Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Talk pages

Hi Onkuchia, to be effective in talk page discussions, you need to follow the guidelines at HELP:TALK. In particular, proper indentation and signing your posts are a must. Also, when you start a discussion, please include a link to a diff to the contested edit somewhere. That way, people know what you are talking about, especially when you ping other editors. You can see HELP:DIFF for how to use diffs, but you can ignore the more advanced aspects for now. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 09:54, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

@Kautilya3: Thanks :) would take utmost care to follow all the instructions in the future. Onkuchia (talk) 05:36, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Shivaji Origin

whose credibility are you talking about... here

The Bhosles are Rajputs

The Kshatriya origin of the family of Shivaji has been proved from the sanads. A few other contemporary evidences may be mentioned here:

1. Shiva Bharat I. 41-42; II. 59; XXIV. 74. Maloji and

Shahji are described as belonging to the Solar dynasty.

2. Parnal Partatgrahan Akhyan gives Sisodia as the family

of Shivaji.

3. Sabkasad (P. 82): Pure Kshatriya Sisodia family of the

north.

4. B/iu&han's Shivaraj: Maloji is born of the best Kshattriya

Solar family of the Sisodias. 5-6 couplets.

5. Shahji calls himself a Rajput in a letter addressed

to the King of Bijapur. Doc. 710 in P. S. S.

6. Bhundhela Memoirs, Scott's History of the Dekkan, p. 4:-

Sisodia Rajputs.

7. Khafi Khan: Descended from the Ranas of Chittor.

8. RamchandrapanC* Royal Edict: Describes Shivaji as an

ornament of the Kshattriyas.

9. Radha-Madhav-Vilas Champui This book was written by

Jayaram between 1654-58 and its testimony is most trustworthy.

190 SHIVA ji THE GREAT

Shahji Bhosla descended from Sisodia Rajputs-pp. 257, 268, 269, 270. That he belongs to the solar dynasty, is mentioned on pages 267, 269.

10. Gaurishankar-Ojhai in his History of Rajputana Vol. II,

514 on the basis of Rajput sources traces the Bhosles to the Sisodias

11. An English letter: O f 28th November 1659 describes Sevagy

" a great Rashpoote." Shivaji Vol. I. P. 54; Nos. 20, 24 of P. S. S.

12. An English letter, of 10th December 1659: Rashpootes

are differentiated from other Hindus. Shivaji Vol. I. P. 51.

13. Tod's Rajasthan Vol. I. gives the geneological tree of

Shivaji wherein Ajeysi or Ajayasinha is the founder of this new branch. ( Pp. 225, 288. Madras Edition 1873).

14. RusseVs Castes and Tribes of C. P. Vol. IV. P. 200:

11 In 1836 Mr. Enthoven states the Sesodia Rana of Udepur, the head of the purest Rajput houses, was satisfied from the inquiries conducted by an agent that the Bhonsles and certain other families had a right to be recognized as Rajputs. "

15. A letter of the Maharana of Udepur:

This result of the enquiry is to be had in the two letters published in the Sidhanta Vijaya by Mr. Dongre. There is a letter from the Maharana of Udepur and another from the Royal Priest Amreshwar of Udepur to Maharaj Shri Pratapsinha of Satara. Therein it is said that " you are our near kindred. No difference regarding matters of that and this place is to be kept in mind. Originally we are one."

THE BHOSALES ARE RAJPUTS 191

16. Historical Sketch of the Native States of India byCol. G.B.

Malleson ( 1875 ). Pp. 254-255: "According to Maratha tradition Shivaji claimed descent from that branch of the Royal Family of Udaipur, which reigned in Dongarpur. One of the disinherited sons of the thirteenth ruler of that family left his father's house for Bijapur, entered the services of the king of that place, and was recompensed for his services by the grant of the district of Mudhol comprising eighty-four villages and the title of Raja. This man who was called Sujunshi had four sons, from the youngest of whom, Sugaji, Sivaji claims to be directly descended. "

17. Historical Sketch of the Princes of India by Clunes. P. 130:

" One of the latter, named Sujansee, came to the Deccan and entered the service of the king of Bijapur, who conferred upon him the district of Moodhul comprising 84 villages with the title of Rajah. Sujunsee had four sons; Bajee Raja, in whose line descended the Mudholkar Estate; the second died without family; from Wolubsye is Ghorpuray of Kapsi; Sugajee, theyoungest, had a son named Bhosajee, from whom are derived all the Bhonslays. 1 He had ten sons, the eldest settled at Deoolgaor, near Patus, the Patel of which Maloojee Raja, was an active partisan under the king of Ahmednagar, and had a jahageer conferred upon him,

1. Even the very name ' Bhosla' is indicative of the origin of the dynasty, as it is an abbreviation of Bhaswatkula on the authority of the 'Shahendra Vilasam, and Sangita Saramritam. In an other couplet he is described as a descendant ol Rama and his successors. The Sahitya Manjnsha tells us that Shivaji belong- ed to the Kaushika gotra. Maloji is called an ornament of the Solar race in the San&ta Makraiida ( Shivaji Nibandhavali I, p. 33). Bhosla can be a deriva- tion ot 'Bhaswatkula' on the analogy of Deva-Kula= Devula, the 't' being dropped as in PratipadaPadwa. Then Bhasa- ula Bhasola= Bhosala.

192 SHIVAJI THE GREAT

which descended to his son Shahajee, afterwards a principal Maratha leader, under the Bijapoor dynasty. He acquired, in the Jahagir, nearly the whole of what now forms the Collectorship of Poona, together with the part of the territory now under Satara and it was in these valleys that his son, Shivaji, matured his plan of Hindu independent sovereignty."

There are many inaccuracies in this account, yet the central fact of Shivaji's Rajput origin is undisputed.

Your recent editing history at Bhonsle shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Edit war

Stop edit warring on Khalistan movement. Lead already says they are separatist and your additional definitions read like POV. Discuss your edits instead of edit warring. Dheerajmpai23 (talk) 18:26, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

@Dheerajmpai23: The content is supported by several reliable scholarly sources. Extremism and Khalistan is a widely discussed topic in academic writing. Separatism doesn't necessarily mean there's no extremism. Stop reverting the changes without any legitimate reasons Stormbird (talk) 18:38, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Regardless of what "sources" say there is no guarantee that verification would always warrant inclusion. "Separatism" the word itself contain all forms of activities that this editor particularly wants to specify in violation of WP:UNDUE. His edit is a WP:SYNTH to some extent. It is POV pushing and edit warring over such problem edit reduces chances of credibility. Dheerajmpai23 (talk) 11:01, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Don't repost the comments on my talk page. The topic is being discussed on [the talk page] Stormbird (talk) 17:57, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

You have been already warned above and you have already made 3 reverts. If you reverted again then I will report you. Consensus is clearly against your edits so I would recommend you to stop edit warring and find a convincing argument in place of repeating yourself. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 01:32, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

@Harmanprtjhj: No consensus has been made yet. You've yet to add anything valuable to the talk page discussion. The mere accusation is not enough. In such cases as per the rules someone can undo your tendentious reverts. In case you failed to provide any legitimate clarification on the claims you make, the sourced material will be restored. And kindly refer WP: HARASSMENT to know how to be civil and not to threaten other editors. Stormbird (talk) 04:28, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Content Removal

Your deletions at Onam have been reverted. They were duly sourced before another editor removed them. TrangaBellam (talk) 06:30, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions notification

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

September 2023

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Please also heed the WP:CTOP notice you have already received for this topic area. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  18:37, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Air India Flight 182. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  20:00, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

WP:ONUS states very clearly that it's ypur perogative to seek consensus for inclusion of disputed content. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  20:03, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Air India Flight 182

Hey Stormbird, I strongly agree with your well reasoned argument about "Canadian terrorists" issue on Air India Flight 182, and you have worked hard in providing Very High Quality WP:RS sources . Your version was unfairly edited & deleted by the Ghost.. editor without any logical reason, but we will get back on that issue a little later. I think, more importantly, the Page Title itself hides the Bombing aspect & needs to be changed. I have put in an RFC for name change to "Air India Flight 182 bombing". Let's fix the page title first, and then work on restoring your stable version. Please take a minute for the RFC. Also, will appreciate your input on Hardeep Singh Nijjar page, if you get some time. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 06:45, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

You have recently made edits related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. This is a standard message to inform you that India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan is a designated contentious topic.

Hello, I'm Joshua Jonathan. I noticed that you removed topically relevant content from Vivekacūḍāmaṇi. However, Wikipedia is not censored. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Greater Magadha, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

• If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
• If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. — Diannaa (talk) 13:28, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
