Vithoba[edit]

Hi Anand, I like some of your edits. But the addition to Vithoba is wrong in grammer. It should be full sentence. "Varkari and Bhakti spiritual movements in these states, and a large amount..." is not a full sentence. It should be "Vithoba was a major focus of the Bhakti and Varkari movements in these states." That is a full sentence and very clear.

Now, regarding 'incarnation' and 'manifestation'. The word 'incarnation' means 'avatar', like Rama/Krishna, who were born and grew up on earth. 'Manifestation' means 'sakshatkar' or 'swaroop' which is where God gives darshan to the devotee (like Vithoba appeared before Pundalik). I am sure you agree with all this. Please edit and expand the article to make it nice. Regards, ImpuMozhi 00:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indian Occupied Kashmir[edit]

You have prod'd this article, so you don't also have to put it up for AfD as well. You accidently added the AfD debate on top of another AfD debate instead of making a separate AfD page for the deletion of Indian Occupied Kashmir. DarthVad e r 08:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anand, you are being very unreasonable. If you feel the article has common content, add a merge suggestion, which can be discussed. Your dislike of the page (as can be seen through the application of speedy, npov, prod, redirect tags one by one) is not a sufficient reason of making this into a redirect. You should discuss the arguments before blanking the article. Continuous blanking without showing a reason amounts to vandalism. I hope you'd press ahead with your arguments in the talk page. Thanks. --Ragib 07:08, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was clear, but maybe not. I will discuss it on that articles talk page and merge once we reach a consensus. Anand Arvind 07:12, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Terrorism in Kashmir[edit]

I had to revert a bunch of stuff on the Terrorism in Kashmir article and your most recent edit got caught up in it. I would have readded it for you, but you didn't leave a comment justifying the change and it looks like you changed the meaning pretty significantly without saying why. I am too ignorant of the details to object to it. I just thought that if it is readded, it should be attributed to you so you can rebut any criticism. —BozoTheScary 22:29, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for discussing the issue with the people on said articles talk page. I fail to see how common sense or even the facts can justify terrorizing Indian civilians. Keep up the good work.Bakaman _Bakatalk 18:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
