[edit] Himachal map

I have added a rather crude looking map but this is all I had... Couldnt pick anything from any site due to all the restrictions that Wikipedia imposes. Can somebody put a better map please. ramit 18:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] External links

In keeping with Wikipedia policy, I have removed commercial links. ramit 18:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] References

The two books mentioned in the references section are not really referring to anything. So I am moving them to the talk page for a discussion on where they should be put, if anywhere at all. ramit 18:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Verma, V. 1996. Gaddis of Dhauladhar: A Transhumant Tribe of the Himalayas. Indus Publishing Co., New Delhi.
  • Handa, O. C. 1987. Buddhist Monasteries in Himachel Pradesh. Indus Publishing Co., New Delhi. ISBN 81-85182-03-5.


[edit] External links

I am putting external links here which seem to contain useful info about Himachal and may provide good source of information. Other editors are welcome to have a look at these. We can put these on the mainpage if they actually do contain good verifiable info. Lost 06:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transport

I have added information on transport on the basis of the Himachal Pradesh Development Report published by the Planning Commission. RMehra 05:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Culture

The entire section on culture appears to have been copied verbatim from the webpage: [[1]]. I believe, this needs to be looked into. RMehra 08:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thats right... Lot of formatting/ rewording to be done. I am actually doing some more digging on the Culture of Himachal Pradesh article. You may like to refer to that one... Lost 08:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Sure. I will look into it. I am looking into the geography section these days. RMehra 11:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transport and Demographics

Just added some more meat to the Transport and Demographics sections. RMehra 06:55, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added a photo to transport section

I added a picture of mine of a HPRTC bus to the transport section. This photo was taken in August 2000 on the way to the Kalichakra outside of Ki.

[edit] I'll make himachal pradesh and related topics a feature

I hereby take the responsibilty to make himachal pradesh and related topics a feature. Sushant gupta 11:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How to change reference in Google Earth?

I have noticed that referecens to many places in the Google Earth (sorry! i don't know the exact terminology) are at wrong location (e.g. Himachal Pradesh is being shown insdie Haryana and Haryana is being shown inside Chandigarh). Although I have coorected coordinates of Himachal Pradesh in Wikipedia, the reference is still shown inside Haryana. If anyone can please tell me the exact proceudre for the same.

Hi, you can ask User:Nichalp on his talk page as he is the one who created the India locator map — Lost(talk) 12:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
