The reference you gave given for a brokpa says different than your actual content
The reference says these " Brokpa, Drokpa, Dard and Shin is a group of tribes that speak the Dardic languages. It is said that the Dardic tribes are the bearers of the proto-Rigvedic language and culture; they seem to retain many of the symbols and rituals of that ancient past. Because of these ancient connections, which they have kept alive in the present, some of their villages in Ladakh have become centres of tourist attraction. In Jammu and Kashmir, these tribes are concentrated mainly in Kargil and Baramula districts. Of 51,957 persons of these tribes counted in 2001, 26,066 were in Baramula and 23,418 in Kargil. Another 1,002 Brokpas were in Leh and 1,199 in Srinagar"

The Indian government had added multiple ethic group like brokpa, shin and Dards into a one  schedule tribe group. And it says that it is concentrated mainly around kargil (23,418) and baramulla (26,066) And small population in leh and Srinagar.

The resident of baramulla and kargil are shina  people  which has a sperate page , And the brokpa or minaro of dha hanu has only 3000 population.

If these page is about a brokpa schedule tribe then , And please delete the ethinic group and write the places of baramulla and Kashmir and also delete the picture which shows a ethic group of Brokpa (3000) population , The brokpa is a small ethic group and you are confusing people between brokpa ethinic group and brokpa, dard, shin schedule tribe as per government.

You can search various articles on internet , You would find the brokpa  ethinic population  is not more than 3000 Minaro123 (talk) 17:29, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Brokpa, Drokpa, Dard and Shin is a Schedule Tribes in India while brokpa is one of the ethinic group of these tribe
Brokpa, Drokpa, Dard and Shin is a group of tribes which comes under a one Schedule Tribes in India which are predominantly found in baramullah and minority in leh and kargil. While Brokpa] ethinic group is a  one of  the tribe in [[Brokpa, Drokpa, Dard and Shin ethnic group . The brokpa  ethinic group population  as per 1981 cencus  is only 3000. While Brokpa, Drokpa, Dard and Shin tribes  has a population of 40,000 . Brokpa, Drokpa, Dard and Shin is formed by grouping of many small ethinic group under Schedule Tribes. So there need to be a two articles, You can add the population of 40000s in Brokpa, Drokpa, Dard and Shin And 3000 in Brokpa as per 1981. The reference for 1981 cencus were in my Brokpa version . Please maintain these two page and please Minaro123 (talk) 18:13, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Brother, the population of Brokpa is incorrect
As you have stated that brokpa are found around dha, Ladakh ,hanoo ,Garkon ,Darchik which  has hardly 3000 population. And it was written even in a book that i gave added as a reference that in Indian cencus have added sub ethinic group like shin and Dards in brokpa which shows that brokpa has 40 thousand population, However the population of Brokpa is only 3000 According to 1981 .. Why are you reverting back my hardwork to show the truth inspite of adding reference to prove the claim. I have added multiple topic in Brokpa section but no body replied since few months so how could I have a discussion before changing. Please check my earlier edit and please revert back to my edit Minaro123 (talk) 17:15, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * , I can probably fix the population issue. But you need to promise me that you will not edit the page again. Whatever changes you want, you can request on the talk page, saying "change X to Y" and provide the sources supporting the change. And, give enough time for people to understand the issue and respond. You have made too many edits there, most of which have been reverted. You are not experienced enough to deal with this topic satisfactorily. So, just stick to the talk page and let us see if it works.
 * And, please do not post on my talk page. All discusssion concerning the article should go on the article's talk page. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:17, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Yangtse faceoff
Have you been keeping up with it? The Telegraph recently published an exposé on it, that I wish Wikipedia could cover somewhere. Given the coverage, do you reckon it has snowballed enough to merit a Wikipedia article? MBlaze Lightning (talk) 16:17, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it has apparently to do with the Chumi Gyatse Falls. On the one hand, it is more of the same, but there are also views saying "this time is different" . My own views on Twitter. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:17, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * True, there is both history and context to this: history, as you advert to in your tweets, and context being the recent and still ongoing military standoff between the two militaries. And while clashes have been somewhat a frequent affair in Yangtze, what seems to differentiate the latest iteration from the earlier instances is the underlying animus which informed the Chinese action this time: a concerted nigh battalion size bid to overrun a vantage Indian outpost manned by a platoon-size force, sensing and thereupon essaying to capitalize on the window of opportunity to reconfigure the boundary in the area to make it less disadvantageous. This was in contrast to earlier such ephemeral occurences that were often a consequence of patrols bumping into each other. Where they seem to have erred in their calculus is in underestimating that the Indian deployment in contiguous depth area could reinforce their position with the required alacrity; and also the tenacity with which the Indians would clung on to thier convenient position. I think a Wikipedia article on it wouldn't run afoul of NOTNEWS; however, I also think that much of the instructive context is missing here, and much of this could still go in an article on Yangtze, if we had one! MBlaze Lightning (talk) 12:05, 17 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, an article on the recent clash would certainly be welcome. Please get started. Perhaps call it "2022 Yangtse clash". Please make sure to spell it with "s" instead of "z". The latter is a Chinese spelling. We prefer local languages if at all possible. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:37, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * According to one theory, this peak was their objective! It dominates the entire area that the Indian military calls the "Yangtse plateau". -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:14, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Here is a map for you. I have marked several peaks that could have been potential targets, but only the rightmost peak is above 17,000 ft. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:01, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sounds good. The map helps, for the clash does seem to have taken place at some 5200m peak in the vicinity of the Chumi Gyatse Falls landmark. Will commence work (re the article) when time permits today, and move it to mainspace in a day or two. MBlaze Lightning (talk) 09:30, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The OSINTers believe the clash was at the pass marked as Thang La on Google Maps. It is directly in line between the Tangwu village and the peak that I called the "objective". -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:46, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

 * I am sorry, but my Sanskrit is a bit rusty.
 * If you are asking me about the "regent" issue at Mirza Haidar Dughlat, a regent is some one who rules on behalf of a monarch, either because the monarch is a minor child or incapacitated in some way. It looks like Haidar should be tagged as an "officeholder", not a "prince". He was never a ruler nor meant to be one. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:59, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

First of all nice to meet you, Well Infobox types are option or choice it Doesn't saw any Regencies boxes if anyone can edits then it will changing but still it’s your way of thinking and Mirza Muhammad Haider Dughlat he belonging to the Dughlat which is Borjigid Dynasty sub-branches but after Genghisids claim only succession in laws they put down in Noble ranks as Barlas Dynasty but still there equally Borjigid bloodline they can claim ancestrical kingships and succeeded but it’s not possible in Direct descent lineages.

I noticed that a message you recently left to Minaro123 may have been unduly harsh. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see others making a common mistake, consider politely pointing out what they did wrong and showing them how to correct it. It takes more time, but it helps us retain new editors. Thank you.

You also appear to be not only dismissive but mistaken in much of what you tell him. I suggest in particular that you review the meaning of OR, since you seem to use the term a lot, while yourself engaging in the practice Elinruby (talk) 21:52, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Please stop edit warring
I note that within an hour of your AfD nomination being closed as "keep" you made massive changes to the article you described as "infested" to bring it into line with your contention that Aryan valley is not "really" a place, without reference to the extensive discussions on the talk page, and without deigning to open a discussion on the talk page yourself.

In particular I note the following problems: I am still researching the restrictions on these DS pages, but your attempt to own the one and introduce massive changes and errors of fact into the other would seem to violate their intent at a minimum. I urge you to step away from the subject, which you cannot seem to edit objectively, or at a minimum take a deep breath and consider your behaviour. You are complaining on a lack of discussion on the talk page, when discussion exists, and when you yourself have not bothered to discuss, presumably because you are convinced of the correctness of your thinking. Elinruby (talk) 14:06, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You do not appear to understand the meaning of "neologism".
 * You do not appear to have actually read the article, and are still out to refute the Aryan invasion theory, which is not a part of the article
 * You misleadingly said in the AFD that there was no clear location for Aryan Valley, whereas it was in the article in several places and sourced.
 * You have repeatedly bitten a brand new editor,
 * You are insisting on using a generic name, Brokpa, which is thought to be derogatory, and which you yourself in your article on Bropka say refers to multiple groups.
 * Your "sources" for neologism do not contain the word neologism, as explained in my edit removing the error.
 * Given that your modus operandi with this new editor has been to cite unexplained acronyms, it isn't clear to me that you should be patrolling new pages.
 * In particular you misused the term OR on Bropka, when you reverted statements sourced to Al-Jazeera, which is emphatically not OR.
 * You deleted a mention of a historic term for the head of the valley with the rationale that it did not contain the term "Aryan valley", despite the fact that the name change is recent and the source predates it.
 * , you have provided no evidence that I "edit warred". If you have evidence, I suggest you take it to WP:AN3 and stop threatening me on my talk page.
 * I don't particularly care for your long list of complaints with absolutely no evidence or diffs. I am beginning to see your conduct as bullying. Please stop it. All content-related discussion belongs on the article talk page, not here.
 * I should remind you that I have asked you twice yesterday (22:45, 1 January 2023, 23:59, 1 January 2023)
 * "Do you disagree that it is a neologism? If so, please explain why.".
 * Pinged you both the times. You have completely ignored the question, and went ahead to remove the term from the article (12:08, 2 January 2023). "You do not appear to understand the meaning of "neologism"" is wooly nonsense. Did you even bother to look up a dictionary what the term means? The Oxford English Dictionary gives the meaning:
 * A word or phrase which is new to the language; one which is newly coined.
 * which is exactly the case here. Citations have been provided demonstrating that the term got coined after 2010, for a location that has been around for probably a thousand years. You need to engage on the talk page in good faith and work towards a WP:CONSENSUS. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:36, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

1) show me where it includes a government renaming a location 2) most definitions do not include "phrase".

Nor do your citations use the word, which you were telling was a requirement. You do realize that the rules apply to you as well, don't you? I am trying to avoid having to ask for a topic ban. Do you dispute any of these points? I assure you, I will provide the diffs if I have to make this official. And I scoff at your contention that I am the bully in this story. What would really help me us an explanation of why you are going to such extraordinary lengths to silence a new editor. Why do you think that is needed? I will, in the spirit of collaboration overlook your description of my writing as "infested", since I am fairly certain that you didn't read it.Elinruby (talk)
 * Please go ahead and make the request for TBan. For someone whose greatest works include Cinema of Africa, you posture a lot. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Snort. Is that supposed to be an insult? Let's not even mention that it is also wrong; that's a given for you, isn't it? But supposing it were true... What is your issue with Cinema of Africa as a topic area? I ask out of curiosity, as you are surely aware that it isn't required to ask your permission to exist. Or are you? You certainly seem to think this of the Minaro.Elinruby (talk) 17:05, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Why will I have an issue with the topic area? I wrote Cinema of Turkmenistan among others. My only issue is with your incompetent (and inaccurate) writing of such an intriguing topic. And, then featuring it in your u/p as .... Well, we are digressing; feel free to have the last word. TrangaBellam (talk) 18:13, 2 January 2023 (UTC)


 * really. Apparently you are looking at the article. What part of it do you think I wrote?  You make me laugh. Try again. If that was supposed to be an insult, it was ridiculous.  My last word is: You know nothing, Jon Snow. Elinruby (talk) 00:50, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Gulab Singh: Raja of Jammu
Dear Kautilya3, Thank you for leaving message on my profile. I am grateful that you are actively watching the historical pages and confirming it with the quoted sources. As you have rightly noted about the changes I made in the article about Maharaja Gulab Singh. There was a deliberate mistake being made by some people regarding the tribe of one of the rebel leaders i.e. Shams Khan. I, being a student of history, researched this and after viewing neutral and verified sources concluded that Shams Khan indeed belonged to the Sudhan tribe and he was headman of the Sudhan tribe. The sources you see now at the article were placed there by me. However, some sources have been removed by some editor. As I am unaware in how to add the source as per the criteria of the Wikipedia, I am sharing the sources with your good self for your perusal and verification.

Hounding Minaro123
1 - Since you were involved. TrangaBellam (talk) 04:30, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

I mentioned you at ANI
The context was a complaint by someone else about Trangabellam. The content was your actions at the AfD for Aryan Valley, and those of you and TB at the AfD for Dah Hanu, as a parallel to what the other editor was alleging. I am required to notify you even though you are peripheral to *that* complaint, and am hereby doing so. Elinruby (talk) 19:23, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Need a help to tell my contribution on Brokpa page and it's related region
Dear kautilya3, Have a look at these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement, It would be kind if you could tell the contribution made by me on Brokpa page , Some role are: The population was wrong, However i initiated the discussion and corrected the Brokpa population. And second thing I added the Dah hanu  region of being independent  cited by Rohit vohra first and how i helped to help Aryan valley from deleting. And my contribution on Dah page etc. Thank you Minaro123 (talk) 20:30, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, I am sorry that I can't help much because I too feel the same way as TrangaBellam and Joshua Jonathan. We have had to spend way too much time in trying to settle issues with you. After you fought tooth and nail for the Aryan Valley page to be retained, and after TB and JJ have spent significant amounts of time in bringing that page into a reasonable shape, now you are saying that it should be deleted and made into a redirect! How can a page dealing with a larger region (4 villages) be covered in a page dealing with a smaller region (2 villages)? You have made a complete about-turn from all the positions you have taken previoiusly! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:05, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear Kautilya3:

After i read more book ,I got to know that dha hanu region is used by various book and sources. And second thing: There should have a two page one is : Dah hanu region and another is Dha hanu village , The Dha hanu village is a twin village in Ladakh that is Dha and hanu and later one is a region associated with it as mentioned by many sources. It up to you whether you would like to help me or not. Anyway thanks for replying. Minaro123 (talk) 21:09, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Regarding "History Of Azad Kashmir" Page
Hello, Thanks for comment on my edit, I just had few questions in my mind. You said that wikipedia edit needs to be neutral, but then why is there a wikipedia page named "History of Azad Kashmir" in the first place. Is it a neutral stand to call it by the name only recognised by Pakistan ? Why there no mention of the name "Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), as mentioned to as by India ? How can you be sure it is the history of Azad Kashmir and not POK ? And POINT BE NOTED is that there is no page by the name of " PAKISTAN OCCUPIED KASHMIR" in Wikipedia.

Thank You SatyaAmarRahe (talk) 13:54, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Please avoid misleading edit summaries
is not a "correction". Possibly the text you added is correct (haven't yet tried to verify) but it also removed a cn tag without providing a reference Elinruby (talk) 20:19, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear that you haven't tried to verify it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:22, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Clearly you haven't read WP:BURDEN yet if you think that you are scoring some sort of point with that remark. Here, right now, I am only taking issue with the misleading edit summary. I haven't said that I won't try to verify, since we are here, and I have tagged some work for myself. However I am doing this on a mobile and between other tasks at the moment so I am not currently available to check sources. *You* just need to concentrate on avoiding misleading edit summaries without casting unwarranted aspersions. Elinruby (talk) 21:09, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * What does 'center point of a river' mean? An image pops-up in my mind of a river situated in the middle of a river... And maybe you can explain why you think that this edit-summary is misleading, instead of patronalizing Kautilya3. Joshua Jonathan  - Let's talk!  06:35, 3 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't know, what does it mean? Click the history icon, then ask the person who wrote it, yawn. Are you seriously asking me what's misleading about that summary? Please read my original post, which explains this. I mean, I'm trying hard to take that question seriously, honest, but you make it hard for a good-faith editor to do that. Oh, and I don't watch this page, and don't want to, so  if it isn't too patronizing, I'd like to suggest you ping me the next time you ask me a question. Meanwhile, you're picking a fight that doesn't need to be picked, on very shaky grounds. If Kautilya3 wants to address my tagging, they are welcome to do so. Or not.  Elinruby (talk) 09:12, 4 February 2023 (UTC)


 * yes, I am asking what's misleading about that edit-summary, and no, your original post does not explain this, nor does your repsonse. So, why do you think that "correction" is not the right description of the correction that Kautilya3 made? Joshua Jonathan  - Let's talk!  10:59, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to find from the history icon, who wrote what. I had to do a search.

But it is not the verbal gimmicry that was wrong about the sentence, rather the substance. Kargil is not at the "centre" of the Suru Valley. It is at its tail end. And its importance is not due to dominating the Suru Valley, which it never did. Rather it is due to its central position in the trade route. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:03, 4 February 2023 (UTC)


 * mmm mmm mmm I don't think I am able to explain Possibly the text you added is correct (haven't yet tried to verify) but it also removed a cn tag without providing a reference any more clearly without diagramming the sentence for you. Deep breath. Let's try this: removing unclear text and replacing it with a different statement is not a "correction" whether or not the new text is correct. More to the point, as I have already said several times, the real issue, which was resolved hours before this pointless bit of sophistry began, is that you don't remove maintenance tags without addressing them. Over and out. Elinruby (talk) 11:22, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Saraz: question, if you know
Is there really.a place called Bhangra in Saraz? The list of localities is duplicated within the article, except that Bhangra is only on one list. Google only knows about the performance arts meanings. And of course both lists are completely uncited.

If you don't know, no worries; I realize this is a random question. I am going to make the call for now that in this case it would be better to be wrong by omission than to perpetuate a joke, if that is what this is.

Forced and so on
Its strange how you insist to include "forced" onto the Khanat of Kalat article but when annexation question comes to the Hyderabad state you wish to remove it as you know very well the annexation of Hyderabad was a military operation and led to the death of many thousands which involves the use of force the Taylor reference even mentions the Nizam being forced on page 9 through military intervention I am not sure why you insist on ignoring what quite clearly was a forced annexation even the biased Taylor source states it.

 * Furthermore the previous editors regents park also had no issue with the statement and thus status quo and consensus are just red herrings you just do not like the word "forced" being used however when it comes to Khanat of Kala you are quick to add it I suggest you drop the subcontinental grudges and help Wikipedia in becoming a reliable source not one which favours a Indian narrative.DavosBarton (talk) 21:17, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

DavosBarton (talk) 21:27, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not the place to publish your or anybody else's personal views. It is supposed to summarise reliable sources with due WP:WEIGHT. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:45, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I am glad you pointed that out so the views of Sherman Taylor must be summarised and not cherry picked to suit a certain point of view in regards to WP:WEIGHT which i just read equal weight should be given to all statements of a source not just the ones you may prefer over another. DavosBarton (talk) 21:48, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * On another note seems like you still have not provided a "better source" on the Khanate of Kalat article Rita and Kumar Bose based in Delhi....clearly biased and will push a very skewed view its like adding Pakistani sources to the Hyderabad article which maybe is a good idea? Ok quote from the source you found "Seven months later, on 27 March 1948, Kalat acceded to Pakistan. Whether it was a willing accession or a coerced one is a disputed matter, with pro-state historians arguing that the Khan willingly made the decision to accede, and nationalist scholars maintaining that Balochistan was annexed" Seems like the source you added itself is not entirely supportive of annexation maybe this should be clarified?

Sources referring to Indias military invasion as annexation
I am not very good at adding books as references so here is a list of a few books which indeed refer to Indias invasion as a Annexation I have posted some others in the talk page chat just so you know I understand that people use Wikipedia as a battle ground and abuse its open source structure to push biased and cherry picked opinions based on their nationalist tendencies but we must not allow ourself to ignore facts and reliable sources just because it goes against our view of events it was clearly a forced annexation and I have not used Pakistani sources (like you used Indian sources) to prove a point we must learn to use wikipedia to better the worlds knowledge and not to mislead and blind them to the truth you are better than this do better.

To quote from our article:

As far as I know, no serious Timurid historian considers Malfuzat-i Timurī as a historically reliable work and this appalably roughshod approach with sources exemplify what is wrong with Wink's broadbrush histories. Even Irfan Habib — who, as is the norm, argues for a less radical approach (c.f. his review on Manan Asif's reading of Chachnama) — concedes that the manuscripts need to be subject to careful scrutiny.

Azad Kashmir
How is "Azad" (Free) Kashmir a neutral term? It is a political and divisive term used by radicals who want to remove all Hindus from Kashmir and make it part of an Islamic state.

Just because the Islamic Republic of Pakistan calls it Azad, it is not free in reality. There was no plebiscite held there and it was occupied by Pashtun Tribesmen supported by the Pakistani military after eliminating most of the native Kashmiris (especially Sikhs & Hindus)

If wikipedia wants to be neutral, you should call it "Pakistan Administered Kashmir". This reflects the reality without intending the hatred and divisiveness carried in the word Azad (free of minority Hindus & Sikhs) Sumukhs2013 (talk) 09:00, 23 February 2023 (UTC)


 * The "Pakisa Adminitered Kashmir" is divided into two (de facto) provinces: "Azad Kashmir" and "Gilgit-Baltistan". These are their official names of those units as well as names used by the majority of WP:THIRDPARTY reliable sources. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:07, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Biased Topic headings
I was wondering what the justification for reverting the recent edit FROM "Controversies" which is neutral TO the decidedly non-neutral "Attacks on academic freedom" on the Hindu American Foundation Wiki page. Clearly, the organization (for whom the page was created) do not view their efforts as "attacking" academic freedom and a more balanced and nuanced appraisal would seem more aligned with Wiki's attempt at neutrality. 2A0D:6FC2:45B0:F200:B4D2:AC86:D7C2:686D (talk) 18:10, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Section titles like "Controversies" are not welcomed on Wikipedia (even though I admit that many low-traffic pages have them.) See WP:CRIT.
 * What the "organisation" thinks about any of this entirely irrelevant because Wikipedia is written based on WP:THIRDPARTY reliable sources. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:08, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * clearly my point is not what the organization thinks, it is that "attacks" in a section heading represents a very clear POV while supporters of the organization have a strong counter point of view also supported by third party reliable sources and that Wiki headings should aim for neutrality and that the items under the heading should either be under the existing Activism heading (which is neutral) or the first two items can be under a Litigation heading which is also neutral and doesn't express a particular ideological viewpoint 2A0D:6FC2:45B0:F200:B4D2:AC86:D7C2:686D (talk) 13:12, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Can you review these articles
I appreciate your interest in Indian history and your positive input about the article on the Turquoise throne. In your free time can you review these articles created and edited by me?

What to do?
Someone with a bunch of IP (1st, 2, 3) has cropped up out of the woodworks with a bone to pick with me. Multiple instances of incompetent editing on several pages with the specific purpose of ‘righting the wrongs’ they claim are being done by me (e.g. see the edit histories of this and this; here they add a bunch of stuff blatantly copied from multiple different wikipedia pages that deal with general violence instead of the specific one the article is about). Also on more than one occasion they have tried to accuse me of serious misconduct in completely unrelated talk pages ( 1 (striken off and added later) my bad, I meant this : 1, 2). Any idea what recourse is available to me, if any? UnpetitproleX (talk) 10:31, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * You could have just addressed me directly instead of attempting to get support here I have no bone to pick with you but I know biased editing when I see it. Also you are after all the person who wanted to white wash and hide the Amritsar Massacre of Muslims by trying to delete it so I am aware that you come here with a clear Anti Muslim bias as we have seen on multiple articles like Dhaka where you bulldozed your way in with pov materials. I have removed unrelated general violence in the main article here and no it was not copied from multiple different wikipedia pages thats another lie. Also your bias was clear when you tried to push the idea that violence against women started in Rawalpindi and added it to the lead of the article while sources which are reliable state it happened before you also made it clear that specifically Punjab more Muslims were abducted when thats clearly original research and not in the source further to this I wrote the same for Rawalpindi as a result. You then falsely accused me of using unreliable sources when the sources I have used are already present in the main article I just moved them around to more appropriate sections as it is clear you are trying to downplay the murder of Muslims and over emphasis the loss of Sikhs and Hindus like you did when attempting to delete Amritsar Massacre. I will not keep engaging in edit wars with you but bare in mind your actions have been noted to be biased and you will keep getting yourself into problems if you continue with your clearly one sided eits. 2A02:C7C:6782:7A00:8CF:CAB1:C2D1:B44E (talk) 10:45, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Heres another example of the severely skewed and distorted edits made on that article "Violence was also perpetrated on an organized basis, with Pathans taking Hindu and Sikh women from refugee trains while one accused that he witnessed armed Sikhs periodically dragging Muslim women" what do you mean "accussed" the full sentence from Scholar Major Andrews stated this "Violence was also perpetrated on an organized basis, with Pathans taking Hindu and Sikh women from refugee trains while one observer witnessed armed Sikhs periodically dragging Muslim women from their refugee column and killing any men who resisted, while the military sepoys guarding the columns did nothing." So in the led this full sentence was cut and shamelessly distorted to down play the action of Sikhs and over exaggerate what Muslim Pathans did...this is the type of editing synonymous with the toxic religious nationalism prevalent in India today. 2A02:C7C:6782:7A00:8CF:CAB1:C2D1:B44E (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 11:00, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

 * IP editor, I am unable to help you since your IP addesses jumps around and you do not have a stable user talk page, where you can be informed about Wikipedia policies and your editing history recorded/monitored. I suggest that you create a user account. It is free and harmless, and you don't need to reveal any personal informatioin in order to do so.
 * 's complaint is valid because article talk pages are meant for discussing the content of that page only. You cannot randomly interject topical discussions with your opinions regarding his conduct as you did here. General complaints about editor conduct can only be made at WP:ANI (administrator noticeboard), and you need to be able to substantiate the complaint with specific instances of misconduct (using diffs). And the administrators would need to see where you have discussed the issues with the editor directly and how they responded. You can discuss the issues with them on the article talk pages where the problematic content is present, or on UnpetitproleX's own talk page. Writing about editor conduct anywhere would be considered a personal attack and harassment.
 * If you do not agree with anything I have said, I can invite an admin to reinforce it for you. If you disregar it and continue harassing UnpetitproleX, your IP adress or the range of IP addresses of your network may be blocked, which will inconvenience not only you but other users on your network as well. The best option for you is to create a user account. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:48, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Just to keep you informed
About a discussion I initiated @ WT:MOS/LEGAL you had suggested if WP:RSN  would be better place for policy  discussion another user suggested WT:LAW would be better place. I had posted these suggestions @ WP:RSN and intimated @ WP:Teahouse about such discussion requesting inputs. Unfortunately there were no inputs @ WP:RSN probably common audience are not closely aware of nuances and importance of legal aspects.

So what I propose to continue on going primary discussion @  WT:MOS/LEGAL and as and when we see any consensus building up that can be taken up before larger policy making  forum.

This is just to keep you informed. &#32;Bookku   (talk) 07:03, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Request to publish an article on The Resistance Front
Hello, I request you to publish a new article on The Resistance Front which is a similar militant group to PAFF. While doing my research on PAFF, I came across a lot of news articles about their activities and various studies exclusively about TRF. I can help you with all the relevant material I came across.

Scope for a general article about 'Militant activity in Kashmir after the removal of Article 370' also remains open and desirable although it could be argued that it should be added in the Insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir article itself. Kaamavats (talk) 03:13, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Why are you barking up this tree?
"Anti-Hindutva vigilantism" is not a term found anywhere on the internet - why are you intent on pushing this non-existent phrase? Coming from an editor of your experience who understand the concept of sourcing, it is a frankly baffling tangent. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:03, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * If you search for "Muslim vigilante", you get to see all kinds of vigilante activity carried out in various parts of the world. Very little is against "crimes". It is either vigilantism to enforce religious norms or vigilantism against other minorities. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 00:36, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This isn't about that term (though scholar hits are more patchy, fyi); it is about the much more precise and entirely novel term that you have invented. If a term has never before appeared on the internet, it is clearly original thinking. Iskandar323 (talk) 05:34, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Muslim colonisers
, picking up an old thread from User_talk:Kautilya3/Archives/Archive_17, you asked:

Here is some info. Ayesha Jalal:

A Pakistani writer:

Syed Ahmed Khan supposedly disagreed with these views:

I say "supposedly" because this syncretism changed after the Indian National Congress changed and he became an ardent proponent of Muslim separatism, an early version of the Two Nation Theory. The eventual contract that emerged between the INC and the Indian Muslims was one of "soft separatism":

The coloniser mentality continues to rule Pakistan:

 * Politicians say hundreds of things and the commentariat pick and choose among them to build a narrative. I stand by my comment that Syed Ahmed Khan was an early proponent of the two-nation theory. He was one of the first people to understand that the move towards democratisation under the British would lead to a loss of Muslim privilege and, so, fought against it.

2023 Manipur violence
The violence began that same day, when reports surfaced that the Anglo-Kuki War Memorial Gate had been burnt down. This led Kukis to burn several villages inhabited by Meitei communities in Churachanpur, which in turn prompted retaliation by the Meitei, who reportedly torched several localities belonging to the Kuki community in the Imphal Valley areas, leading to several casualties.

Manipur
I am not following the conflict to any significant extent but assuming you are:

(1) Do you recall the Puya Meithaba saga? There is a strong revivalist element in the Meitei mainstream which practices — or aims to practice — some original version of Sanmahism, uncorrupted by Vaishnava elements that have been introduced since Garib Niwaz's reign. It is not an exxageration to say that Nawaz is the greatest villain in Meitei historiography in the vernacular.

(2) Given that (1) has even led to targeted killings of Vaishnavs and a variety of anti-Hindu demonstrations across the 90s (perhaps even later), how is the Meitei-BJP alignment working out so comfortably?

I recalled this aspect of Manipuri history after a long time and could only be confused.TrangaBellam (talk) 16:56, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Recall that "Hindutva" is not Hinduism per se, but rather encompasses all native Indian belief systems. So Hindutva has appropriated Sanamahi as part of itself, and directed them at the "wily Christians". Of course, you and I know that Sanamahi will only bide its time until it can strike back its patron, but Hindutva is supremely confident of itself.

the article Lingam is misleading and attacking on Hindu faith, i request you to please remove some sections which is against wiki and neutralise wherever not possible to remove.

Lingam is false. shiva purana doesn't describe anything related to sage and Parvati story but by quoting some books as reference it is added on wiki,

shiva purana actually describe only cosmic pillar (Stambha) of fire story.

Lingam is also false.

 * Hi, thanks for bringing it up. My expertise doesn't extend to the esoteric aspects of religion, but I can see that the lead is WP:OR and the translation given in the lead sentence is wrong. I slapped some quality templates on it. You can perhaps ask people at WP:WikiProject Hinduism. Unfortunately, that project is quite dormant at this time. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:43, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Regarding a General Question related to Arthshastra
Dear Kautilya33, This is yamantakks and I got to know about you through your reverts on my article of Annexation of Hyderabad and thanks for that because I too was confused and you made it better. But my question was something else which was a general one. As I have seen your user page and seen that you seem to have read the Arthshastra, I wanted to ask that where can we read it for free because I was also trying to do so but was not able to find a pdf version or something like that. And sorry for this miscellaneous message on your talk page, if you want, I may delete it. Regards The Yamantakks (talk) 06:24, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Thoughts?
You seem to be an experienced Wikipedian; hence I come for your inputs. User:Solblaze removing NYT sourced material and calling it fictitious is sneaky. I am not sure how to warn the user. I saw your warning on their page and thought of letting you know of this. Wrythemann (talk) 22:03, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

== The Manipur violence does not have anything to do with "Anti Christian Sentiment" that was mentioned in the article. Please kindly edit the information or else new users who will read that article will be falsely misleaded. ==

￼The Manipur violence's root cause is the poppy plantation and the demand of inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribes. It is not related to any "Anti Christian Sentiment" that was mentioned in the article. SaveManipur (talk) 06:27, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

History of women in indian subcontinent
In the article of history of women in indian subcontinent there is no mention of manusmriti and how it lead to the decline of the rights of women as many other reference claims about it.

Undue and Due facade
Hi there so how is the opinion of a Think Tank widely regarded as anti Muslim and right wing due? surely there views themselves deserve no addition if we take into account their own agenda pointing out there background is more than Due and covering up the think tanks background which is controversial is highly Undue Mrdabalina (talk) 14:43, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Plenty more sources exists which point out how this think tank is geared towards one view of Muslims/islam so to use them as a source is very UNDUE until its pointed out they are biased in some way. If you want more references you can ask. Mrdabalina (talk) 14:46, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Makes no difference. Sources can be WP:BIASED. If this report has been criticised as biased, we can state that, with suitable attribution to those views. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:53, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It makes a huge difference and yes I have pointed out the bias the feeble passing note of "neo-conservative" is just a white wash for what is a very right wing and clearly anti-Muslim think tank and it needs to be mentioned just so people do not think its some innocent independent and neutral reference. Mrdabalina (talk) 14:59, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * On a side note another independent inquiry is being set up for next year so hopefully we have an unbiased and neutral version of events by 2024 this was set up due to the influence of think tanks such as HJS and their biased narratives. Mrdabalina (talk) 15:02, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * A link to the Henry Jackson Society page has been given. That is where any information you want to add about the society needs to go. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:06, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * As mentioned here Nope white washing its inherent bias and agenda is not acceptable nor compatible with Wiki policy you mentioned above. Mrdabalina (talk) 15:08, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * There are skeletons in every cupboard. So please save your breath. If there are criticisms voiced about the report, please bring them forward, and I will study them and cover them as needed. If you don't agree, you can take it to WP:NPOVN. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:24, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Looks like your think tank Jackson has bone to pick with a certain group skeletons and all. Thank you for proving my point and will not be wasting breath on this discussion and your attempts in white washing prejudice. Please note you conveniently ignored every source because you just cant tolerate any opposing view which points fingers at your community. Mrdabalina (talk) 15:29, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain
We have spoken at length about the topic above on your talk page I do not need your false warnings when nobody has made "several edits to a version" and no "edit war" has taken place please your edit was removed ONCE keep this passive aggressive warning off my talk page I have provided sources you may reword that section on HJS how you like but do not try and make out like it was edit warring when I only reverted your edit once and added several references. All the best. Mrdabalina (talk) 16:32, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * We did not agree on anything. The WP:ONUS on obtaining WP:CONSENSUS for edits rests on those that want to make an edit. You still don't have consensus for your edit. And your reinstatement constitutes WP:edit warring. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:30, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I never stated we had agreed on anything yet another false accusation you also falsely claimed I was edit warring and you misused policy to send warnings trying to shut down criticism of HJS read my comment above without making things up I said you can edit as you please and reword but include more about HJS one sided history and credibility but do not throw around accusations just because you do not like an edit which goes against the narrative you want to set. Good day and refrain from continually dragging this on and on. Mrdabalina (talk) 17:52, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Question about source reliability
Hi Kautilya. I was wondering if you could provide some insight on whether a source is reliable not: I initially posted this on the reliable sources noticeboard and the Noticeboard for India related topics but only got one response.

Here is a copy-paste on discerning whether this source is reliable or not:

I want to inquire about Inderjit Singh Jaijee. From what I've gathered about this author, he is a human rights activist in the Punjab region. He used to be a marketing executive until Operation Blue Star occured in 1984, whereupon he dedicated his life to activism. He was also a MLA in the Punjab Legislative Assembly for a year (1985-1986). He is also associated with the Baba Nanak Educational Society (a religious organization judging by its nomenclature) and the Movement Against State Repression (which does not appear to be a particularly prominent organization given that I wasn't able to find anything about it)

Jaijee does not have an educational background in any relevant humanities discpline like history, anthropology, political science but he does have two books that were published by SAGE- written in 2019 and this book written in 2011. I'm not denying the reliability of these SAGE published books but would his earlier books which were not peer reviewed also be considered reliable in light of his later accomplishments-.

In my opinion, they would not, owing to Jaijee's lack of experience and training in academia and the lack of peer review; it was also written over a decade prior to his first SAGE published book.

Thanks in advance. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 21:43, 27 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the alert. I replied at WP:RSN.
 * The main value of academic works is that the academics are generally disinterested scholars, who go wherever the evidence takes them. Activists are not disinterested, and their views should get reduced WP:WEIGHT or used with WP:In-text attribution.
 * I have used, for example, some works by Azad Kashmir writers in writing about Kashmir conflict topics because they are the only ones that knew what happened in the early stages of the conflict. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:42, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help and I completely agree with your analysis. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 14:10, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Urduwood and Hindutva
So... I don't really understand why you removed the link to Urduwood from the Hindutva page. Hindutva is a cultural agenda just as much as a political agenda, so it seems only natural to mention the Urduwood article on the Hindutva page. I don't need that mention to look exactly like how I added it, but it seems strange for the Hindutva article not to discuss this at all.

Hindutva is obviously linked to some extent to the Sanskritisation of Indian languages and the removal of non-Hindu influences from popular culture and society, so the article on Urduwood and the anti-Bollywood boycotts done by Hindu nationalists seems like a very natural topic to discuss in the context of Hindutva. So hopefully you can find some way to mention Urduwood in the Hindutva article; I am fine if you want to add it to the article in your own unique way, and then if I disagree with the way you have added it, we can discuss further. GreekApple123 (talk) 14:12, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * We decide what goes into the page based on what prominent reliable sources about Hindutva cover. Adding anything else is WP:OR. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:20, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * So do you not consider the sources in the Urduwood article prominent and reliable? There are sources like The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/sep/30/bollywood-under-siege-as-rightwing-social-media-boycotts-start-to-bite) (https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/feb/04/pathaan-shah-rukh-khan-bollywood-out-of-doldrums), The Diplomat (https://thediplomat.com/2022/09/is-hindu-nationalists-boycott-bollywood-campaign-impacting-the-box-office/), The New Yorker (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/10/17/when-the-hindu-right-came-for-bollywood), The Economist (https://www.economist.com/books-and-arts/2021/02/25/the-siege-of-bollywood), etc. which I would consider to be very big publications which are highly reliable and which do a lot of coverage of Hindu nationalism and related changes in India's politics and society.
 * If that's not enough, check out these two sources which I got off a Google Scholar search for Urduwood and Hindutva: (https://escholarship.org/content/qt0mj6t4hf/qt0mj6t4hf.pdf), (https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/177340/19-Agarwal-BoycottBollywood-Social%20Media%20and%20Society%20in%20India%20Proceedings-100-108-10.73027937.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y); both of them discuss Urduwood and modern-day Hindu nationalism (which I assume you accept as an alternative way of referring to Hindutva).
 * Do let me know if there's anything I can do to provide better sources if these do not suffice. GreekApple123 (talk) 17:54, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Which of those articles is titled "Urduwood", like you have done? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:08, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * None of them, as far as I know. But it seems like you're applying standards which don't appear in Wikipedia rules; as long as I have credible articles which discuss in depth the nexus between Hindu nationalism and anti-Bollywood boycotts that are premised on an opposition to Urdu/Islamic influences, then I believe that it ought to be mentioned in the Hindutva article in some capacity or other.
 * It sounds to me that your only criterion of opposition at the moment is the name "Urduwood"; while I don't exactly agree with your opposition to that (seeing as I have shown you several sources which articulate what the term "Urduwood" is, what it refers to, etc, and the sources show that it's a common name used in conjunction with the overarching phenomenon of opposition to Bollywood displayed by Hindu nationalists), I'm willing to add content to the Hindutva article which simply mentions that some Hindu nationalists have been boycotting Bollywood movies because they oppose it on the grounds of what they claim to be excessive Urdu and anti-Hindu sentiments, if that's something you can agree to. Perhaps the Urduwood article can just be linked to but in a way that doesn't use the name explicitly; something like:
 * "Hindutva activists have boycotted several Bollywood movies in the past, claiming that they use too much Urdu and are offensive to Hindu sentiments." GreekApple123 (talk) 21:45, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Try adding it to the "Protection of Hindu interests" section. Mind you that "Urduwood" should never be used in Wikipedia voice. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 22:07, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Zhaxigang Township and pinyin orthography
Hi Kautilya3, this is Sameer. I've received your message about my edit on the article Zhaxigang Township. In the edit, I removed the spaces in the pinyin transliteration of the name of the township, from 'Zhā xī gǎng xiāng' into 'Zhāxīgǎng xiāng'. I didn't provide any sources then, because one of the basic rules of pinyin orthography is that spaces should be placed between words instead of syllables. So I am going to redo that edit. Thank you.
