Removed categories

Malik Barkat Ali was an Indian Punjabi politician and journalist, from the area that now comprises Pakistani Punjab, but someone has added the categories 'Indian academics' and 'Pakistani academics' probably on the strength of the fact that for a brief while, Malik sahib also taught at some collegs in Lahore. Does such teaching experience constitute being categorised as an 'academic'? I dont really agree, since most of the other academics listed in these categories are people with extensive research and publications too, and long/full time careers in academia. hence, I am removing these categories from this article, please. 39.54.66.24 (talk) 05:18, 14 March 2012 (UTC)Prof Asad U Khwaja[reply]
