[edit]

Congress and League;

  1. Pls explain the separate electorate for muslims in India.
  2. 1937 elections and percentage votings need to be further explained. --CarTick 13:13, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

C. Rajagopalachari's role;

  1. He considered that in a likely scenario of Japanese invasion India would need the support from the British and hence required the Congress to negotiate with the League i cant follow this.

It is a good effort, has a great theme and has the potential to be a good article some time. In general, it needs some basic copy editing and grammer. The prose is hard to follow in some places as, i believe, it lacks the logical flow. I am not able to make the corrections myself as I havent read much about it myself. --CarTick 13:38, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input. I understand that it would take a lot of effort to fix a very complicated issue without POV of any sort. This is the reason why this had been sitting in my Sandbox for a long time. What makes it interesting for me is that no one agreed on this formula when it was proposed. But eventually in a few year after so much of bloodshed what resulted was similar to the outcome anticipated of this proposal. I'm glad that at least it is now here for anyone to edit and improve rather than sitting my sandbox for eternity. Cheers Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 13:49, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
i am glad you started the article. you can nominate it for DYK for sure to start with. well, you are right, Rajaji's foresight is impressive. if this can be added to the article lead with sufficient citations, will make the article even more interesting. --CarTick 15:19, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The League considered that the Muslims and Hindus of British India made a two separate nation and hence the Muslims had the right to secede from the Indian Union. I still think this is an awkward formulation. same in the parent article as well. --CarTick 23:13, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]


notice the gap between the two sentences and how the first sentence leaps to the second one. --CarTick 23:40, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah spot on. I will sort that out asap. Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 11:54, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclopaedia of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh

[edit]

It has been discovered that this book:

  • Gupta, Om. Encyclopaedia of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Gyan Publishing House, 2006. ISBN 8182053897, 9788182053892.

Contains significant amounts of material plagiarized from Wikipedia articles. (Some other books from the same publisher also have this problem). There is no practical way of determining which material came from Wikipedia, and which came from other sources. Further, widespread plagiarism is an indication of poor scholarship. For those reasons, and according to Wikipedia policy, WP:CIRCULAR, I will be deleting all citations to the book. However I will not delete the material that cites it, as there's no indication that the material is inaccurate. For more background, see WP:RSN#Circular references: Gyan Publishing and ISHA Books, or the archive after it goes there.   Will Beback  talk  00:07, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wolpert, Agrawal, and Jayapalan

[edit]

There are short footnotes for Wolpert, Agrawal, and Jayapalan but there are no sources for them. If you are a subject-matter expert, please take a look. Perhaps you can repair the citations. —¿philoserf? (talk) 02:12, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
