Books

[edit]
  • Agrawal, Lion MG (2008). Freedom Fighters of India. Gyan Publishing House. ISBN 9788182054721. - a Gyan book, reported by SpacemanSpiff. NB: this is a four-volume set, and there are various ISBNs
  • Saxena, Dr. Sunil K. History of Medieval India. Pinnacle Technology. ISBN 9781618202635. {{cite book}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |1= (help) - compare Babur at December 2010 with this, published in 2011.
  • Anything by James Tod
  • J. M. Wikeley's Panjab Musalmans. Wikeley was a professional soldier who wrote a handbook intended for use by other soldiers. That book consists almost entirely of plagiarism and what would now be considered to be copyright violations. His plagiarism was of pseudo-academics etc from earlier times, such as H. A. Rose. Although much used here on Wikipedia, he is not commonly cited by any modern academics etc. The use of him on Wikipedia is, in my experience, only ever done when it "puffs" a certain group of people. The publisher was a non-notable printing Lahore business whose name is commonly mis-spelled as "Painting House".
  • Encyclopaedia Indica - see this
  • Khan, Hussain (2003). Chronicles of Early Janjuas. iUniverse. ISBN 9781462088645. - eg: compare p. 5 with Ancient Pakistan. 7. Department of Archaeology, University of Peshawar: 180. 1991 http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LRNuAAAAMAAJ. {{cite journal}}: Missing or empty |title= (help), which is identical but not acknowleged as such.
  • Desai, A. R. (1975). Society In India. Popular Prakashan. ISBN 9788171540136. is an exact copy of the earlier Mandelbaum, David Goodman (1970). Society in India: Continuity and change. University of California Press. ISBN 9780520016231.
  • Anna Orton (2010). India's Borderland Disputes: China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Epitome Books. pp. 21–. ISBN 978-93-80297-15-6.. The section The Great India-China Game on page 21 is an exact replica of an article by Mohan Guruswamy [1]. The other sections are also possibly plagiarised. In fact, the author "Anna Orton" may be a fake name. I can't find any information about such a "well-known political analyst and columnist". -- Kautilya3 (talk) 00:28, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Bimal Kanti Paul (2012). "Indian Famines: 1707-1943". In William A. Dando (ed) (ed.). Food and Famine in the 21st Century. ABC-CLIO. pp. 39–57. ISBN 978-1-59884-730-7. {{cite book}}: |editor= has generic name (help) - seems to have copied from Wikipedia without attribution. See discussion here.
