This article needs better wikifying. Insignificant things are wikified in this article. For example, "1000 women for nobel peace prize" is not given any references while the extremely popular "Nobel Peace Prize" is wikified.

See the sentence,

Ruth's father, Paul Dhanraj, a government servant in the postal department, had mobilised poor people in the villages near their locality to successfully struggle for rights to the land they were living on for generations.

Each of the insignificant "government", "postal" are wikified.

If I get time, I will try to wikify it myself. But great effort from the author indeed.

Footnote no 4

http://www.socialworkfootprints.org/articles/navaratnas-of-professional-social-work-in-india-women-social-workers-who-changed-millions-of-lives-dr-ruth-manorama does not exist anymore (error 404), the new website seems to be https://socialworkfootprints.com/ , which doesn't feature this article. https://web.archive.org/web/20171202150957/http://www.socialworkfootprints.org/articles did not load after several hours, so I will delete the footnote. Maybe somebody with more internet skills is able to find the content? --Ilka5 (talk) 15:34, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
