@Yashthepunisher:, you have removed a whole bunch of book reviews/debates about the book claiming they are "non-RS, non-accessible or non-related refs". Can you explain how you came to this judgement? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:39, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the 'whole bunch of book reviews' are mentioned in the 'Reception' section, they are better in prose form. Websites like northeastreview.com, Gateway House are dubious sources while the articles of 'Economic and Political Weekly' are only readable when you subscribe. I wonder how a non-accesible link will help the readers. Yashthepunisher (talk) 19:30, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to thank you for expanding the article, but your write-up nowhere gets to the heart of why this book is controversial and what the whole debate is about.
Please see WP:Further reading and tell me where it says that the sources listed there should be "accessible" (whatever that means). How will it help the readers, is a good argument, but you have some model of "readers" which seems private to you and nowhere reflected in the Wikipedia policies. See also WP:PAYWALL.
I have no idea what the Gateway House is, but Nandini Krishnan is a well-known writer and Dilip Simeon is a historian with plenty of peer-reviewed publications. That is quite independent of where their reviews appeared.
If you are not actually WP:CENSORing, then you appear to be throwing your weight around and expecting people to obey your diktats. That is not how Wikipedia works. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:53, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for letting me know how wikipedia works, I didn't know that for the past four years that I have spent here. If you feel like those sources should be listed in the further reading section, then go ahead. I'm done with this. Yashthepunisher (talk) 06:10, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am more inclined to view your efforts as a form of POV pushing; at any case, will be developing this article. ∯WBGconverse 13:13, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
