Hello Bhadani! I have read that articles from India Today you have sent to me. It was very interesting to read about problems of contemporary India. I have another question about India for you. How about football in India? It is the most popular sport in all over the world. But I think your national team is quite poor, it is quite surprising for population of over 1 billion. Bahrain with 500,000 people plays better :). Also I haven't seen too many sportspeople from India at the Olympics etc. Why? :) Note for other Indian Wikipedians watching this page: You can answer me too. :) - Darwinek 20:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will give my comments within two-three days: [1]. --Bhadani 15:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I remained silent. Was it on account of shame? --Bhadani 17:16, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No shame for you. It's just interesting. Maybe other Indians could answer this. - Darwinek 17:56, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are right perhaps. I will also try to reach conclusions. --Bhadani 17:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The smile was very nice of you. PS-Your city's style of curry is one of the two best dishes in the world, tied with Cincinnati-style chili. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 15:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The "curry style" of my city! Yes. But how do you know? The dish you sent me is equally good. Thank you! --Bhadani 16:00, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My wife's best friend's family is from Chennai and her mother and grandmother make a complete spread whenever we are in town.

"India-Indian"

Hi Bhadaniji - there is an issue on the usage of "India-Indian" with respect to modern Republic of India and India the region. Please weigh in again here[3]. We're trying to make absolutely sure that there is a general agreement. This Fire Burns.....Always 06:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My reply copied from his page: I would like to participate in the discussion, but I would not do that as several wikipedians may impute motives to the discussion, particularly those who edit here with an agenda and have almpost zero knowledge about India except that more Hindus live in india than persons of other religions. Regards. --Bhadani 15:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, Bhadaniji. As a prominent editor, you should actively participate and set an example. How else are the rest of us to improve? Please cite your views to help us reach a consensus. We've all been quite frank about the sensitive issue, so your views will be unhindered. This Fire Burns.....Always 15:41, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Nirav, I thank you once again for requesting me to participate in the issue. i am aware of the discussion and the type of lobbying being conducted ([4]). Please try to understand that I can not compete with editors who are here to destroy the credibility of wikipedia. I am a simple mortal doing a little edits here and there - let the big editors decide big issues! I have only one concern: they should not decide the matter in a way which causes the "virtual death' of wikipedia on a long term basis. However, I am sure that black sheep amongs us shall not survive for long. Regards. --Bhadani 15:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No Bhadaniji you misunderstand user:Spasage. He's not lobbying AE - I did have a long dialogue with him, and he's doing the same thing I did when I invited you to join the discussion. Besides, fears should not prevent you from doing the right thing and participating. If you start defining "big editors," etc, you will only be giving in to them. This Fire Burns.....Always 15:55, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let the big editors become bigger, but they shall not be able to kill wikipedia! Smaller wikipedians like me beleonging to a poor country shall continue to strive in a small but significant way to keep the credibility of wikipedia alive. I once again thank you for your request. However, I shall not participate in the discussion as I know that truth does not depend on the consensus. Regards. --Bhadani 16:03, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I missed your birthday party. Already over 2 weeks ago. I wish you all the best. (from his page). --Bhadani 16:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Everybody missed my bday party! No fault of their own - I returned from my Wikibreak on June 25, and only then decided to post the date, though with no intention to attract attention. I was very pleased, during my RfA and now this, to know how many good friends I have here - makes me very thankful! This Fire Burns.....Always 16:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A message from a friend

Dear Friend; perhaps you should read about POV And NPOV in books also, dont take wikipedia as god's rule, ciao:):)iquadri 09:10, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adab my dear friend. I do fully agree with you. I will try to remain in touch with you and learn more about POV and NPOV. However, while doing edits here we have to conform to the wikipedian views of the POV and NPOV. Now, let us all work together to build a nice wikipedia, reflective of the truth. Regards.

Thank you
Re: [5] & [6]

Hello Queen, I thank you for reverting the nasty edits from a nice person on my page. Had it been there it would not have made much difference, as some people are prone to give in to anger very soon, particularly when they do not understand that the reason for acting in any particular way. Actually, they are "uneducated" persons and require sympathy. May God Bless them and their parents who raised such brilliant kids! --Bhadani 11:07, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My further advice to my dear friend who does not know the use of proper words: [7]. Such provocative comments are not going to deter me or any other true wikipedian from building the Project. --Bhadani 11:27, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting... so it seems that u think that the anonymous user was me.. Well frankly, i live in a student residence where there are 2 computers and both have used by all students.. so i dont know who used it and left whatever comments.. Anyway.. its interesting in the sense.. that i had in the past some problems with the same ip address using my comments and manipulating them.. so i guess it seems i will hafta see that.. as for my user profile being changed by that ip.. i didnt knew.. i usually do not get a lot of time to spend on wikipedia and dont know too much about its options and facilities. However, rest assured, it wasn't me..But since i use the same computer.. i will c how to resolve the problem.. ciao — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iquadri (talk • contribs) 08:09, July 10, 2006 (UTC)

I really appreciate your offer, it was really nice. :) Sarah Ewart (Talk) 08:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Khatri

Hi there, I noticed you made some comments on the article's talkpage about the edit wars on the Bhumihar article. I'd just like to alert you to the fact that there's a similar issue over at the Khatri page. As you rightly state, pages like this affect the encyclopedia's credibility. Most of the articles on the Indian subcastes are pretty terrible, anyhow. They're overly long and full of rubbish. Oh well, just thought I'd let you know.

Deletion sans Discussion

Would you please, as an Admin clarify whether a summary deletion without any discussion is allowed? User:Pacecomputech has just done that. He has deleted two paras in Vivekananda Vidya Mandir and I have left in his talk page this note.--Apnavana 16:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My response. You may re-add the removed contents. Actually, wiki gives a lot of freedom to the editors, but the freedom should be used with care, and as per the policies of wikipedia. Anyone deviating from the policies, should remeber that editing wikipedia is a privilege and not a right]. This applies to me as well as to all. --Bhadani 14:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for Supporting my RfA!

Thank you for supporting my RfA, which passed by a margin of 54/6/1. I know this is a long time after my RfA closed, but a "thank you" is still due, no matter how tardy it is. The reasons why my thanks have been so delayed have been due to the FIFA World Cup, as well as other issues outside of Wikipedia I have had to put up with. Needless to say, I haven't had the time to hand-type each of these (no templates here!) as quickly as I would have liked.

However, I do have some questions regarding your support text. You said Do some of us are using 1FA and/or any other such standard to justify their oppose, whereas the real reasons and rationale may be known to them only. Strange are the ways of we the wikipedians! I'd just like some clarification on what that meant, as I was very perplexed by this comment. Due to the fact that you were the last one to support, you were the last one I thanked (:P), so sorry if you can't remember. And if you do, that's perfectly acceptable -- it has been about a month!

Sorry again for the tardy reply, and I thank you for your support. If you ever see me doing something I shouldn't as an admin (see for yourself: IanManka (talk • contribs • blocks • protects • deletions • moves)), please let me know! Ian Manka Talk to me! 08:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Castes and Tribes of the Punjab

Dear Sir, since you are one of the most respected Indian administrators on Wikipedia, I am asking your opinion on this festering dispute that has developed between myself and Satbir Singh since the past few days.

The facts of the matter are like this:

I created a template called Castes and Tribes of the Punjab with a view to studying the caste and tribal groups that exist in what was the ancient Punjab region (Punjab (Pakistan), Punjab (India), Haryana and Himachal Pradesh). My intention, unlike any Ibbetsons, Todds or Cunninghams was to study these groups from a purely anthropological perspective sans any controversy so that people visiting this portal would get to know about the huge mosaic that my province (I am a Punjabi) is.

I started with a few groups. But soon enough the groups began to increase. For the sake of brevity, I grouped them under Categories. As the template evolved, I learnt not to name any category speculatively.

The final categories were:

Brahmin groups.
Dalit groups.
Jat clans.
Khatris and other groups.
Rajput clans.
Shaikhs and other groups.
Tarkhans and other groups.
Others (groups to which i could not attribute any specific status).

In the last (Others), I also included groups such as Kamboj, Khasa, Ahir and Gujjar. However, Satbir Singh separated them and bunched them under a new category called "Surviving Ancient Kshatriya Tribes".

Since that day, a revert war has been on between the two of us. According to Satbir, these groups such as the Ahirs (the ancient Abhiras), the Gujjars (Gurjaras), the Khas (the Khasas), the Kamboj (Kambojas) and Yadav (Yadavas) are ancient Kshatriya tribes mentioned in a number of ancient Sanskrit texts.

My own personal opinion is that all this is true. However, some points must be noted:

The Varna System is a topic subject to a lot of controversy and dispute. I have been noticing this in recent weeks. Pages such as Khatri, Rajput, Kayastha and Bhumihar have been vandalised because many people don't agree with the Varna status of these groups.
If the Ahirs, the Gujjars, the Khasaa, the Kambojas and the Yadavas are Kshatriya groups, then so are the Rajputs, Jats, Khatris, Tarkhans et al. I did not create a category entitled "Kshatriya groups" in the first place because I knew I was treading on soft ground. All the above mentioned castes claim Kshatriya status. But we all know, how disputable these claims are.
The rigmarole that is the Varna System is known to us all. For example, the Jats, who in the Vedic and Mythological periods were workers should be placed in the Shudra Category under the Varna System. But many Jats clans consider themselves the equal and perhaps the superior of Rajputs as adhrents of Kshatriya Dharma. My own caste, the Khatris and related groups such as Aroras claim Kshatriya status. But we have seen on the Khatri page as to what became of that claim.
Ahirs, Gujjars and Yadavs are considered to be OBCs in most Indian states inspite of their being the descendants of ancient Abhiras, Gurjaras and Yadus. There is a controversy raging on the Yadav page presently if I am not wrong, on the status of the caste.

Taking all these points into consideration and being aware of the fact that there are users (say Sanjay Mohan and Holywarrior, who have caused great disputes on various caste pages, I proposed categories such as "Kambojs and related groups" (Kamboj, Kamboja, Kamboh and Khasa) and "Gujjars and realted groups" (Ahirs, Gujjars, Dhangars and Bakarwals). But Satbir Singh and another user named Sze cavalry01 objected to it. They returned to "Ancient Kshatriya Tribes". I did a little compromise by making it "Ancient Warrior Tribes", which I later realised would also be POV. Therefore, I changed it to just "Ancient Tribes" - A completely unspeculative term.

However, Satbir Singh does not agree. He calls it a "gross suppression of known historical facts", "a crime against history" and "a political agenda" and has termed me a "Vandal". I have put forward my points. But both of us are yet to agree.

I have fighting a revert war with him for almost a week now. Have a look at the template's history page and Satbir Singh's talk page to get a complete idea of the whole fracas.

This fight has become downright silly. I surely don't expect myself to spend my time, money and energy on such a silly matter. And I am sure neither does the other party.

Therefore, I urge you to have a look at the whole matter. Whatever is you opinion would be agreeable to me.

Regards. Rajatjghai 02:06, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is an "SOS". I have just finished another "bout" of a revert war with Satbir Singh. Please answer this post as soon as you can. Rajatjghai 03:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient India

your behaviour is becoming disruptive now; before you do more moves and copy-paste-moves, argue your position on talk and seek consensus. I see no reason to have an Ancient India article separate from Kingdoms of Ancient India, and I have explained my reasons in detail. If you are unhappy about this, present your arguments, or ask for peer review, but do not just move stuff around out of spite. dab (ᛏ) 18:26, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do believe that no amount of consensus can change a truth. I feel that you do not desire to have a separate page for Ancient India for extraneous reasons. I would, therefore, put up the page for deletion after restoring the contents removed by you. However, I shall support for Keep. In case, you find me disruptive, your behavior is equally disruptive and disturbing too. I request your cooperation to resolve the issue. --Bhadani 05:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mr.Bhadani I have been with the wiki for nearly 6 months now and apart from a few irritants-being blocked because of someone having the same ISP address-found it most informative.

An idea just occured to me and I should value your opinion as a senior here at the Wiki.I have made enquiries and it appears that in order to make a valid nomination for Nobel Peace Prize,one has to be either a professor of history or a professor of literature or a previous laureate.I believe that Wikipedia has brought the world together like no other project-knowledge based pooling of ideas to bring the world closer.After the Nobels for this year are announced,they would be soliciting nominations for next year-and I belive we should try and get Jim Wales nominated.I have already spoken to a Fellow of Royal Historical Society and he would be ready to nominate but I should appreciate your view.I also noticed that Wikipedia came for high praise from two Nobel Laureates on the BBC programme Nobel Minds-viz.Barry Marshall and Roy Glauber.You may write to me on my email address if you wish-venkatradhakrishnan2000@yahoo.com.au

It is really nice to listen from you, after a long long gap. I do appreciate your views. I shall be sending you an e-mail. I also regret that I could not do anything as regards creation of the stubs as suggested by you. Still, I do hope to create few stubs based on your feedback. Regards abd all the best. --Bhadani 06:23, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let us set the ball rolling for Noble Peace Prize for the President of Wikimedia Foundation.

It will be great if we can get that to happen. What do you think should be our strategy? — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 12:58, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. --Bhadani 13:09, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Mr.Bhadani

I already have got the assnt of a qualified nominator-a Fellow of teh Royal Historical Society.You would note that active legislators can nominate as well but given my deep rooted antipathy for the tribe of politicians,I would prefer to keep them away from the process.The nominations would not be accepted unttil this years prize is announced-late Se.So we still have time.But I would appreciate comments and suggestions and only then would I ask my qualified nominator.Cheers(Vr 05:57, 25 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Hello Mr.Bhadani

Thanks for your note.I look forward to hearing from you.It may also be interesting to have some othe Wikipedians comment on the subject.I also think it may be intersting to get a transcript of the Nobel minds programme on the BBC where Marshall and Glauber were fulsome in their praise of the Wikipedia.But shall await guidace from all of you.Regards(Vr 05:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

More on this. --Bhadani 14:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Bhadaniji, your views would be appreciated: User:Samir (The Scope)/Ambuj RFA. Thanks. -- Samir धर्म 07:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a bunch

...for your kind note regarding my admin promotion anniversary, dear Bhadani. :) Cheers, Sango 123 23:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hello Bhadaniji. It has been quite some time since I have visited your talk page. Hope all is well. Please take a look at this and take whatever action is necessary as there doesn't seem to be any admin at the moment responding to the situation. Thanks. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 14:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My response. --Bhadani 14:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ice-cream. But I think there is some misunderstanding. I was not talking about the Ozu ken@yahoo.com comment but the one I posted regarding User:Babuba which is more serious than this one. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 14:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like Srikeit has just banned the user. Thanks for taking the time anyways. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 14:36, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Srikeit is faster! --Bhadani 14:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Blocking of Babuba

Hi Bhadani, Warmest Greetings !

How are you ?

Well as you may know, I am here to ask you about the comment on Babuba's talk page, that you made. Why did you endorse the blocking ? And what did you mean when you said that "I know the meaning of both the names" and secondly, "the way this user has used this account." Kindly let me know. And by the way, Babub is known to make casteist remarks.

Anyways, bye for now. And have a really nice time.

--Anti-Casteism Activist 14:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not create accounts for such purpose. It is wastage of resources of wikipedia. Please continue with useful work. --Bhadani 15:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shoutings shall not affect me. Please behave properly. --Bhadani 15:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unification of German

The material exists: it's in German Empire. It would mostly be a matter of refactoring. Any interest in taking it on? It would probably start with proposing this on Talk:German Empire, making sure that you get something like agreement on how much should remain at German Empire, etc. - Jmabel | Talk 04:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information. --Bhadani 11:45, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anup Sinha

Dear Bhandani,

You recently deleted one of my recent articles on Anup Sinha while it was still under construction. Could you please tell me what was wrong with the article?

It did not meet WP:BIO. --Bhadani 12:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help with translations

I'm currently working on a script intended to create short articles on political parties on a variety of wikipedias simultaneously. However, in order for the technique to work I need help with translations to various languages. If you know any of the languages listed at User:Soman/Lang-Help , then please help by filling in the blanks. For example I need help with several Indian languages, including Hindi. Thanks, --Soman 12:50, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I am fine. Just got busy in some non wiki work. Hope you are doing fine too. I still do check my watchlist once in a day and manage a minor edit here and there. But I think wiki got too complicated and people more dispruptive lately.

I hope to get back to editing :) Jisha C J 18:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. More disruptive. But, true wikipedians shall fight back. --Bhadani 13:48, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
