course, you will be bound to be darker than someone from further north, such as a Kashmiri, Punjabi or even a Pashtun. Nevertheless, most Indians having the same mitochondrial base, also have similar genes in their y chromosomes, mixed in of course in varying degrees with invader ones, leading them to look more or less the same with variations. Now with regards to Hindu culture not existing outside of India. Actually, the modern version of this theory (which has archaeological and genetic proof)does not say in any way that Hinduism was brought to the subcontinent. It says that the nomads had a culture of their own that had several nature-based deities such as Indra and Varuna, and this religion mixed with the local Dravidian and tribal religions to form Hinduism. All the scriptures were written in the subcontinent, all the developments in the faith were made in India. The only foreign element are the Rig Vedic gods of Indra, Varuna, Agni, Mitra and others. And there is archaelogical proof showing these gods were worshipped outside of India, with no predating Indian contact. The Mitanni, an Indo-Aryan people who went west instead of going to the subcontinent, carried these deities with them to what is now Syria and Iraq. There is a treaty a Mitanni king made with the Hittites, that has been discovered that invokes these deities. Also, some of the verses in the Rig Veda (not the entire Rig Veda itself) are known to have come from the outside, as the Iranian Aryans used them in their Zoroastrian holy book, the Avesta. Also, discoveries in BMAC have also shed light on Indo-Aryan/Iranian practices being followed outside of both Iran and India. Nevertheless, what is now Hinduism is entirely rooted in India, most of its core concepts, such as Karma, reincarnation, yoga, and Dharma, as well as the main trinity, are rooted in the Dravidian civilization in the Indus Valley.

About Godhra Train Burning

Please read the older version of the article again. I think if you will think about the deleted text, you will agree that it included important details.

--Vikramsingh 03:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Copied from my talk page

"POinting us to pages that talk abt mathematics in India doesnt answer the point that none of these mathematicians did work that was specifically Hindu, which is the only way in which this cat can be kept as per policy. Nobody in this debate has answered that point. Unless someone does, this cat must be deleted. Hornplease 06:49, 13 September 2006 (UTC)"

They called the people "Hindu mathematicians". Good job not reading the source.Bakaman _Bakatalk 01:03, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Errr.. that the pages merely popped up as a result of a google search for the phrase doesnt mean that they support the arguments that were being raised, namely mathematicians doing work that was specifically Hindu. Could you think about that for a moment, please? Thanks. Hornplease 07:03, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Its merely mathematicians that are Hindu. Of course not reading the sources and asking questions where you will dispute any answer even if its verified or even (gasp!) correct doesnt make you look smart. Nobody cares for academic jargon, its about common sense. They're mathematicians, theyre Hindu, sources back it up. Done.Bakaman _Bakatalk 01:50, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Not done, I'm afraid, whatever your sadly overestimated 'common sense' might tell you. Nobody doubts that they were Hindu. However, I suggest you now recuse yourself from the discussion, since in spite of being told about thirty times, you still haven't understood that that is insufficient for the cat to exist, as per policy. Hornplease 13:26, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

User:Hornplease again, Sigh!

He has deleted the addition of a cited section in 2006 Malegaon blasts. I have argued that there is ample precedent on wikipedia for such additions (see my edit summaries). I undid my revert of his vandalism else there is the possibility that I might get framed for a fake 3RR violation by some users who may have curried favor with admins (I've seen such things done to wikipedians by certain other wikipedians). Please peruse the edit and offer a perspective.

Do have a look at my reply to similar allegations on the article's talk page: . I think its best if we leave all columnist reactions out of it, as ensuring balance will lead to undue bloating. We can concentrate on the reports for now. I think that's reasonable. Also, I have no intention of reporting anyone for 3RR if they simply discuss things on the talk page. I dont want the investigation section of a current news event to have an npov tag on it, and its best to try and avoid that by scrupulously keeping to reporting. I am sorry if I am being a bother.Hornplease 22:51, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I nominated this ridiculous nonsense article Neo-Brahmanism for speedy deletion

I cited reasons there. Can you offer a perspective (maybe on the talk page)?Also, could you put the article in your watchlist for developments (in cse you're interested, of course)? Thanks for your attention.Hkelkar 19:29, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Ayurveda

An anon Hesperophile messed up the article with a lot of nonsense and POV, confusing Ayurveda with homeopathy and adding irrelevant references demonizing a harmless and often effective practice. I have removed most edits that failed verification and tried to fix up the section somewhat. However, I could use another paid of eyes to look at it and check for unsourced or poorly sourced POV. Bear in mind that similar articles on Traditional medicines like Acupuncture or Reiki have no such bias and proper criticisms.Hkelkar 06:36, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello Baka:

In regards to your note, sorry for the late response - have been busy. Wanted to emphasize that I have no concerns regarding your contribution on Swami Ramdev's page. In fact, before my updates on copyright I wrote on your page to thank you for your efforts in trying to rewrite the page. Am not very familiar with Wiki - so am not sure if I posted incorrectly. Either way I definitely appreciate you contributions. Once again , Thanks Very Much for youe efforts.

Re:DYK

Hi - see Template:DYK and its talkpage. You should write a new article and propose an interesting fact from it on the template talkpage (it should be interesting in the eyes of others) - the new entries are listed there. Make sure that the article is of a proper size (not a stub, but no need to be too lengthy), layout and without grammatical and spelling errors. Clear references must be provided and no POV. All entries hang around for 5 days, during which admins that manage DYK will decide to put it up for display. Rama's arrow 20:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Rana Bhagwandas is an excellent entry (almost certain to be displayed). I suggest you provide as many references and external links as you can. The size and content is stubbish, so that needs to be expanded.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rama's Arrow (talk • contribs) .

Hello. I do not know much about your edits or about you. I just come to respond to your message: . By the way, we are an international virtual community, and there are many types of elements and clashes of ego.

Re:DYK

Hi Bakaman, thanks for your message on my page. The Rana Bhagwandass article has turned out very well and is a real good DYK.

As for myself, I usually skim through stubs of my interest (mostly history and geography of India) and try to get them in decent shape. Along the way, every topic throws up something really interesting.

Its great to see your efforts. All the best and let me know if I can help in anyway -- Lost 08:40, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

DYK candidates are only the newest articles, which must be nommed within 5 days of creation. Rama's arrow 02:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bakaman, I see you're on a roll now!! One more advice. While creating a new article, try to do it in a single day so that the nomination can go out the same day. It increases the chances of it getting into DYK. Plus you get more time to respond to objections during the nomination. If creating within one day is not possible, then create it in your sandbox first and then move it to the actual article. Will check out the Nanavati article as soon as I have time -- Lost 06:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree wiht you that the article is encyclopedic and the people that have worked on it are doing a really good job. Sometimes we just need to be careful with the way things are phrased so that they don't have unintended meaning.--Peta 01:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Nanavati commission

Hi Bakaman, regarding the above and Jagdish Tytler, I only know what was in the papers and on the net, but if I can help please give me a shout. Perhaps as a Sikh I should know more but I try and stick to reading only a minimum in connection with politics - you can never know who is telling the truth and who is lying. Further, it is a very ugly and depressing part of India's history for which all Indians are embarrassed and uncomfortable with the whole hideous sage. The whole affair should never have taken place and for a nation with such amazing moralistic leaders it brought a terribly low point in its history and all the Mahatma Gandhis, the bhagats, and saints must be "turning in their graves" --Hari Singh 18:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

See my comment on Blng's talk page. And first of all I dont understand what hinduvavadi or whatever means. I dont know which language that is and I am certainly nothing that I dont even understand.

So unless you are bluffing and crying wolf like Mahawiki always does, post the relevant links to the relevant diffs. Sarvagnya 22:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

hmm.. well now i know what hinduvavadi(did i get that right?) means... looks like it is somebody's personal definition of hinduness. Well I have my own definition for 'hinduness' and it works fine for me. I dont believe in wearing my 'hindu' identity on my sleeve as I see no point in doing that. As for hindi, arent you the guys who make movies in urdu and pass it off as hindi movies? arent you the guys who make movies which is financed by terrorists and acted in by murderers? arent you the guys who support the terrorists and murderers by promoting such movies in the name of hindi? hmmm... questions questions..

what makes you think i am acting incivil? is there anything in my prev reply(above) that is factually untrue? Please point out. as for tipu, you're helping coz, in all fairness you ought to anyway. That you have your own agenda, seems to be the real reason though. If you are so bent on supporting me, support me against Mahawiki.

Mahawiki has been bluffing all over wikipedia that I(and DK) are 'kannadi vandalising' or 'kannadising'(whatever that means) various articles. I am sure you would have seen him claiming that in many places.

So do me a favour, go through all those articles he is mentioning and point out even one single inappropriate edit by me. If you cant point out anything, stop supporting him blindly and spoiling the atmosphere on Misplaced Pages. I dont even remember how you entered the pic in (in me vs mahawiki) and why you are supporting him.

being a hindutvavadi(did i get it right?) you might be interested in a glorious 'hindu rashtra'. I have also heard that people from your school of thought wish to have an akhanDa bharata or something. if that is the case, why are you driving a wedge between kannadigas and marathis for no reason. if you keep doing this maybe by the time you guys annexe all the lost territories(like pak, afghanistan) etc., you might have ended up breaking up into pieces the hindu rashtra as it stands today.

Yes i saw that. You and Hkelkar did a good job on poverty in Pakistan. I may not be too helpful to you, but will try to remove blatant Anti-Hindu edits on some articles of wiki.nids(♂) 23:19, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Tipu Hero

Good morning. Have a nice day. --Bhadani 23:26, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your immediate response and maturity shown. I shall not withdraw my good morning, but add a good evening. This (Good morning/Good evening) reminds me of wikipedia (in a lighter vein) - adding and deleting, and doing a Merry-go-round. --Bhadani 00:23, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

tip

Hey Baka - you did great with the DYK. A tip - always use an edit summary after making an edit. A practice considered as courtesy by other editors, it also helps distinguish from possible vandalism. Cheers, and do write many other DYKs! Rama's arrow 23:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Jayadratha

Hi, Baka I made a comment in the Jayadratha article: It is interesting to note that this is the only incident in scriptures in which Lord Shiva did not grant the devotee his wishes; it was impossible to defeat the Pandavas as they were protected by Shri Krishna. what do you think?

Indian Nationalism

You have reverted my demands for citations on the above page with an edit summary saying that it is 'racist'. This is a violation of WP:NPA as well as being almost extraordinarily absurd even by your standards of editing. Please do not revert again without a reasoned discussion on the article talk page. Also, please explain why indicating that Gautier is 'interested' in Indian culture and 'sympathetic' to Hindutva is OR when that a cursory reading of the attached samples of his work backs the statement up. Baka, this is your third mmonth on this encyclopaedia, and you are yet to improve in terms of editing and confrontationalism. You are no longer a newbie, and I will no longer treat you as one. Please pull your socks up. Hornplease 01:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Wake up call!!

Hey Bakaman, whats happening?? The Nanavati article is already 3 days old and still not at DYK??? How are you going to catch up with Rama's arrow and Blnguyen at this rate? Take it to DYK today!!

On the second issue, I need to actually go thru the statements before I can comment so give me some time for it. -- Lost 03:28, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
