[edit] Reply to Jat Historian

Thank you for your kind note informing me of all the changes you are making to the Jat people page - and it is good to hear from you again! Yes, I am thrilled with the many improvements to the page and, especially, the removal of racist comments and the more extreme and fanciful sections. It also reads much better now - largely thanks to you.

I have tried to refrain from doing much editing myself (other than a few small grammar corrections and the like) because I have been worried about stirring up the previous unhelpful arguments - but I have been keeping note of the improvements. Anyway, I am not a Jat nor even a Punjabi, and it is far better done by someone who is.

I still think the whole article needs much more shortening and tightening up but, yes, I am in full agreement with removing the tags at the beginning of the article (though some of the ones still heading various sections should, I believe, be retained until the issues are satisfactorily dealt with).

You refer again to my travels in the Punjab. I am not sure of how much interest they will be - I never really spent that much time there - and I never tried to learn the language as it was so easy to get around with just English and a smattering of Hindi and people were so unfailingly helpful and kind to me. I was usually travelling from one place to another, although I did spend a few weeks in Ludhiana when my wife was very sick and had to undergo major surgery at "Miss Brown's Hospital" (in 1980) and I have spent 2 or 3 weeks altogether in Amritsar and have stayed several times in Patankot.

I would like to thank you for taking on this difficult and sensitive job - I am so relieved to see it all progressing so well. I hope when you are done with this page you can find the time to do some work on other, related pages as well (such as the Origin of Jat people page). Congratulations, and many thanks, and all best wishes for 2008. As someone said to me yesterday: "May your taxes be small and your joys great!" Cheers, John Hill (talk) 23:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
