Talk:Indian nationality law

message: Hi, You need some proof that you can get an Indian passport if you already have one from another country. I doubt that is possible. Yann (talk) 22:43, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Having multiple nationalities is not the same as having multiple passports. Nevertheless, it is possible, if the Indian passport was applied first. The passport manual cites the case of Indian children born in Mexico. If you are born overseas, one has to choose nationality at 18. If born in India to parents from two different countries for eg, you get to keep dual citizenship for life since it was automatic and not acquired. That is the current law.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.95.8.170 (talk) 01:26, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Holding multiple nationalities 

message: Should there be a separate section for dual citizenship? Most people seem to assume that dual citizenship is not allowed. And the section I added was removed repeatedly. solomonsunder 06:09, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This is already covered under the acquisition and loss section. That assumption is generally correct since Indians born with another nationality cannot retain that nationality past the age of 18, and any Indian citizen of any age would automatically lose that status on their naturalisation elsewhere. Horserice (talk) 16:31, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

text: This assumption is not generally known and is marked specifically as dual citizenship by the government. Also, there are court cases where it has not been decided yet, if children born in India with 2 nationalities will actually loose it all. Same with the case of residents from Goa who have Portuguese citizenship through acquisition of territory and have court cases going on since the individuals never "acquired" another citizenship so to say. Hence it is better to create a new section and write the relevant information there in my opinion. solomonsunder 20:10, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Pictures like these add colour to the article and make it less dull and boring. and since it doesn't take space in wikipedia to have these images in the article, than i am bringing them back.

Please do not re-add them unless and until you can provide a reliable source stating the the person who made the proposal stated in this article has also proposed the flag and typography in these images.  I strongly suspect that you cannot do so.

Talk:Earl of Linlithgow

message: The man who carried the title of Lord Livingston was known as "Lord Livingston of Callendar" The sources on the internet are confused about when the title Earl of Callendar was granted and to which Lord Livingston.
Some sources say the title was created at the same time as that of the Earl of Linlithgow, others that it was granted to the 2nd Earl of Linlithgow in 1641 by Charles I. So either the titles run concurrently or they are staggared by one:
2nd Earl of Linlighgow, 1st Earl of Callendar
3rd Earl of Linlithgow, 2nd Earl of Callendar
4nd Earl of linlithgow, 3rd Earl of Callendar
5th Earl of Linlithgow, 4th Earl of Callendar (forfeit 1716)
Or it is possible that the title went to the younger son of Alexander Livingstone, 2nd Earl of Linlithgow. See this source Alexander Livingstone, 2nd Earl of Linlithgow (b. before 1594, d. from 11 June 1648 to 10 December 1648)  and Alexander Livingston, 2nd Earl of Callendar (b. before 1648, d. August 1685). This internet site claims a source of  "Mosley, Charles, editor. Burke's Peerage and Baronetage, 106th edition, 2 volumes. Crans, Switzerland: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 1999." if it is correct the the dates on this article are suspect. It also gives these dates grandfather: Alexander Livingstone, 1st Earl of Linlithgow (b. b 1569 d. 24 Dec 1621)
Another source states "Alexander Livingstone, 3rd Earl of Callendar, d. ... Dec. 1692"
So if someone could sort out who and what the Callendar earldom is I would appreciate it because some refrences to the English Civil War talk about the "Earl of Callendar" without naming who it is and I would like to put in the correct link :-) ---Philip Baird Shearer 10:37, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Sydyk

message: From the current page:
"Some writers have speculated about a connection between Zedek and the planet Jupiter; however, such speculation is not based on any extant archeological evidence."
It's obvious that Tzedek is a reference to the planet Jupiter, and not just speculation.
Do a Google search using the following:
http://www.google.com/search?q=tzedek+jupiter+jewish+astrology
You can see that Jewish astrologers still use Tzedek for the name of Jupiter, so
I don't see why it should be considered mere speculation.
— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.94.3.227 (talk) 11:43, 2005 May 25 (UTC)
:Well, now it says "such speculation is not based on any extant archaeological evidence, but rather on the fact that current Jewish astrologers use the name Tzedek when referring to the planet Jupiter." Asside from the awkward phrasing, this makes it sound even shakier. I'm pretty sure the use of Tzedek as the name of the planet Jupiter goes back much farther than "current astrologers." Really we shoudl be looking for the earliest attested use, not the current use. --Iustinus 04:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also saw a problem with that sentence which is why I visited this talk page. Zedek and Jupiter are connected. The question is, how far back. I'm betting quite a ways back. Lisa the Sociopath 23:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Persian/Avestan Ahriman and Zahhuk, (with the twin serpents in his shoulders), got re-worked as Abraham and Isaac. But, Vedic Azi Dahaka already was the three-headed serpent in Hindu religion. In Mesopotamian myth, Tammuz and Gishzida (Lord Of The Vine) served a similar function for Uan Adapa (Adamu), he symbolizing Winter (water, fisherman), and they the Spring (grain harvest, shepherd) and Summer (wine harvest) respectively. Anu, Lord of Heaven symbolized the final (anointing) olive harvest. Uan, like Enkidu, was served bread, wine, and had his body oiled. It is a seasonal allegory. Sedek the righteous is the upright, the earth's axis projected across the solstices, the highest (Itzhak, saved by the ram in the thicket) and lowest points of the sun (birth of the solar king). 2601:601:510:C03:8885:3A07:1BAA:1F0B (talk) 01:18, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Zedek and Jupiter 

message: The root ṣ-d-q and modern Hebrew tzedek are closer to English "righteousness" than to English "justice" - the gerund form tzedekah (literally "being righteous") is the Hebrew word for charity.

message: The section on "ethnic problems" has a single introductory sentence. "Tamilians faced many ethinic problems." In my opinion, that sentence isn't needed, since it merely restates the header. Besides this, the sentence has a spelling error, it's incorrectly in the past tense, and it's phrased in a misleading way, IMHO. So I removed it. Not a big deal. 
Rrjanbiah, you then reverted this change, calling it "vandalism". Please do not call other users' edits "vandalism" just because you disagree. Reverting things in this way, without discussion, is a good way to start edit wars, which are bad for Wikipedia. I'm going to remove the sentence for the reasons stated above. If you disagree, please say why here instead of reverting. Quadell (talk) 15:25, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Ethinic Problems

message: I might be biased. But, I have few points to make about the recent edits.
In this article, I have added some/many sections sometimes ago, but didn't/couldn't improve it.
When I added the images, my idea is to give the quick overview about "Who are Tamilians" and "How the Tamilians will look", etc to the *foreigners*. That's why I added the images of *very well known* people. I could have added Velupillai Prabhakaran, but didn't have his image. But, the recent edit seems to deteriorate that. There is also a separate page to list the famous/all Tamilians.
Also, I don't agree with the characteristics that was listed in *core culture* section. I'm yet to come across such characterisation of ancient Tamilians. It is hard to accept that Tamilians were "sectarians" and or "success/fame oriented". 
These are the reasons for my commenting out of the texts. If you have any good reasons, feel free to revert or improve. --Rrjanbiah 19:27, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talk:River Crake

message: To those (like myself) that don't know the ins and outs of the Real Lancashire movement, the article seemed to imply that the historical county of Lancashire was the administrative county of Cumbria. I put Cumbria first as the location, as political geography tends to come before cultural and historical. I added the historic location at the end of the paragraph, provocatively using the past tense as I believe the significance of historic counties is diminishing, inspite of the Royal Mail.
:The historic county still exists. As with all traditional/historic counties it was not abolished in 1974, so the use of the past tense is wrong. As it stood, the article stated the correct position; where is the Crake? It's in the historic county of Lancashire and the administrative county of Cumbria. Administrative areas are subject to change. Indeed, it is quite possible that Cumbria will be abolished as an administrative entity in the future. The historic counties are, however, fixed. Arcturus 18:28, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with all you say. I'll change the was to is. I was being provocative. The original wording, read by someone with some knowledge of historic counties (I live in Leicestershire which included then didn't include Rutland, my father was born in Cumberland), seemed to say the historic county of Lancashire was the administrative county of Cumbria, by the placing of one after the other in brackets. I also insist current political geography should come first inspite of it changing with time. An atlas that gives Yugoslavia is obsolete. The historic counties were once also political entities. They should be given, as they are still current entities, but after the political.

:Apparantly, by firing unguided rockets at it, according to the movie (which is actually how jet interceptors were designed to take down other planes in the late 50's, using a special radar-assisted targeting computer to lead the shot).  More likely, the helicoptor would use any Stinger SAM missiles it might be carrying to defend itself against the jet.  Still, unless the helo pilot found a very good place to hide until the jet had zipped past, it's in a somewhat untenable position against a jet fighter, which not only has dedicated air-to-air weapons systems, but is much much faster.--Raguleader 05:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
