Travancore as British India
Is it a right usage, Travancore was more or less, an independent state which accepted British Hegemony, but can we use British India?? and hardly in other pages, of people born before 1947, british india is used?

if I am wrong, ready to correct and undo edit, pls contribute (Alex.mathews (talk) 05:05, 30 January 2013 (UTC))


 * Travancore was not part of British India. British India comprised of those regions which were ruled by the British Indian government (or their provincial counterparts) directly, like the Madras Presidency. The entity that Travancore was part of is called the Indian Empire, or the British Indian Empire, which consisted of British India and princely states like Travancore. --Joshua Issac (talk) 20:43, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Relocated Question
In the article itself, in section Kochi Metro Rail Project, User talk:165.241.31.254 asked "Could you please update the status as on date ??". After reverting the article, I'm putting it here. Metadox (talk) 06:00, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Copy/paste of 2013 Kerala solar panel scam
Accusations against Chandy's office were made in 2013. However, the article you just pasted into this bio reads like a news article written in 2013: is the opposition still trying to stall parliament? What was the long term effect on Chandy's career? Was Chandy ever charged with anything, or accused of anything in court? Were there any statements of innocence?

Please summarize the solar scam incident, weighting it according to the rest of the bio. We shouldn't have 2 identical articles in Wikipedia, which makes them harder to maintain and keep in sync, as well as harder to read.

Disputed neutrality in the section "Achievements during second term"
The whole section seems to be like an advertisement of Oomen Chandy government. Important issues like the then Finance Minister's resignation due to corruption charges is entirely side-stepped. Solar scam is completely removed. The controversy of Salim Rajan, the Chief Minister's bodyguard who was involved in a land grabbing case is not mentioned.

The statement "his 100 days programmes announced propelled the state fast forward." is given without attribution. Another sentence "They were impressed by the innovative approach to ensure transparency and accountability in Governance, particularly the to web-stream the entire functioning of CM’s office, which was turned off during supposed illegal activities. " is given without attribution. I would suggest that a section "criticism of Oomen Chandy" be added to balance the article. Vyttilavarkey (talk) 09:48, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

The article is well sourced and has a lot of inline citations too. Its high time that the tag of "need more information to validate and for verification needs to be removed. (182.69.64.52 (talk) 14:18, 21 August 2023 (UTC))
