3a:

  • The article is very short; compare to Salt March. I think more information about the march and its place in Indian history could be added.
    • The march is not as significant as the one led by Gandhi. I'm sure many of the Tamils would not have come across this one. Most of the sources, including Rajaji's biography document only a little about this march. I'll try to do some more research and expand the article.

      • I agree with your point here. I myself referred a couple of sources here and there, mainly by Bipan Chandra. I think we can find something more in any RS on Tamil Nadu freedom struggle if it's available, although I couldn't find one. Besides that, I'm glad to see your work here. Please update me when you have looked up few more sources. --Seabuckthorn  15:34, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The copy-edit helped improve the prose a lot. I'm putting the article on hold. All the best! --Seabuckthorn  18:20, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Seabuckthorn: I'm taking a short wiki-break for five days. However, there are chances that I edit intermittently. So requesting you to hold the nomination until the 7th day. Vensatry (Ping me) 11:38, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I feel that this article is very thorough. I must compliment you at your hardwork overall and particularly in this article. I don't think it would be fair to hold the article for this issue (3a issue). I have been trying to obtain a book related to this Google Book - "The Press in Tamil Nadu and the Struggle for Freedom", but no luck. I think the article has already passed the GA goalpost and you must continue improving it to take it to FA. All the best!

So I'm passing the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn  12:39, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Seabuckthorn, so kind of you! I'll try to find more on the "aftereffects" and expand further. Vensatry (Ping me) 13:54, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
