easy

many people of the not too intelligent variety tried to downplay the affair by arguing totally beside the point that the ban didn't matter much, since hardly any Indian can read Rushdie's English.


removing passages like this does not qualify as vandalism, not in my book. you did not give any reasons for your changes. maybe you can explain a little what you want to say on the article's talk page... please don't threaten so quickly and sign your comments--trueblood 18:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

your style was hardly neutral, Nidhishsinghal. If you are quoting someone, provide your source before complaining that you are reverted. Please see WP:NPOV. dab (ᛏ) 18:04, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

yep, gimme the link, the quote would be interesting, i think the article already said, that rushdie apologized at some point. maybe somebody took that off. i have a look.--trueblood 18:22, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

After the death of Khomeini in 1989, Rushdie published an essay in 1990, In Good Faith, to appease his critics and issued an apology in which he seems to have reaffirmed his respect for Islam. However, Iranian clerics did not retract the fatwa..

this passage is in the satanic verses article, which has a more extensive timeline of the controversy. check out the article, is that enough?--trueblood 18:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

please help if you can

i read ,amazingly if true, that sunderbans are not natural forestlands, but manmade ones. and most likely to be implanted by britishers during their colonial rule. as a proof of it, it is known that the trees in sunderbans are in a straight line contrary to the principles of nature where they should have been in random order as seen on all the natural jungles. if anyone can vindicate or reprove it by via authetic source i shall be grateful to him email: nidhishsinghal123@yahoo.com --nidhishsinghal

re: seeking information

Hi Nidhish, welcome aboard. There are roughly about 700 admins in English Misplaced Pages and around 15 Indian Wikiadmins per Category:Indian administrators. Some Indian admins could've been missed out and some people of Indian origin might not be listed there. You can get more info by asking here.

Regarding info about South Indian peoples, you could ask any question by sending me an email. I'll try to give as much info as I can. And I'm not easily offended, so feel free to ask anything. I'll reserve my right not to answer some questions, if necessary. :) -- Sundar 07:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
