paper and to the
Illustrated Weekly of India, the top journal of yesteryears. Overall this is fair proof of notability. So many Indian journalists have sketches on the Knowledge (XXG); but few among them have contributed to overseas publications and few have been alluded to in Yahoo New or the Christian Science Monitor--this latter is among the top three journals of the USA.

I asked Drmies for help on one article which got him to uncover this. I still haven't had much time to look around, but one thing, the worldcat link on the article lists all authors of the same name, looking through the first fifty books on the
Worldcat link, I couldn't find one by this person. This

The comment about the illiterate use of
English by the self-appointed editor is absolutely correct. The correct expression is 'mistaking the woods for the trees' and it refers to a failure to distinguish general issues from specific details. His focus is precisely on small details, so is yours; and

Some of the editorial comment shows poor literacy. Thus the first line right at the top of the page says: "Look carefully to see the forest through the trees". This is hilarious! How can you see through a tree? Will you cut a hole in the trunk! There is no such expression, but if you do want to use

I checked and found that there is a reference to him on Yahoo News too. This is the number one online news portal. Additionally, the references to contributions in overseas journals are accurate. He has also contributed to the Hindu, south India's top paper, the

For the CSM link click the note 11 and then go to page two. As for Yahoo News, retrieval is more complicated because they have archived the story. I am writing to Yahoo to see how it may be retrieved. Other links such as those referring to Gulf News and
Minnesota Post both work and demonstrate how

The article should stay because the person-concerned has been the subject of international reporting (i.e. Christian
Science Monitor); this establishes his notability. Besides, the site gets reasonable traffic. Most Indian academics who have had their biographies put up on the Knowledge (XXG) have

You managed to find the books, which I couldn't based on the link within. Indian libraries are not covered in worldcat, so we can't take that at face value. However, BCL and LoC holdings aren't generally indicators, as they tend to hold anything they get a copy of; t. Given the timing of the books

In a 2008 book titled "The
Invasion of Delhi," scholar Sanjay Yadav argues that the original inhabitants in and around Delhi have been marginalized by newcomers. He calculates that they now make up just 35 percent of the population and hold 6 percent of the white-collar jobs. He also appeals to

Another instance of poor
English is the expression 'walled garden'. Most gardens are walled, e.g. the Mughals Gardens in Delhi. Nor is the new information technology meaning applicable here. So what does the masked creature from the animal kingdom mean? Nothing! He is just trying to sound more
