Looks promising, but I'm not too sure on its prospects given that The Times of India's reliability is unclear per WP:TOI. I'll leave it up to another reviewer to decide. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 10:54, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Slgrandson: Thanks for the review, I have replaced the refs. with WP:THEHINDU. Kindly check. Thanks RV (talk) 18:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@RAJIVVASUDEV:

Subscription service (The Hindu locks articles past a one-year moving wall), but the second ¶ in the link manages to capture the barest gist of the hook. Wishing you well once the source is further reviewed and the hook approved. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 03:18, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Slgrandson: Additional Source added. Thanks RV (talk) 05:29, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
