Hey !

Hey Ghatus, Can you please have a look to this "Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 ? Have a look to the recent POV Addition by one of the Pakistani editor "Wikibaba1977" ! "According to neutral assessments and the most recent estimates Pakistan held 1600 square miles of Indian territory ( 1300 of it in dessert ) while India holding 350 square miles of Pakistan territory but of greater strategic value in Lahore , Sialkot and Kashmir Sector[50][51][52][53]" ! Please check the reliability of the sources given..... MBlaze Lightning (talk) 05:17, 3 November 2015 (UTC) MBlaze Lightning (talk) 05:17, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

And have a look to this too [1] "A Pakistan another bias and obvious fake claim ? MBlaze Lightning (talk) 05:29, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Well. I'll look into it later. BTW, you can do it by yourself. Ghatus (talk) 08:22, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Muslim conquests

Suppose Delhi had developed an Islamic community, which eventually grew powerful enough to take over the surrounding kingdoms. Then you would call it the "rise of Muslim powers." But that is not what happened. The Muslim rulers from the surrounding regions of India came to conquer. Should it be called a "Muslim conquest," i.e., was religion a factor? The answer is again yes, because the Turko-Persian literature of the time is full of Islamist ideology. - Kautilya3 (talk) 10:04, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

@Kautilya3:, Religion was the last thing they were concerned about. Modern historians call it "the Turkish conquest". All came as Turks or Mongols, but some of them (S.Lodi, Firoz Tughlaq, A'zeb) expanded their kingdom as Muslims. Ghatus (talk) 13:53, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

In Delhi Sultanate, there was the concept of "Jahandari and Dindari". And, Mongols were ruled by "Turah" or " Yasa" or "Yusun" or "Yasaq" (the laws formulated by Chingiz after his ascendancy ).Ghatus (talk) 14:16, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Ok, even if we leave the religion out of the picture (for the sake of argument), it was still a conquest. It wasn't simply "the rise of Muslim powers." - Kautilya3 (talk) 16:55, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it was indeed a "conquest" in 1206. But, it was not the only conquest to single out. More than a dozen of such conquests took place in the preceding 2000 years having profound impacts. Either mention them all or mention them not at all. Again, only 2 out of 7 Muslim dynasties that dominated North India came into being through conquest. Other five, which include dynasties like Khiljis, Tughlaqs, Suris etc, grabbed power by dint of Coups, not conquest. So, "Muslim rule or Muslim Powers" and "conquests" are not synonymous. Ghatus (talk) 05:21, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Punjab

You haven't noticed this insertion of Punjab [2], have you? - Kautilya3 (talk) 09:37, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

One can include UP( as it was based around the middle gangetic plane), but not Punjab. Then, he has to include Bengal too.Ghatus (talk) 09:42, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

History of India

"Communal interpretation of history. Read "Historiography, Religion, and State in Medieval India" - By Satish Chandra"

1. By that logic, "Muslim Powers" is communal.
2. John Keay (India, A History) and RC Majumdar (History and culture of the Indian people) both regard the medieval period a tussle between Hindu and Muslim dynasties. Both are Neutral source.
3. Using Satish Chandra - known for his Marxist historiography - as a neutral source is similar to someone using P. N. Oak as a source. (140.239.232.12 (talk) 16:32, 25 November 2015 (UTC))

This discussion should take place at the article's talk page. I am copying it there. - Kautilya3 (talk) 17:11, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

On Saturday/Sunday ( when Univ is not open) I will respond to the IP Nut (if the case is not already closed) who sees Indian medieval period as 2000 years and who can't see there were more Muslim Vs Muslim than Hindu vs Muslim in the 500 years period of Medieval India. It's about the continuity, not communal intervention. Do you have any Idea why Mughals call themselves officially The descendants of Timur, not Muslims or Mughals?Ghatus (talk) 18:01, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Asif Haroon

Regarding Capitals00's edit here. The source is unverifiable, via google books, and I found nothing about Arif Haroon after a quick search. My concern lies with the reliability of the source. Figured you might know something about the author or source. Thanks. --Kansas Bear (talk) 18:00, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

@Kansas Bear:I know that Aurangzeb banned alcohol and gambling and I am sure of it. I think you can replace it with any other authentic source and it will not be a tough job to find a WP:RS in Google. Ghatus (talk) 14:55, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:41, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Welcome back

Hi Ghatus, glad to see you back! We are debating the issues of slavery at Dasa and Religion and slavery. Hope to see your expertise help us there. - Kautilya3 (talk) 09:50, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

@Kautilya3:, I have started to take Ms Sarah Welch less seriously. She is doing Kolaveri Di in every article as if she owns them. Stop responding to her whims and fancies. Ghatus (talk) 14:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Well, on Wikipedia, we have to represent all view points fairly. You can get access to sources in University libraries in India, which will be useful for the purpose. - Kautilya3 (talk) 14:43, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

@Kautilya3:, Through my university library, I do have free access to JSTOR, Project MUSE etc, but I have found only a few helpful. Others are the result of "overheated imaginations". Books by eminent writers are the best. And, being a PG student, I know very well HOW and WHY these papers are written. We mostly write papers not to spread knowledge, but to improve our "academic score" for our career. :-) Ghatus (talk) 14:54, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Well, that is too cynical a view. Of course, all academics have a career to build. They are not doing public service. But, within that frame, they are also following their interests and the issues they might care about, perhaps not all of them but a good majority. When they don't do it out of interest, their work ends up being mediocre and gets ignored.

Coming back to the issue, JSTOR etc. are fine for us over here, but I don't have access to the physical books published in India. I thought you might. - Kautilya3 (talk) 15:24, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

An afterthought: I sense a bit of socialist dogma above, which claims that everybody does public service and only the crooks look after self-interest. The fact of the matter is that we all look after self-interest and we all do a bit of public service. Both are valuable. Take a scholar like Cynthia Talbot for example. She picked an area that was little studied before (the history of medieval Deccan) and made a phenomenal difference. Did she do it for "academic score" or just to improve things? Does it matter? - Kautilya3 (talk) 12:47, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

@Kautilya3:, I myself is a born "anti"-socialist. I consider them animals of " The Animal Farm". But, my opinion was not on morality, but on quality, especially for most those papers are written by M.Phil/ PhD students/scholars (though they are my seniors but my interaction happens with them almost on daily basis in our department. Personally, I have seen their sincerity!!!) However, I am not talking about eminent Profs./researchers/writers. I am talking about those campus guys who crowd national/foreign journals with their "research papers".Ghatus (talk) 13:20, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Well, the Indian academic scene is not yet of a high standard. Most University departments don't do much research and everybody with a suitable degree can get a job. And there are all kinds of journals cropping up to cater to such people. But JSTOR etc. don't accept such riff-raff journals as far as I know. At least I haven't yet run into a bad paper on JSTOR. - Kautilya3 (talk) 15:33, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

@Kautilya3:, I can only say what I see. And, research varies from university to university. Take it sportingly, I doubt if you have enough experience on how a "Paper" is prepared for a journal. The borders of nations in publishing a "Paper" in a journal are insignificant today. There are three steps - registration process, fee process and publication process. Today, almost every student has to pay to publish in a journal- be it an Indian journal or a foreign journal, only eminent writers are excluded. And, finally JSTOR is not at all a journal. It's a digital library giving access to those journals I mentioned before. If you write a "Paper" with proper citations and there is some sense in it and you are ready to pay, I can make arrangements to publish your "Paper" in one of the world's reputed journals and subsequently you can "see" your paper in JSTOR. It is only the ISSN number that matters. Ghatus (talk) 04:49, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

I don't know why I haven't run into such papers. I know the publishing racket ok, because I myself get "invitations" to publish or serve as an editor etc. But JSTOR is a non-profit group supported by contributions from member Universities. If it includes junk journals, we can complain and get them removed. So please use your hamsa niti here. - Kautilya3 (talk) 11:57, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

@Kautilya3:,This is not any racket,Kautilya. This is the norm. You have to pay to the journal OFFICIALLY (they will give you receipt also) to get your "Paper" published. No payment, no publication. What is the illegality here? All journals charge for publication. BTW, what is hamsa niti?Ghatus (talk) 12:03, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

The allegorical hamsa drinks all the milk and leaves out the water. I don't know why we don't have a Wikipage on it. - Kautilya3 (talk) 12:06, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

@Kautilya3:, This Article processing charge has now become a norm than exception. This was not the situation even a few years ago. Now, you think that a PH.D scholar has to publish about 20-25 articles within 5 years along with preparing his thesis paper (do not forget project works+pre submission readings+ public defense) and continuously attending seminars and doing presentations in workshops in order to be a Professor or to get a good job. And, then they complain why quality research is not being done??? That is why we all must follow hamsa niti...Ghatus (talk) 12:27, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi there!

Please note that there is an ongoing discussion on Talk:Subhas Chandra Bose and the page will soon be reorganized. We would welcome your comments on the talk page, but would be grateful if you would hold off making major edits for now, as the reorganizing process will become harder and more confusing. Thanks for reducing the captions of the images! Best regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 13:11, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

PS I have now added and "underconstruction" sign on the Bose page. I hope you did not mind my reverting your edit. Perhaps it can be reintroduced in a paraphrase later. It is just that quote boxes put one POV (the one in the box) in the limelight, and, before long, to counter it, another quote box appears ... Fowler&fowler«Talk» 13:25, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

All right. I will wait for some days. The quote is WP:RS. BTW, I was also going to put a counter PoV quote by Gandhi but you intervened.Ghatus (talk) 13:39, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

A quote, for sure, is RS, as an illustration of some reliably sources critical opinion, but a quote box, or two, or three, ..., is problematic in controversial articles. (See WP:LONGQUOTE: "*As a matter of style, quote boxes should generally be avoided as they draw special attention to the opinion of one source, and present that opinion as though Wikipedia endorses it. Such emphasis on one quote violates NPOV. All quotes should be treated the same. Instead of using a quote box to highlight its notability, explain its importance before introducing the quote or in an introduction to the quote. The quote can simply be indented using a colon and enclosed in quotation marks.") Besides, Gandhi is not an expert on Indian history. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 14:34, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Arbitration

Indo-Pakistani War of 1971

Dear, Ghatus. This is to inform you that, Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 has been vandalised again by bunch of pakistani POV warriors. You are an experienced editor, so its my humble request to you, to revert edits by those POV pushers on Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. thanks. 101.60.155.226 (talk) 09:33, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Ok. I'll look into it.Ghatus (talk) 11:24, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 ‎, you may be blocked from editing. According to wikipedia policy a source is "NOT REQUIRED TO BE ONLINE" for it to be considered a"reliable" source. Please read WP:RS before blanking again FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 12:22, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Big reverts

Hi Ghatus, please don't do big reverts like that. They are very demoralising to the editors and only help to inflame opinions. Three editors are currently under ARBIPA sanctions. You risk getting there too if you act in this way. Please feel free to open talk page discussions. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 15:31, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

RfC on the 1965 war

Hi Ghatus, it seems that you feel quite strongly about this issue [4]. However note that calling it a "fact" does not settle the matter. Different people might see different "facts" and Wikipedia is not an investigation agency or a court of law to determine whose facts are actually facts. RfC's are indeed the established mechanism on Wikipedia to determine the appropriate content. So "withdrawing from the RfC" isn't productive. Please calm down and get an understanding of how Wikipedia works. Pinging Joshua Jonathan and RegentsPark to offer further advice. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 12:41, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks.Ghatus (talk) 12:49, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

I can understand that Ghatus withdraws form that RfC. India-Pakistan is a hellish topic, isn't it? So/but indeed: stay cool, calm down, have a break, etc. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 12:53, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Ghatus, there is no such thing as a fact on Wikipedia, only reliably sourced information, appropriately balanced. If there is a preponderance of reliable academic sources supporting a statement, then that should go in the text of the article along with the reasons stated in the sources and with opposing views presented, appropriately balanced. But it is your responsibility to make the case that the sources are reliable and that they are reasonably representative of scholarly consensus, and then to follow whatever dispute resolution mechanisms there are if you can't convince other editors. Facts are elusive and facts in the fog of war particularly so. --regentspark (comment) 12:55, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

But at the same time, can numerical majority turn scholarly logical conclusions upside down? I mean - just by numerical majority without providing counter wp:rs? In that discussion, no one is providing any source. They are giving opinions only whereas I provided eight scholarly( all even non-Indian) sources. So I lost my temper. BTW, thank you all (Kautilya3,Joshua Jonathan, RegentsPark)for your valuable advices.Ghatus (talk) 13:06, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

That's where the DR process comes in - by providing a larger set of neutral eyes. --regentspark (comment) 13:30, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Absolutely correct. Hence, it proves the futility of RfC in this case.Ghatus (talk) 13:40, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Not really. If you don't make a good case in an RfC, you're going to find it harder when you go up the chain. Plus, you're sending two dangerous messages - that you know what the right answer is and that the 'other side' is unreasonable. In my experience, neither of those two assumptions are likely to be valid. The correct (balanced, reliably sourced) wording of contentious ideas in an article is usually somewhere along the spectrum of where you are and where the 'others' are. And most long term editors recognize this and are willing to work toward that wording. Disengaging sends the wrong set of messages. --regentspark (comment) 13:47, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks.Ghatus (talk) 14:00, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Relax, relax, relax. Wikipedia has seen hundreds of battles like this one. So has the Indian subcontinent. I started this RfC in order to calm things down. If some people want to bet their life on it, let them. You don't need to do it as well. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:35, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

April 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 08:25, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

You are welcome to Wiki, boy. I am here for about two years. And, do not disturb me on my talk page.Bye.Ghatus (talk) 08:53, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Please refrain from personal attacks. Refrain from personal attacks includes attacks in edit summaries and even on your own TP. So try to behave yourself please FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 08:57, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

FreeatlastChitchat, And do not try to be over smart. Remain within your aukaat. Get lost from my talk page.Ghatus (talk) 08:59, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:Ghatus. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Editors are allowed to post warnings on others TalkPages. If you do not want a warning please be kind enough to stop the behavior leading to a warning. Your sentence "And do not try to be over smart. Remain within your aukaat. Get lost from my talk page." is very uncivil so please be kind enough to either strike that or just remove it, no need to apologize for it, just be kind enough to remove it. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 09:05, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

@Ghatus dude read what I wrote just below lol. It was edit conflicted or something and didnt go through. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 09:20, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Some peace

Hello. I tried posting this before but seems to be edit conflict or soemthing lol. Anyway here goes. We both seem to be going around in circles biting at each other over petty little things. So how about we do something about this bad faith eh? I see that you are interested in South Asia, and you can see that so am I so lets create an article together about the old history of the subcontinent, something without politics, about agriculture, some history article perhaps or even one about the environment. We can use my sandbox for this article, feel free to edit it as you wish. I will let you decide whichever article you want to pick and we can work on it before getting it into mainspace. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 09:16, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

FreeatlastChitchat, You are welcome. I am a student of History. So, I can only contribute in the history section- be it economic history, military history, social history, religious history , political history or the new flavor of the age - subaltern history. I am post graduate student of History, probably will be doing research from the next year. If you create anything on history, feel free to share with me. I am sick looking at the amount of communal history believed by ignorant masses of our subcontinent whereas we had a composite culture of mutual exchange from time immemorial in our History of India. Ghatus (talk) 09:28, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Kulbhushan Yadav edits

Hi Ghatus, I don't know why you are wasting time on this. We can't do anything sensible until better facts are available. We have better things to do than fight over this. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 18:17, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

But. that does not mean allowing Pak POV as NPOV. I can't play "neutral-neutral" game.Ghatus (talk) 03:11, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Nothing to do with this, but check out this edit, especially the word "liberated." There is more to life than fighting Pakistani militarists. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:51, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

What's point? King Manindra was a great Greek "King" converted to Buddhism. His conversations with Saint Nagsen is a very important historical text. BTW, are you referring to one Sardar Fateh Mohd Khan Karelv?Ghatus (talk) 03:19, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

The point is to note a local Poonchi's view of their history as well as their view of what happened in 1947. I have seen several Poonchis say on the Internet that they never heard of anything called "Poonch uprising," which supposedly gave rise to the Azad Kashmir movement. Have any historians studied what actually happened in Poonch? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:00, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Kautilya3, Discussion on Jammu Massacre is strictly forbidden in Univs by UGC/Govt. Something happened surely but the degree is unknown. Same is the case with Hyd massacre. All historians get more or less finalcial help from Govts/UGC, so none tried to unearth it fully.Ghatus (talk) 12:34, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

That is awful. I am going to work on an article on the Jammu massacres. Hopefully, at least some information will come out that way.

However, it is a misconception that the `Poonch uprising' had something to do with the Jammu massacres. It started on 4 September 1947, whereas the Jammu massacres probably started around 20 October (even though there was disorganised communal violence earlier). See Timeline of the Kashmir conflict. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:51, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Kautilya3,all were interrelated upto the tribal invasion. All were "Actions-Reactions". Something was brewing for a long time, probably from 1932.Ghatus (talk) 01:41, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, but I think you are in danger of inverting reaction and action. That is why I worked on the timeline to get the sequence clear. For the significance of the 20 October date, see the M. S. Golwalkar page. There is a book to be written about these things. But nobody does. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 08:08, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

I notice that you have gotten into trouble at WP:ANI as well as WP:AN3 for edit-warring at Kulbhushan Yadav. I can stick my neck out and support you, provided you promise to stay away from this page. You are valuable editor, and we need you, with a clean block record!-- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:35, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kulbhushan Yadav. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

" If we don't take an action against the violator now, he will surely violate it again thinking that Fortuna, Jeppiz or Kautilya are there at AN3 to defend and save him so why should he care for any policy." - Too much. LoL.Ghatus (talk) 02:44, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Brahmagupta's Multan connection?

Hi Ghatus, your historical expertise would be useful here. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:33, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

@Kautilya3

Brahmagupta...Newton of India... Post Gupta era... Represents the Golden Age of India... Born possibly in Rajasthan... No confirmation. (If historians can not even say where Chanakya was actually born, how could they be certain about any Tom-Dick-Harry's birth palce?)Ghatus (talk) 02:24, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Oh my God!!!Such a heated debate on canvassing...Ha..ha..ha.Ghatus (talk) 02:28, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Kautilya3, I will ping you hundred times from now. Pinging someone does not mean canvassing. :-)Ghatus (talk) 02:48, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, it looks like pining is a better way to call people than to request it on User talks. Will do so from now on.

I will copy your message to Talk:Brahmagupta and respond there. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:34, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Tarek Fatah

Interesting guy [5]. I am looking forward to his book, apparently called "Jinnah's orphans." -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:22, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

It reminds me. Jinnah's biggest grouse that he didn't have the exclusive right to Muslims. "If you nominate any Muslims to the Cabinet, I want my Pakistan." The Congress did nominate Muslims and he had his Pakistan. That is how the Cabinet Mission Plan fell apart. Maybe Jinnah himself was an Intenet beast of his time, who had lost touch with the real word.

Sorry this Radio XL is messing with my head. I am losing the Internet realities! - Kautilya3 (talk) 20:51, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Internet world

I am sitting here listening to Radio XL and the Pakistani compere is taking requests from Hindu ladies, whose names he can't figure out ("Saudamini"), but nevertheless admiring their choice of songs. That is real world. I look at my screen and find this nationalist-fundamentalist bullshit. This is the Internet world. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:40, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
