Salvageable and relevant. Suggest getting Researcher to look at it. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 15:34, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
There used to be a Wikipedia guideline whose shortcut said it all. I suggest taking its advice. This article is perfectly on-mission, just needs a proper write-up. Totnesmartin (talk) 09:04, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Which Gandhi?[edit]

The article accuses these people of having links to people who "killed Gandhi." There've been several Gandhis assassinated. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 22:09, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Mohandas Karamchand Ghandi. The original, most famous Gandhi. Wasn’t it obvious enough?𝗦𝗾𝗿𝘁-𝟭 talk stalk 13:24, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Cosmetic Surgery[edit]

Cosmetic Surgery is generally agreed to have taken place in India (basic nasal, dental, reconstructive, etc.). What's the point in putting that in quotes? (Qwed117, 8:42 PM 5/5/15) — Unsigned, by: 96.225.89.127 / talk / contribs (signed by bot) 00:42, 06 May 2015 (UTC)

Hmm. You are definitely right. Cosmetic surgery first originated in India. 𝗦𝗾𝗿𝘁-𝟭 talk stalk 13:26, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
Sushruta, a guy with a long white beard (which all gurus and babas in India must have) had constructed the methodology behind surgery, and the modern techniques don’t seem to divert too far away from those. But stated that this science was used to cut an elephant’s head to fucking put it on a man’s head and making the abomination fucking work is dumb. So no removing them. https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/gk-current-affairs/story/sushruta-works-indian-physician-medicine-plastic-surgery-rhinoplasty-nose-job-1559599-2019-07-01

How Ancient Indian Cosmology Helped Launch ISRO’s Chandrayaan-2[edit]

It was recently learned that a Vedic mathematician, Swami Nischalananda Saraswati Puri Shankaracharya of Govardhana Matha, helped the ISRO scientists. He used data from ancient Indian cosmology to clear some doubts of the ISRO scientists. “As per the Bhishma Parva or the Book of Bhishma, the sixth books in the epic Mahabharata, the diameter of the Moon is 11,000 yojana (1 yojana = approx 12.2 km), and its circumference is 33,000 yojana.” the Shankaracharya told DNA India. The scientists wanted to incorporate some of these calculations into the mission.

removing a lot of content...[edit]

some justifications for my gigantic huge major edit:

  1. This article does not deserve a Bronze.
  2. BJP members say insane shit *every single day*. It's a crazy country. We aren't going to list everything wacky said by any single person who could be said to be affiliated with the BJP, RSS or VHP (obviously). Another problem this creates is that it gets into nitpicking; it only shows "see? These... 4 members of the BJP are really stupid and worship Cows and all, so we are now going to generalise over the entire BJP using these quotes." Being stupid doesn't damage the country directly. If BJP has successfully given brain damage to India's populace, we need to show surveys of how attitudes have changed after BJP's arrival, how violence and extremism has become normalised using statistics, and how they did it.
  3. "What they do" is just an extension of the above, tbh. There is far worse, far serious, far more unserious stuff we need to talk about.

I think we can still litter the funny quotes and things around the article, to make it slightly more bearable to read; you can't just have the entire article be like :depression:, you need to put some :lmao: in.

I will try shifting some of the stuff from the Narendra Modi article to here. Then, I think it will be a worthy contender for Bronze. Besides, a lot of the stuff I wrote about in the Modi section actually applies to the entire BJP, so it deserves to be here.𝗦𝗾𝗿𝘁-𝟭 talk stalk 07:44, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
