Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Peer review

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

IMPORTANT: If you wish to make a peer-review request, please follow the instructions here.

The peer review department of the India WikiProject conducts peer review of articles on request. The primary objective is to encourage better articles by having contributors who may not have worked on articles to examine them and provide ideas for further improvement.

The peer review process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality; however, requesting reviews on very short articles may not be productive, as there is little for readers to comment on.

All reviews are conducted by fellow editors—usually members of the India WikiProject. While there is a general intent to expand this process to allow for review by subject experts, the preparations for this are not yet complete.

Peer-reviews that have been conducted prior to this year can be found at the 2006 WikiProject India peer-review and 2007 WikiProject India peer-review pages.

If you would like to join the peer-review team, please add your name below. Members of the team who are bolded (below) are currently active members of the peer review team and are likely to peer-review articles, and answer any queries you have in relation to their peer review. Particularly if you have received no response for some time on your peer-review request, please feel free to contact the members that are bolded and listed here.

I created this article on a paid contract (disclosure in talk page). The article currently has a POV cleanup banner. The subject of the article is an important humanitarian from Kerala and widely covered in media. Please help review the article and clean up the content of any POV that may have come from my "paid editing".Sabih omar 15:39, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting review for Draft:Cornitos on India's first corn tortilla chips brand Cornitos. Sabih omar 15:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is part of the History of The India-Pakistan War of 1965 specifically the role played by Brigade Commander Vijey Kumar Ghai. Article was being review by User Dial911 but they were unable to access the referenced books and later in Aug 2020 stated that they did not have time for further review and suggested I contact the WikiProject India peer review. They also suggested I trim the article which I have done and look forward to feedback and additional contributions if available. I do have some original photographs of the United Nations Line of Control meeting with Vijey Kumar Ghai that will be uploaded as work in progress.

I created this article following a request at the requested articles department. I didn't want to make it into a list but then couldn't find enough information anyway.

Most of the work regarding peacekeeping missions and history of India-UN is done. UNGA, UNSC require more inputs, working on it. The article has been improved with considerable amount of references. I request an assessment for the same. Your valuable inputs will be appreciated.

• " The capital of the Pandyan kingdom was initially Korkai, around 600 BCE,[7] and was later moved to Koodal (now Madurai) during the reign of Nedunj Cheliyan I.[8]" State only from when to when was it the capital. No need for info about the capital before Madurai

• Lead history stops at 1801, one needs to take it to the present. See Mumbai. Same case with "History" section

Etymology

• Make paras based on current name. Historical names and nick names
  • Each name has a one liner description and feel it is not required to have separate sections.
• "A leading theory for the etymology of Madurai is the derivative from Madhura (Sweetness) when Shiva blessed the land by showering divine nectar on the city from his matted locks"

This article has become too damn confusing, is why I am requesting a peer-review. When compared to say, Mumbai it is much to cluttered. Also there exist separate articles for Indore Junction,Indore District and Indore Division; which I think should come under one article.

Hi Wiki Peer Reviewers, Greetings. Could you please review the article available and let me know your thoughts. Ssriram mt (talk) 14:26, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Considering WP:GA?: Comments based on lead, History, In news and popular culture, refugees, Pilgrimage

• Remove all honorifics like Lord, Bhagwaan, Maharishi, Swami

- Yremoved

• Lead has some WP:UNDUE info. "The Ramanathaswamy Temple at the centre of the city has the longest corridor among all Hindu temples in India". This "longest" part is not needed. What is needed is that the temple is dedicated to Shiva and is associated with Rama

- Ycorrected.

• A.P.J. Abdul Kalam is WP:RECENTISM in lead. UNDUE.

- Yremoved

• According to Ramayana, -> According to the Ramayana,(italicize texts)

- Ycorrected

• God Vishnu -> the god Vishnu.

- Ycorrected

• "History" is a POV. Should be "Legend"

- Ycorrected

• "Rameswaram is significant for many Indians as a pilgrimage to Varanasi" -> for Hindus

- Ycorrected.

• "In news and popular culture" is too much WP:RECENTISM. Thirukumaran Nadesan incident is UNDUE.

- Ycorrected. In news taken up with other merging.

• Remove gallery. Not in accordance of WP:GALLERY.

- Yremoved

• Chota Char Dham is UNDUE here. Remove

- Yremoved

• "Support for this account may be found in some of the later versions of the Ramayana, such as those penned by Swami Tulasidas (15th Century) and others":
  • "may be": uncertainty. It is found or it is not found. I can't understand why "may" is asked.
  • wordy: change to -> This account is found in some of the later versions of the Ramayana, such as those by Tulasidas (15th Century).

- Yremoved

• WP:OVERLINK: common words like town, pilgrim are linked. Remove such links

- Yremoved

• IMO "Sri Lankan Tamil Refugees" and "In news and popular culture" should be merged into something like "Interaction with Sri Lanka"
• " the fishermen issues like attack, arrest, harassment by Sri Lankan navy for alleged cross border activities" Highly anti-Lanka POV. The ref is Indian, thus biased. Neutralize using "alleged harassment" etc.

- Ymodified and added SL side of the issue. While the subject is highly controversial, 381 out of a community of 10k necessiates retaining one of the top topics of the town.

• Bhagwaan Ram v/s Rama: standardize spellings

- Ymodified.

• use the common name Adam's Bridge, rather than Ram Setu

- Ymodified.

• "The Tamil Nadu state ranks numbers one in terms of foreign tourists to India"
  • A copyedit for grammar is needed
  • Not supported by ref: "Currently, the State ranks second in number of foreign tourists arrival into the State and third in domestic arrivals"
• the Puranas (the historical records of ancient India): highly questionable description. May be regarded as WP:POV. Replace with neutral "Hindu scriptures"

- Y replaced.

• WP:JARGON: explain jargon like Jyotirlinga, linga, Ramayana. Add short description. eg. the Hindu epic Ramayana, linga - the aniconic symbol of Shiva

- Y replaced.

• Mention a line or two about all major temples/religious sites like Ramarpaadham temple, Lakshamana Theertam etc.

- Y added.

• A section of the temple is needed. (Broad in coverage criterion)

- Y added.

• Accuracy: "The name "Rameswaram", roughly translated in English as place where Ram worshipped Shiva." Rameswara means Lord of Rama in Sanskrit, an epithet of Shiva, the presiding deity of the Ramanathaswamy Temple

- Y modified.

The religion, utility services, interactions with Srilanka sections have been widely expanded. The reference structure has also been cleaned up to standards. Copy editing and lead portion expansion is remaining. Ssriram mt (talk) 03:42, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rating can be higher. Any references to usage of terms after padma? -Azykwv (talk) 20:10, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An earlier rating of the article Jana Gana Mana gave it a 'Start-Class' rating. However, many modifications have been made since then and many disputes regarding NPOV and citations rectified too. A response to the assessment- page has been given and should be taken notice of. This article is of Top-importance for WikiProject India being the National Anthem of India and the contributors are committed to improving its quality to GA or A Class. Suggestions to achieve that should be made by the reviewer if it has still not received that quality. SASSOTO (talk) 09:41, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments of Bill william compton:

Lead

• As it's a Hindi film then add its Hindi name also, using ({{lang-hi|''name of film in Hindi''}}) template.
• Also add meaning of its title in English using same template (just replace hi with en).
• "is a 1970 Indian Hindi movie", don't start like this; start the lead like is a 1970 Indian thriller/horror/comedy/drama/romantic/etc film.
• "Directed by Vijay Anand", merge it with previously mentioned sentence.
• Mention name of producer after director, like produced by.
• "Film poster", in spite of it I would prefer theatrical release poster.
• We generally don't use "movie" in articles, replace with film.

Sypnosis

• Due to the copyright violation I've blanked the section. As you seem to be unaware of such policy, I'm not giving you formal warning. Write whole summary by yourself, in your language which shouldn't match with IMDB.

Cast

• Don't use those "...", replace with as, like Hema Malini as Rekha.

Soundtrack

• Replace "song" with Title.
• It would be better if you mention the length of each song, under the same heading.
• Remove parenthesis around s ("(s)").

External links

• External links section come after References.

References

• Except boxofficeindia.com no other source is reliable enough to use as reference.
• Cite the sources.

Infobox

• Wikilink the Trimurti Films, remove pvt. ltd, etc as we never write them within article.
• Wikilink the Prasad Studios.
• Add "Budget" and "Box office" etc attributes.

I hope this would be enough for a stub class article. — Bill william compton^Talk 11:15, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Ravichandar84

• The textual part of the article is extremely small. Most of the article is made of lists. Please expand the textual part a bit more.
• As per WP:MOS, the lead section should completely summarize the article.
• Sources are extremely few. Claims like "Balasubrahmanyan has a daughter Pallavi and a son S. P. B. Charan" should be properly sourced.
• Sources should be reliable. I am not sure if Aristopia.com, Networkbase.info and 600024.com are reliable. It will be better if you consult someone about the sources. Meanwhile, I feel that most of the links you have added to "Futher reading" can be used as sources for further expansion of the article.

Y Done

If atleast two or three of these concerns are addressed, I think the article should be good enough for a C-class. Regards. -The Enforcer_{Office of the secret service} 12:38, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• in the History section, you have the abbrievation "RAF" (for Royal Air Force), but haven't introduced the abbrievation yet. Thus, I feel here you should replace "RAF" with "Royal Air Force (RAF)";

Didn't see any such use, may be it was fixed. Sumanch (talk) 22:01, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 DoneSumanch (talk) 22:05, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• the final sentence in the first paragraph of the History section needs a citation ("After the war, they were interned..."
• in the final sentence of the first paragraph of the History section "allies" should be capitalised as it is a proper noun, while "Couter-martialed" shouldn't be as it isn't;

 DoneSumanch (talk) 22:05, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• in the History section, I think you should break up the paragraph beginning with "The IAF saw significant conflict" - I think you should split it at the end of the sentence ending with "when the UN mission ended";

 Done Sumanch (talk) 00:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Unvarifiable. Sumanch (talk) 02:46, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 DoneSumanch (talk) 23:08, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like the IAF maintains the copyright but the images can be used with a Fair use rationale. In terms of Wikipedia's image policy, this means basically that you need to be certain that you can't find a free (or non copyrighted) image to replace it. If a free image is available (i.e. one that's in the public domain), or it is reasonable that one might exist, then you can't use a copyrighted image with a claim of fair use. That's my take, but I might be wrong. This might help: Wikipedia:Non-free content. Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong. Cheers. AustralianRupert (talk) 10:40, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I couldn't find any other articles about an Air Force which are FA (or A) quality for comparison. The United States Marine Corps is FA, so its probably a better template than the RAF article; in comparison to the structure to the USMC and USAF articles:

• mission section is just a paragraph instead of having multiple subsections

Romanian Land Forces is a GA and it has a similar mission section.Sumanch (talk) 16:07, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you think that section meets A or FA quality, be my guest and use it, but I certainly don't. Also, Australian Defence Force is another FA article you can look at which has a different structure. Kirk (talk) 14:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• history section should have subsections

It used to have one. But this new structure was advised in the previous peer review.Sumanch (talk) 16:07, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I scanned your review and I didn't notice that anywhere other than a desire for the article to be shorter in this section. Look at the United States Marine Corps article and the History article. The USMC article has some high level subheadings in the History section which summarize mutltiple sections in the USMC History Article. Origins, Partition of India, Summary of conflict 1961-1971 (I don't know what to call this), etc. would make it easier to read. Kirk (talk) 14:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done --Gremaldin (talk) 09:35, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• personnel include 'the IAF', which probably isn't needed, and probably should use the same sub-sections as USAF: consider adding training, awards and uniform. The USMC article has uniform in a separate section.

Added a training susection. --Gremaldin (talk) 15:38, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• My understanding is Junior Commissioned Officer is a Indian Army term; I think the proper term in the IAF is Warrant Officer. Its distinct enough it probably should have its own subsection to explain why the IAF has Warrant officers when the Indian Army has Junior Commissioned Officers.

Junior Commissioned Officer is a rank category. The Warrant officers in the IAF, Subedars in the Army, and Petty Officers in the Navy fall in this category.

I know what you are saying, but you need to back that up with a reference and its probably only worthwhile as a footnote. Just looking over the IAF website, I can't find any reference to Junior Comissioned Officers, so I'd remove that subheading on the table with Junior Commissioned Officers and Enlisted.

• Structure or Organization; seems to me organization is better since that's what the USMC article uses. And why does Aerospace command get its own section?

It is a work in progress. Right now we are open to suggestions. Sumanch (talk) 16:07, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Converted it into prose. --Gremaldin (talk) 10:40, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• The USMC article doesn't have a very detailed equipment section, i've noticed most air force articles devote a lot of space to detailing each aircraft in use, which probably isn't in line with WP:SUMMARY

 Done Made the "aircraft inventory" section much more concise and comprehensive. --Gremaldin (talk) 10:40, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• The info box could more stuff in there, but this seems to vary widely between Air Force articles. Maybe add engagements, I would guess the commander section could be more extensive, the personnel section could be more detailed with active, reserve, guard numbers.

No, I think over-corwding the infobox creates distraction. Infobox should contain only the absolutely need to know and nothing more. USMC infobox is a bad example. Sumanch (talk) 16:12, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why its a bad example, I guess you don't think its an FA article? Also, I'd like to know how many personnel are active vs reserve, but the article doesn't contain that information & it would be nice in the infobox. Kirk (talk) 14:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Added engagements. --Gremaldin (talk) 13:23, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is just high level stuff, hope this helps! Kirk (talk) 15:58, 8 July 2010 (UTC) I have witnessed the pravachans delivered by Swami Krishna Dutt ji, in person.Starting from his childhood, his illeteracy and downtrodden background to his fame and following resulting into establishing Ashram at Barnawa(UP,India) the myth of continuous neck shaking and delivering speech clearly in light of Vedic tradition is something beyond explanation of modern science. Let us not focus to raise controversies but to concentrate what he told in his speeches and its link to modern science, which directionally is moving the way he uttered is peak of scientific evolution. Thanks and regards Sanjeev K Tyagi[reply]

My family (My Nana and NaNi) has witnessed Shringi Rishi's rebirth (as Krishna Dutt Ji Maharaj) and section on this needs to be added. For Individual to make their own judgement a link to Video's which shows proof of his rebirth are available at https://archive.org/details/PRAVACHANAA including all Pravachana given by him during his re-incarnation. The section titled "Shringi Rishi's rebirth (as Krishna Dutt ji Maharaj) needs to be brought back in with content added from the pravachana's of his re-incarnation

English Translation of following: "ईश्वरीय सृष्टि का अद्भुत चमत्कार एक पुरातन ऋषि का दिव्य जन्म १४ सितम्बर सन् १९४२, में उत्तर-प्रदेश के गाजियाबाद जिले के, ग्राम खुर्रमपुर-सलेमाबाद में एक विशेष बालक का जन्म हुआ। बालक जन्म से ही एक विलक्षणता से युक्त था। और विलक्षणता यह कि जब भी यह बालक सीधा, श्वासन की मुद्रा में, कुछ अन्तराल लेट जाता या लिटा दिया जाता, तो उसकी गर्दन दायें-बायें हिलने लगती, कुछ मन्त्रोच्चारण होता और उसके उपरान्त विभिन्न ऋषि-मुनियों के चिन्तन और घटनाओं पर आधारित ४५ मिनट तक, एक दिव्य प्रवचन का प्रसारण होता। पर एक अपठित ग्रामीण बालक के मुख से ऐसे दिव्य प्रवचन सुनकर जन-मानस आश्चर्य करने लगा, बालक की ऐसी दिव्य अवस्था और प्रवचनों की गूढ़ता के विषय में कोई भी कुछ कहने की स्थिति में नहीं था। इस स्थिति का स्पष्टीकरण भी दिव्यात्मा के प्रवचनों से ही हुआ। कि यह आत्मा सृष्टि के आदिकाल से ही विभिन्न कालों में, शृङ्गी ऋषि की उपाधि से विभूषित और सतयुग के काल में आदि ब्रह्मा के शाप के कारण इस युग में जन्म लेने का कारण बनी। इस जन्म में अपठित रहने की स्थिति में जैसे ही यह शरीर श्वासन की मुद्रा में आता तो कुछ अन्तराल बाद इस दिव्यात्मा का पूर्व जन्मों का ज्ञान उद्बुद्ध हो जाता और अन्तरिक्ष में उपस्थित सूक्ष्म शरीरधारी दिव्यात्माओं के समक्ष एक सत्संग सदृश्य स्थिति बन जाती जिसमें इस महान आत्मा का सूक्ष्म शरीरधारी आत्माओं के लिए प्रवचन होता। जिसमें इस आत्मा के पूर्व जन्मों के शिष्य महर्षि लोमश मुनि पूज्य महानन्द के प्रवचन भी होते। क्योंकि इस दिव्यात्मा का स्थूल शरीर यहां मृत्यु लोक में स्थित होने के कारण वहां सत्संग में दिये जाने वाला दिव्य प्रवचन इस शरीर के माध्यम से यहाँ उपस्थित जन-मानस को भी सुनाई देते हैं। इन प्रवचनों में ईश्वरीय सृष्टि का अद्भुत रहस्य समाया हुआ है, जो किसी भी मनुष्य को, समाज और राष्ट्र को उच्च कोटि का जीवन जीने का कारण पैदा करने का सामर्थ्य रखते हैं।"

== Shringi Rishi === THIS IS WRONG INFORMATION ABOUT RISHI SHRING

This article needs to be peer-reviewed for containing a disputed section titled "Shringi Rishi's rebirth (as Krishna Dutt Ji Maharaj) in recent years" which makes reincarnation claims for mythological Shringi Rishi whose name appears in connection with Ramayana, as stated in the first section of this page. The claims are made as if these are proven facts with a seemingly obvious propagandist tendency. The article even contains self-promotional links right in the middle of the article. An apparent attempt to make the article more neutral in the form of adding a para of views in conflict with those making reincarnation claims, although equally unsubstantiated by authentic reference sources, was later edited by the propagandists and tagged as comment with its answer included there. Usually, a conflicting opinion is not to be tagged as comment in the article. Talk page should be used to discuss any issues. The section making reincarnation claims seemingly requires to be removed but it is better if peers make their own unbiased assessment. --MazeOfThoughts (talk) 04:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MazeOfThoughts, You are absolutely right. I have removed the section citing the same reasons. I have also suggested a merge with Rishyasringa. Shringi Rishi and Rishyasringa are same.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 04:57, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking appropriate action, if you are sure that Rishyashringa and Shringi Rishi are same, I think it is only logical to merge the pages.--MazeOfThoughts (talk) 21:18, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article apparently does not cite any third-part references to support the biographical assertions made therein and there is a lack of neutrality in the tone of the article. Describing a self-proclaimed saint as a self-realized saint can only be termed as an exaggeration. Still, that is my opinion. But in other areas too, instead of stating that he is "claimed" to have gained spiritual powers by meditation etc. it clearly says that he "did" attain spiritual powers which is not a neutral description in any way. In my view, describing these ideas in a neutral way won't take away anything from the significance of the person, if he has any. Self-sourced biographical assertions can also not be relied upon and additionally, I wonder, why is there no mention of the contra-claims and scandals surrounding the new-age guru where people have questioned his activities and Ashram also came under scrutiny for some criminal activities. This article either needs to be completely removed for total lack of neutrality and no verifiability of facts or needs to be thoroughly revamped to make it look more neutral and factual. --MazeOfThoughts (talk) 05:26, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would appreciate advice on how to proceed in improvement of this article.

Redtigerxyz's comments:

• More Citations needed
• Please give more emphasis on facts, than opinions
• Write about the chief subject of the poem: It writes about Ravana's death, what else, expand, how did he die, any background, after death. Is it covered.
• Use Normal English spellings then IAST, WP:Featured Articles (wiki's best work) Ganesha uses Ganesha, NOT Ganeśa as Readers may not be aware of IAST format. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:00, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  
  

Thank you for your help Redtigerxyz. I will implement these improvements. The only one I'm doubtful about is the use of IAST. In my opinion it is preferable to use the full diacritics for rendering Sanskrit words, but i will experiment.opfallon (talk) 17:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked at the Ganesha page and I'm unclear about what principles are being applied with regard to IAST. Some words are given in IAST and others aren't. There are even variant spellings of Ganesh/Ganesha. Should i apply the tag IAST to all Sanskrit words? Should I give an anglicises rendering in the first instance followed by IAST and then subsequently use IAST? opfallon (talk) 17:36, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, the following will be the most ideal format for key terms: Bhalachandra (IAST: bhālacandra; "Moon on the Forehead"), Ganapatya, (Sanskrit: गाणपत्य; gāṇapatya). I will prefer the way it is done in Ganesha. Render the normal English - anglicises spelling and IAST, then use the anglicises rendering throughout. Though IAST is frequently used in scholarly works, NOT everyone knows it (read "ONLY some know it), NOT in India, NOT in the world. Ganesha or Shiva is more familar than Ganeśa or Śiva, atleast in India. Before wiki (Researching for Hinduism articles), even I didn't know of it. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 04:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• "one of the boldest experiments in classical literature" is an opinion, rather than a fact. The sentence gives a sense of hyperbole. The lead sentence should be some thing like "Bhaṭṭikāvya is a ____ th century Sanskrit poem/text by Bhatti, (about) _____" In analysis of the poem, one can have statements like ""one of the boldest experiments in classical literature, according to _____".

Ganesh, here are some suggestions

> Like all states, the governor is a nominal head and representative of the President of India. He or she is appointed by the president for a five year term

• Why don't you link this to the federal system in the Indian government. Readers can immediately learn about the state-central system in the country.

• We need citations for governing spans for each of the governors.

• I'm sure there must be photographs of S.S. Barnala available under CC.

I just went over this article, from virtually nothing to add a whole lot of info + references, which didn't exist before. I also added an infobox for better/easier navigation. I was wondering if someone could review this? Thanks, Lihaas (talk) 15:50, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will add a standard response.

• This article lacks inline citation, three isn't enough. For example, a citation is needed right after The party was founded in Andhra Pradesh in 1980, another one right after development out of Central Organizing Committee, CPI(ML) (which had been dissolved in 1977), etc. etc. Per manual of style, don't tell something, show it! So to show something, you need to cite it from somewhere(ofcourse from somewhere reputable).
• Lead — Lead of the article is not an introduction to the article but it is a summary of the article. It is like when you read an article in a journal, it has an abstract which summerises the article.

Hope that helps. Sumanch (talk) 23:57, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Introduction needs to be trimmed down. too much text. Provide references to facts like "DLF, is India's largest real estate developer based in New Delhi, India." or policy statements like "the government assumed the control of real estate development activities in Delhi and the role of private real estate developers was restricted". Too many statements made as facts without prorper references
• Recent History? Rephrase with a clearer title
• Developments and Joint Ventures sections have a lot of NPOV issues. What is definition of "high quality residential, office and retail properties"? These sections sounds like a advertisement for DLF
• Provide references to statements made throughout the sections.
• Non existant or fictional stuff bring down quality of the article, "Together DLF-Laing O' Rourke shall build the expressways, ports and other megastructures of India's new economy."

This is an important novel in historical, satirical, literary, and political terms. The article lay dormant for a long time and I've tried to give it some meat.
