Personal view of an anonymous[edit]

This Martand temple has the typical Aryan structure as was present in Aryan Kashmir. Politicaly motivated people are trying to make it Greek influenced, however, there is no Greek or Macedonian link and neither ever ventured into Kashmir. The Kashmiri language is related to Sanskrit. An-Ant-Nag (equals Un-Ending-Spring). Ant in Sanskrit, And in Kashmiri equates to English end.

i would agree some foreign paid plants in india are trying to change the history of india so that it benefits foreign elements, but these bunch of fools can not achieve this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.146.243.96 (talk) 04:21, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Islamabad[edit]

People keep deleting the name "Islamabad", which is the name used by Kashmiri Muslims. There are tons of sources for it. [1] and the etymology section explains what is going on. If anybody deletes the name again, you will have a price to pay. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:33, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad government changed the name of the district to Anantnag district, not the name of the town. As far as we know, the town is still called by both the names. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:55, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lal chowk[edit]

Jawaharlal Nehru raised flag in Srinagar Lal chowk But not in anantnag's Lal chowk Muntazir Farooq (talk) 19:17, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I have deleted it because it only had a tourist web site for its source. Please feel free to delete such stuff in future (and state that the source is unreliable). -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:26, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 12 May 2021[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please correct the name of the place. It’s wrongfully typed as Islamabad. That is an attempt from some groups to further their agenda. Here is the official website of Govt of India website that talks about the official name of the district.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Kautilya3 (talk) 06:19, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at The Changing Language Roles and Linguistic Identities of the Kashmiri Speech page 57 it says "Kashmiri Muslims called it Islamabad, whereas Hindus and Sikhs called it Anantnag....Public transport vehicles going to Anantnag from various districts use Urdu signboards displaying Islamabad. However, following the separatist movement, the Indian security forces have not allowed the use of the word 'Islamabad' (in written or spoken form). The masses and the public transporters resisted using Anantnag; instead they used 'Khanabal', which the name of a small town near Anantag." This source is cited in the lead for Islamabad being another name for Anantnag.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:17, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please also note that Anantnag is an article about the town, whereas Anantnag district is an article about the district.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:30, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
