message: Hi, please check Wikipedia:Bounty Board - 15$ would be donated to Wikimedia trust if Akbar is brought to FA status; it is also one of the candidates for WP:INCOTW - so, please vote there as well asap. Also, some one may want to check the history of Jodhabai. --Gurubrahma 17:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep. I think we should work on it. Should we have a COTW to organize our efforts. We also have to work on Lothal to get it featured. I also wanted to propose that we start the article  Linguistic history of India. It can cover history from Indus Valley through Vedic and Classical Sanskrit, Pali, Prakrits, Apabhramshas, to modern Indian languages. What do you think? deeptrivia (talk) 03:49, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

But I need help on its organization, since there are many articles on Indian languages with history sections spread out - and there are so many that I'm at a loss on how to organize a mother article on linguistic history.

message: Please consider adding Mohenjo-daro to this Wikiproject. Also, I would like to see its name in IPA as well as local language because of the high probability that it would be miss-pronounced. As far as I know, it is pronounced: मोएनजोदडो and not मोहेनजोदारो (which unfortunately was the way it was pronounced by our school teacher).
Also, I would like to contribute to this project, but I have limited resources. If you think there's any way I can contribute to it, please let me know. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 05:52, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Hopefully I will be able to complete creating all the relvant articles soon. I'd like to request you to review the artcles and pass on comments to me. I welcome any suggestion to improve the quality of these.

message: I have been having great problems from someone named Satbir Singh who is bent upon proving that chandragupta maurya was iranian or punjabi on the article on him.  The entire page has gone to hell with a whole essay on this filled with bogus citations and analysis on his part.  Any changes that I make he simply reverts them and he refuse to take part in the talk page.  I dont know how the hell to get through him or what to do.  Is anyone more experienced that can help with this matter?  (Blacksun 03:52, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I propose to merge the Chola Empire article with the more extensive Chola article.
My reasons are as follows:
# The Chola article is more coplete with information on the political as well as the cultural impact of the Cholas. It has sub articles on Chola Art, the various periods of the Chola history such as Early Cholas, Medieval Cholas etc.
# The associated bio pages on the Chola rulers are nearing completion.
# The Chola Empire article has unsupported information such as Rajendra Chola defeating Mahmud of Gazhni.
# The Chola Empire article in my opinion does not have any additional information than the Chola article
I will be merging and redirecting the Chola Empire article to Chola if I don't hear any comments regarding the need to maintain both.

message: I started the article on Indian martial arts and it's been encountering problems. I've mentioned the official sources, kept the language encyclopedic and provided a host of books on the subject, but these guys don't seem to listen and just keep on attaching an NPOV and factual inaccuracy tag because my official citations from the Shaolin etc. don't exactly compare to their POVs, and they keep on delievering lectures on how the british were'nt too bad and how the "white people" are this and that.
Ditto for the Indian nationalism, kindly ensure that the articles are not vandalised and if anyone can turn the language in the Indian martial arts section more enclyclopedic and take it out of the NPOV and Factual accuracy categories it will be greatly appreciated. I did'nt know where else to look for help so I came in here. Thank You.

message: The following discussion is copied from WT:INB. Please respond there to keep the discussion centralised.
I think we should retire templates for the various Indian wikiprojects such as , ,  etc. and replace them all with . It has various advantages over the others.
*We can rate the articles - the rating counts appear on the WP:IND page as we do so.
*Each of the above child projects can get exposure as the template can incorporate their names as well.
*This will guide new people and other interested readers to a centralised project page and help us recruit better for the projects.
*It will help rejuvenate the WP:IND. It has the lowest no. of members of all these projects.
These are just some thoughts. If there is agreement on this, we can start by replacing the templates on the project pages with the  template. -- Lost(talk) 18:26, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
