There is a misunderstanding here. We have no prejudice against the many fine people of India; I'm proud to say I've created or improved several articles on Indian topics myself, both here and on the Esperanto Wikipedia. The problem is that while we accept citations from prominent publications such as ''Business India'', for reasons of |verifiability, we '''cannot''' citations from undated purported quotes from such publications ''which are hosted on the subject's company's own website''. Why? Because using modern software, it would be simple for me to create a purported article like that on my personal website, claiming that ''I'' had founded crores of important companies and enriched every dalit in Chattisgarh with my market brilliance! In this era of Bernard Madoff and the like, we must be vigilant about what could be falsified "clippings" (we've had that happen before
