[edit] Hindu Population Incorrect

According to the official census of India (http://www.censusindia.net/religiondata/), the Hindu proportion of Haryana is 88% Hindu, 5.8% Muslim, and 5.5% Sikh. This is from an actual source. I would like to see if others agree before I make the change. I think for all Indian articles, when reporting religious demographics, we should use the Census of India rather than unofficial sources. -amitroy5

[edit] Mythology?

Mythological stories are sold as historical deeds in the history chapter! What is this to be? Hindu-belief is one thing, but here you should stick to facts not fiction.--84.179.86.240 06:56, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vast majority of the ethnic Hindu population?

I removed this statement because it doesn't make any sense. I have no idea what idea it was trying to convey. If someone does know, then I suggest a rewrite to clarify. Acsenray 14:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Today, Haryana has the vast majority of the ethnic Hindu population.

It means that when the original Punjab split into two, Haryana retained the majority (65% ish I think) of the Hindu population. It needs clarification though. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 14:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template for Collaboration

Great to see my home state as COTW! The template from Wikiproject Indian States should be helpful in expanding the articles. I will see if I can find some photographs in my collection. --Longhairandabeard 08:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pics

Found one that may be useful:

This is the second medical college of Haryana, although it is not recognized yet by the Medical Council of India.

Is this really the flag of Haryana as claimed in the picture's description? --Longhairandabeard 08:48, 1 August 2006 (UTC) I would seriously doubt that. --Soman 10:07, 1 August 2006 (UTC) Found some more.. --Longhairandabeard 04:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Punjabi

Is Punjabi the second official language of Haryana like it is in Delhi? I'm not so sure and I cannot find information on this online. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 10:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Yup it is, since 2004.. Found it in good ol' Tribune. [1] --Longhairandabeard 15:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
