He who has made this page, could you please have a look at the map of India? The map is not as per [http://india.gov.in/maps/indiaindex.php Govt. of India's India map], see the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Thanks

Map
Well Sourav, I think the map is alright. It shows the boundary of India properly. Additionally it has just shown PoK And Aksai Chin areas, as not under the direct control of India.Shovon 12:43, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Famous Personalities of Silchar
Hi all, I've started a new section in this Article : Silchar about famous personalities associated with the city as articles concerning other cities in India religiously have this section. So i would like to request to other contributors in this article to kindly add more personalities if they have any in their knowledge. And please maintain credibility and good reference.

 * Please start a new thread in the bottom half only. Normally, the article for a city does not list all the notable persons within the article itself. You can, however, create a list of people from < > article and include the link in the "See also" section in the bottom half of the article. e.g. you can refer to the Kolkata and List of people from Kolkata articles. You can also refer to WP:N for the notability criteria. Thanks. Shovon (talk) 13:24, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Silchar, Residents
I do not agree with lines "Approximately 90% residents of Silchar are Sylhetis, the rest being Marwaris, Bishnupriya Manipuris, Manipuri-Meiteis and some tribal groups like Nagas. The Sylhetis settled here after migrating from Sylhet, a district of undivided India, after partition of India in 1947." These means that before 1947 Silchar was resident of other communities but Sylhetis. This is a wrong information, provided here. "A Statistical Account of Assam" Volume 2 by W.W.Hunter, published in 1879 by "Trubner and Co., London 1879" describes in page number 377 and 381 that Bengali's are main inhabitant of Cachar and Manipuri's are second large inhabitant. Sylhetis are Bengali. So Silchar town in Cachar district is mainly inhabited by Bengalis (Sylhetis) from very ancient time.

I have read the whole information given there in the page, every thing is correctly stated there like silchar is the main economic gateway to the state of Assam, it plays a major role in an economic condition to the state of Mizoram and some part of Manipur. But nobody has discussed a little bit about the cacharies(dimasa) and the king Govindra chandra, The king Govindra chandra used to rule the cachar district and khas pur was the capital of his state, and as a proof there are still some ruined monuments exists there in khas pur thaligram. It's said that dimasa's were the main cacharies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.56.191.234 (talk) 19:35, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
