It seems inappropriate to attribute a racist quotation to Nandy without citing a reliable source. Someone should rewrite this section, perhaps citing the Feb. 1, 2013, New Yorker article "The Nandy Affair." Ariel Mazzarelli (talk) 06:41, 2 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Nandy is quoted verbatim and the cited source (http://zeenews.india.com/entertainment/and-more/rajasthan-police-file-fir-summon-ashis-nandy_127053.html)is WP:RS. -Mohanbhan (talk) 06:58, 2 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
