[edit] Hi

Welcome. There are a couple of pages which contain your name. Go to the article about you (the page will be blank) and then click 'What links here' on the left of that page. Tintin (talk) 11:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indian Rebellion of 1857

I don't think I reverted any of your changes Suresh - just those by the anonymous user with the caste fixation. Sikandarji 10:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your changing the name of Ishwari ""Pandey/Prasad"

Almost all the literature that I know refers to "Ishwari Pandey" and to the fact that the mutineers were for that reason collectively referred to as "Pandies". You can read e.g. "The Great Mutiny" by Malleson (Rupa, 2005, Delhi), who was stationed at that time at Calcutta. You can also have a look at: http://www.chapatimystery.com/archives/univercity/the_trial_of_mangal_pandey_i.html http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050911/asp/calcutta/story_5223117.asp

If I am not seriously mistaken, you can also consult Tapti Roy's "Politics of a popular uprising: Bundelkhand in 1857". Anyway, I request you not to delete information just arbitrarily. If you go through the Talk page you will see that I have done a lot of neutral, editing work on that page. So please treat others also as if they can be neutral. If you have any doubts, you could surely put them on the Talk page, especially after my reverting the name back to Pandey. --Raj 17:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi - no offense intended but so far I have seen very few books indeed that say Ishwari Pandey, and what mention I've seen has mostly been on blogs. Do you have a cite from something like Kaye & Malleson, or (something that I saw in bookshops when "The Rising" was released, but can't find in my collection right now) the transcript of Mangal Pandey's interrogation and trial [by a jury that appeared to consist entirely of his peers, indian soldiers from the regiment, as it happens].

[edit] Quizzing in India

Pl. sign in on talkpages using ~~~~, else it becomes difficult to know who is saying what. My reversions were to do with the undeletion of the cats etc. as almost all the edits reverted were done by anons whose actions did not appear to be in good faith. Feel free to undo my revert, but do retain the cats. --Gurubrahma 07:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question on notability

Do you know if Shine.Ravindra (which redirects to User:Shineravindra now) is a person of any significance. The page has all the hallmarks of a vanity page created by a non-entity, but as it says something about him being "a technical authority of Internet technologies and the Linux User group administrator of Dubai", I thought you would know if he is notable. Tintin (talk) 09:57, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

never heard of him, sorry. Notable - i havent stuck my userinfo into a wikipedia page yet and i guess i'm a bit notable. As for attending oecd organized meetings - they do a whole lot of meetings, and invite many attendees, and even more speakers. Without knowing which meeting where .. dunno, sorry. Anyway the guy sounds like a legend in his own mind, and its a self edit, which wikipedia doesnt really like I guess?
Thank you. Tintin (talk) 14:13, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tipu Sultan

I'll try - but you know how easily these things get out of hand. Mind you, once they see I'm British perhaps both sides will settle their differences and turn on me! I have a few books on Tipu: Mohibbul Hasan's Tipu Sultan (originally published in 1951 but still in print as it is a classic account). Hasan worked at the University of Calcutta, Aligarh and was the first Professor of History at Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi: he also published an edition of a Persian account of Tipu Sultan's embassy to Constantinople (The Waqai-i Manazil-i Rum) and his work is widely respected. I also have a copy of State and Diplomacy under Tipu Sultan, a book of essays edited by Irfan Habib, which I think is referred to somewhere on the page but not properly cited. I will do what I can with these. Sikandarji 13:25, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
