Can anyone tell me what the real ending of Umer Marvi is?

According to the one I have heard, Umer sets her free.

But according to two sources on the internet, Khet disguises himself as a dervish and Marvi runs away with him.

The two sources are http://www.opf.org.pk/almanac/F/folktales.htm & http://www.usp.nus.edu.sg/post/pakistan/literature/moon/moon2.html

The wikipedia article on Umer Marvi is copied from the OPF website. But the ending has been changed to say she is set free by Umer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umar_Marvi

Please, tell me the real ending.

Please do not remove Indian Template

Please do not remove Indian Template from here ,Because there are many Sindhi Author from India. (Legendary sindhi writer "Mohan Kalpana" is from India)

There are many more Sindhi Authors living in India ,we will keep tag of other country too if that have as many as Sindhi author as in India? agree?

Khalidkhoso 13:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Fowler&fowler's reasoning is flawed for following reasons: 1. This article is about Sindhi Literature. Sindhi is a language and not a place. Thus the reason is no reason. 2. Talk page should not be a place to push your POV!!! Which template residing on a Talk page, representing the article is important for which country IS NOT a matter of dispute. Thus action is useless.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Anupamsr (talk • contribs)

RfC. Indian Templates presence

Requesting for Comment
Information regarding this topic. Sindh is a Province in Pakistan, which has never carried the Republic of Indian flag: Certain users seem to be in favour of adding a Republic of India template, above the template of Pakistan. Please comment on if this template should even be there. Several users have already been banned for removing the Indian template.
Note I am assuming good faith by Indian users, and asking them not to comment on this matter. I will not comment on this matter, and ask Pakistani users not to comment on this matter either. Let a Neutral Party decide if the Indian Template stays or not.
Thank you for your time.

The template doesn't mean anything but the fact that there are Indian users who are willing to contribute to this article in a collaborative sense. Given the fact that so many Indians are Sindhi, this is quite definitely true, and in the sense of an Indo-Aryan culture, such a culture does spread over Sindh. Thus removing thet template is nonsensical. — Nobleeagle ^[TALK] [C] 06:52, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the Indian flag if that insults you (it insulted numerous Pakistani users before). Note that WP India removes it's flag for most, if not all, of it's pre-1947 articles, something which WP Pakistan may consider introducing as it does not do it at the moment. — Nobleeagle ^[TALK] [C] 06:53, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NobleEagle, I respect your comment, but I didnt comment on this matter for a reason.Besides, the flag you want to use was created in 1947, the term India was used in 1850. I specifically asked for someone else, since a third point of view is clearly needed here. Pakistani and Indian users see things differently. Its no secret, so we require a third user to comment on things we most likely miss. I hope you will see what I mean.

You misunderstand me. The tag says that it is part of the Indian WikiProject. That means that Indian editors are willing to work on it, so many Indians are Sindhis, it is only logical that they work on stuff relating to their own culture. The tag doesn't mean India owns the page, the flag has been removed per your wishes as I understand some Pakistani users find the flag insulting. The Pakistani template is on top of the Indian one if that changes anything for you. You can ask this directly to some admins like User:Dbachmann. — Nobleeagle ^[TALK] [C] 06:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You misunderstand me. Check this page [1]. I am not only referring to the Indian template on this page. --Unre4Lﺍﹸﻧﺮﮮﺍﻝ ^UT 14:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am a Sri Lankan Tamil, so I am not Indian. I think with relation to Sindhi, the Sahitya Akademi in India gives sponsorship to Sindhi literature and even a prize every year for Sindhi literature. So that gives a link between Sindhi literature and India which I think makes the sub-category justified.

If you look, you will see that there is a subcategory of the Indian literature category called "Tamil literature". Many of the authors in that category are from Sri Lanka and have no connection with India, but they are still in a category which is a sub-category of Indian literature. When an ethnic group is split across different countries (like Sindhis and Tamils are), these type of complications result. I don't think it's an attempt to claim bits of Pakistani culture. You could have similar issues with Afghanistan on Pashto literature. -- Ponnampalam 01:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To give you some examples, see Talk:Appadurai Muttulingam, Talk:V. Akilesapillai, Talk:Dominic Jeeva, Talk:Eelattu Poothanthevanar, and Talk:Meary James Thurairajah Tambimuttu. All these are Sri Lankan authors, but the talk pages have the India flag to say that it is part of that project. We don't have a problem with that because it only means that maybe some Indian Tamils will be able to improve the article. Maybe you can take the same attitude here? -- Ponnampalam 02:17, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, I think there should be no issue with placing a template of that country which has Sindhi authors, so Indian related template and Pakistan or Sindh related templates should be legitimate to place in this article.JogiAsad (talk) 15:46, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Mirza Qalich Baig.jpg

Image:Mirza Qalich Baig.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Requesting wider attention

I felt article Islamic_literature is in bit of neglect so I added my note on talk page there, requesting to take note of Talk:Islamic_literature#Article_review. If possible requesting copy edit support. Suggestions for suitable reference sources at Talk:Islamic_literature is also welcome.

Posting message here too for neutrality sake

Thanks and greetings

Needs attention from an expert

Have tagged as needing expert attention. I think the article may contain original research (eg: "From what I know, at that time there was a satirical language and there was literature on it"). Without more expertise than I have, it is impossible to copyedit sentences like "Gahi is type evental and descriptive beet" as I do not understand the meaning.

I am a Sindhi, I will look into this article in future. TheBushSush (talk) 09:13, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
