Relatively non-notable journalist. The Journal he founded may be notable, but it does not translate into notability for the editor or founder of the journal. References are poor and strong enough to back the article. Uncletomwood (talk) 17:07, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep The references need improvement, but he appears to be notable. I added his receipt of the London Institute of South Asia (LISA) Book of the Year Award for 2005. Coverage on him is not recent, so you really can't expect to find it in electronic sources.  His book The Black Untouchables of India has been through multiple editions and is widely cited. In fact, looking at his citation history in Google scholar can give one a better understanding of his importance. --Bejnar (talk) 21:42, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep I'll admit borderline, but I think there's enough sources to pass WP:GNG in this case. Granted many of the sources are not third party, but I believe that a few are (unless I'm incorrect) and that's enough to establish notability.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:34, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NAUTHOR with major award noted above. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:49, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
