Talk:Sanjay Gandhi

message: HI, IMHO, Ved Mehta, A Family Affair (1982) & Katherine Frank, Indira: the life of Indira Nehru Gandhi (2002) should be used as reference points for facts but not the authors' views and interpretations of those facts. The article in its current form is still not NPOV because there are (disparaging) comments such as "just a member of parliament." A member of parliament (Lok Sabha) represents more than a lakh people; it is the highest directly elected position (by universal adult franchise) in India. All the ministers and the prime minister need to be M.P.s. Also, if Sanjay Gandhi could influence Indira Gandhi so much, he could have become a cabinet minister. If the contrary view that he wanted to hold power without responsibility needs to be accepted, then the need for him to stand for elections to parliament must be explained. A reading of Khushwant Singh's autobiography suggests that Sanjay Gandhi may have been brash but did not contemplate perpetrating harm and injury. I'm appending a POV tag so that the necessary corrections can be made. Gurubrahma 10:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: POV

message: Hi, I had appended the tag sometime back and outlined my reasons above. I think the article looks much better now - I've also done some copyedit. Hence, I'm removing the tag. If you feel that it is still POV, pl. feel free to append the tag and start a new discussion. --Gurubrahma 07:09, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  rmv NPOV tag 

message: It would be great if references are provided for the above; else, it may be construed as POV. Also, quoting Frank's work may not be appropriate in light of the ruling in Indian courts. See above for details. --Gurubrahma 04:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The references for the edits on December 12 and 13 are the same as already listed. I've made some changes in the language to incorporate more NPOV. Additionally, I've added the comment on the Indian court ruling about Frank's book.
Jai Sri Rama!

message: Much of it is hateful crap written by some 80 year old RSS/Hindutva nut case. Please purge the unnecessary and blatantly false comments
The intensity of your message shows who among the two is hateful crap. Why is somebody who supports RSS/Hindutva a nut case? Can you give some valued comments and not post whatever comes to your mind. Please point out any facts that you disagree with. Do not make blank comments. Do not even in your dreams call Hindutva as Nutcase. It is the oldest and most scientifically proven correct way of life.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.172.32.118 (talk) 04:32, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this article ever been read by any editors? 

message: I've assessed this article as Start class and updated the biography template. Note that I think there is some good material here and it is a structurally sound article, however from the talk page it appears that there is some controversy regarding NPOV. If these issues can be sorted the article could likely be upgraded to B class. ponyo (talk) 14:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Assessment

message: This article is written on the go. 
Its not fair to call JP and others "freedom fighters" when the period referred to is 1977. There were no "Freedom Fighters" after 1947, even though there may be govt quotas for them. To a foreigner reading this article, this term can be confusing. Can call them Gandhian or simply famous freedom fighters who took part in independence movement.
and, of course, no citations given. Im sure there would have been copious articles written on him by Khushwant Singh and in magazines like India Today.
It also says Sanjay and Maneka had a tumultous marriage. Who told you? Citation needed. Also rather than just mentioning her Punjabi origins, it requires one or two lines on her hometown, parents, how they met and her modelling career. 63.216.63.52 (talk) 13:12, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Casually written  

message: POV should be more balanced. There must be something positive also. Like i had read snippets in India Today which mentioned how Sanjay went against Congress culture by holding short meetings, no rallies and was a workaholic. 
And we need at least one photograph of the guy. and his prototype car!
