Mythology?
Mythological stories are sold as historical deeds in the history chapter! What is this to be? Hindu-belief is one thing, but here you should stick to facts not fiction.--84.179.86.240 06:56, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I strongly feel that some kind of archeological research should be taken privately in kurukshetra place rather than depending on Govt. of India as they always doesn't show interest in hinduism related ancient facts.

That is the result why people are using a word called mythology. I hope that would not used soon with the efforts of Wikipedia and international organizations.

Vast majority of the ethnic Hindu population?
I removed this statement because it doesn't make any sense. I have no idea what idea it was trying to convey. If someone does know, then I suggest a rewrite to clarify. Acsenray 14:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Today, Haryana has the vast majority of the ethnic Hindu population.


 * It means that when the original Punjab split into two, Haryana retained the majority (65% ish I think) of the Hindu population. It needs clarification though. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 14:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Template for Collaboration
Great to see my home state as COTW! The template from Wikiproject Indian States should be helpful in expanding the articles. I will see if I can find some photographs in my collection. --Longhairandabeard 08:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Punjabi
Is Punjabi the second official language of Haryana like it is in Delhi? I'm not so sure and I cannot find information on this online. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 10:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yup it is, since 2004.. Found it in good ol' Tribune. --Longhairandabeard 15:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Pics
Found one that may be useful:

This is the second medical college of Haryana, although it is not recognized yet by the Medical Council of India.
 * Is this really the flag of Haryana as claimed in the picture's description? --Longhairandabeard 08:48, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I would seriously doubt that. --Soman 10:07, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Found some more.. --Longhairandabeard 04:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Map
Hey! The map does not indicate the location of Haryana. It is a blank map to be edited as to indicate the locations of the respective states. (I don't know how to do that work properly, unfortunately.) Cheers, Krankman 06:58, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I have replaced the old map. The Wikiproject Indian Maps is working on creating locator maps for all states. Once they create one for Haryana, it can be replaced here. -- Longhairandabeard 15:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hindu Population Incorrect
According to the official census of India (http://www.censusindia.net/religiondata/), the Hindu proportion of Haryana is 88% Hindu, 5.8% Muslim, and 5.5% Sikh. This is from an actual source. I would like to see if others agree before I make the change. I think for all Indian articles, when reporting religious demographics, we should use the Census of India rather than unofficial  sources. -amitroy5

Fair use rationale for Image:HaryanaSeal.jpg
Image:HaryanaSeal.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Vandalism
There has been vandalism in the history section in Haryana. The Indus valley civilization period and the ancient period has been erased. Dewan S. Ahsan 12:31, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Films in the "Demographics" section??
Out of the blue, in the middle of the "Demographics" section, this discussion about a couple of Haryanvi movies. It's totally out of place and it's also got an inappropriate tone for an encyclopedia, and it doesn't cite any sources. --Hnsampat (talk) 15:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Too many images
There are too many images in the article and the structure of the article goes improper. There comes huge gap between paragraphs and also most of the images added are of Gurgoan, If some one has images from other parts, please contribute but please add them in a proper way so that structure does not get disturbed also I have seen some of the editors reverting edits when i removed some of non-useful images claiming as Vandalism, understand that it is not Vandalism, There are uneccessary images disturbing the structure and needs to removed, there is no space on the article. --Shekhartagra (talk) 17:18, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello, you removed images saying it disturbed structure of article BUT thats the case of your computer screen and screen resolution ! On my and other editors computer screen it looks nice, so I reverted your edits as it seem unconstructive !

It has been tried on standard resolution on 800 X 600 and 1024 X 768 and 1152 X 864, it is still the same and yeah there is a huge gap between paragraphs, check this and only then add the images again and adding too many images dont make any sense, it is not an image gallery, stop putting irrelevant info by using 'Jat' in image, it is totally irrelevant .--Shekhartagra (talk) 10:25, 5 May 2010 (UTC) Now,

regarding your removal of (Jats) word from the discription of my newly added pic in agriculture section. The original name of image is "Green farms of Jats in haryana" and in discription also it mentions it as jat farmhouse, so your removal of word (Jats) from that image discription is a clear pov and is now reverted.thanks-- Last Emperor (talk) 19:25, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

How do you know they are farms of Jats..What are you putting here ? Casteism!!! and stop doing that, Wikipedia is not the property of some cast or something whre yu upload the image and name it 'Farms of Jats' and then put into the article and yeah I can see reason for putting word 'Jat' because I can see on your page that you are a Jat !!!!

Use Wikipedia for spreading free knowledge not FALSE knowledge and casteism!!

--Shekhartagra (talk) 10:17, 5 May 2010 (UTC)


 * O hello, have a look at image description before putting your statement here. In discription that pic shows metadata and I think it is well known that copied images dont show metadata...so that proves image is real and captured by my camera ! Funny to say Im using castesim... Can u explain how ? This pic is a view from my farmhouse (here we call it dhani) and as you know Im a Jat than what is castesism in calling "farms of Jats" as Jats farms in wikipedia ? (In this way you cant call homosapiens, humans and Indians-Indians on wiki...and if you do...will that be called castesism ?) For more info. this pic is taken at our farms near Ding road, 17 km from fatehabad and 30 km from Sirsa and 4 km from punjab border. You can conferm that in Google earth if you want.

Well if you still think I falsly uploaded that image than you can try indulging any admin into this matter, im fine with that as I know I did nothing wrong anywhere. Thanks-- Last Emperor (talk) 12:01, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Does Google earth registers land also???? Is google earth a registry software?? Is it gonna show these farms belomg to Jats? and if they belong to Jats or any community, there is no point and its totaly irrelevant to put there that these are farms of Jats ...You dont get this point until I put some Wikipedia guidline policy tag over there and get it deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shekhartagra (talk • contribs) 07:49, 7 May 2010 (UTC) --Shekhartagra (talk) 07:50, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

(moved out of discussion above since it is from a different user and not directly related.) Interesting is that most of the images are from Gurgaon where it is the sixth largest city in Haryana. The Galaxy hotel is shown as a shopping mall. I stayed there on my trip, it is not a mall though there is some shopping, that is there are some stores in there but basically it is a five star hotel. http://www.galaxyhotel.in/

Reference to the Shaw Commission
Is there support for the statement “The Indian government set up the Shah Commission under the chairmanship of Justice JC Shah on 23 April 1966 to divide the existing state of Punjab and determine the boundaries of the new state of Haryana after consideration of the languages spoken by the people”? It appears to be inconsistent with other articles on wikipedia. JC Shaw was not a chief justice until after 1966. A commission that he led in 1976 is referred to as the Shaw Commission. 99.246.13.167 (talk) 21:09, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Official language of Haryana state is Hindi and Haryanvi language
Haryanvi language is also a official language of Haryana state in India Poon Singh ka (talk) 18:20, 14 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Because Haryanvi language is widely spoken in Haryana state of India Poon Singh ka (talk) 18:23, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Being "widely spoken" does not make it an official language - you need to quote reliable sources that state it is "official" - Arjayay (talk) 19:11, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Sir you should add Official as Hindi and English as they were the first one and widely used. Additional official in Punjabias spoken by around 8% of population in haryana and was added later.
 * Also write in Spoken Haryanvi as this may help travellers
 * This is not compulsory but if you wish you can add regional languages: deshwali, bangaru, bagri, hariani, ahirwati, braj bhasha, puadhi, mewati Bugod (talk) 08:07, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
