Yagbo dynasty[edit]

An IP editor added some reasonable looking content on the Brogpa era, but he is also repeatedly deleting the material on Yagbo dynasty [1][2]. Inviting them here to explain what the problem is. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:32, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

POV edits[edit]

I have removed this passage that has been added sometime after May 2021.

Local Balti residents on Pakistani side claimed that commander in charge during the fight in Turtuk was Major Bashir, a Bengali major of Pakistan Army who was no longer loyal to Pakistan and instead he defended Indian interests because at the time Bengalis were fighting against Pakistan for freedom in the Eastern Sector and Indian government was supporting them.^[1]
Thang,Tyakshi small villages next to Turtuk sector are surrounded by high mountains peaks which are all under Pakistan Army control and Indian Army being deployed on lower heights this gives advantage to Pakistan as Pakistani troops can disrupt the Indian activities in the village but Pakistan has shown no interest in regaining the village.^[1]

The Pakistani Prime Minister Bhutto negotiated the return of villages in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Lahore sector but not ours."

The editor has apparently copied the citation from my passage in the Chorbat Valley, which said:

After the 1971 war, India and Pakistan reached the Simla Agreement, whereby the ceasefire line of the war became the new Line of Control, permanently dividing Chorbat between India and Pakistan. The Baltis allege that the Pakistani prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto did not care about the Balti villages captured by India and neglected to negotiate their return.^[1]

Notice what the citation actually says, and what the editor has attributed to it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 00:56, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
