This borders on personal attack. Please refrain from that. --Ragib 06:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi Subuddhi, Seems like you are new to wikipedia (or at least new to the articles in which Mr Sarvagnya puts his hands). Let me tell you something which will help you here. If you see Sarvagnya's contributions and various edit wars in which he has been a prime contributor (e.g. are Jana Gana Mana, Vande Mataram, Hindi, Belgaon etc etc), you will soon understand that he has a strong POV about most of the things. His disputes are well known with users like mahawiki and Arya Rajya Maharashtra and many others (to some extent with myself also). But the way to tackle him is not to show anger or frustration. You have to talk with proofs and citations. If you see his dicussion with me on some topic (primarily on tha talk pages of Jana Gana Mana), you will see what I am saying. He even goes on to announce that the Govt of India sites are not valid and so on. But you have to talk to him using citations only. When I showed him the GOV site and other links that say that Hindi is the official language of the Union Of India, then he became silent. So my advice to you is that keep your cool, do not use foul language, do not engage in personal attacks and prove your points using citations and authoritative references. Even I am surprised to see that there are so many people, who just hate Hindi for no reason, but I can't help it. What we can do is, talk with sense and maintain a NPOV because that is what wikipedia policy is. Happy editing. Thanks. --APandey 07:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi Subuddhi, Keep cool!Working with few arrogant editors here can surely enrage u but plz refrain from rude language and personal attacks.This will only weaken ur stand as the 'editor in question' is infamous for badmouthing and lobbying against editors which dont agree to his POV.Ur personal attacks can be a bonus for him.Providing enough citations will only keep him mum;but that too is not certain as that editor continued crying foul after presenting dozens of citations (at Belgaon) and on jana gana mana he's trashing Govt.of India's source!

Hindi Wikipedia

Namaskar Subuddhi. I have seen some of your comments on how beautilful and great Hindi and India are. Since you are so passionate you may consider joining Hindi Wikipedia. Here is the hi:Main Page. Hindi Wiki only has about 2000 articles even though it is one of the most spoken languages in the world. There are languages that are only spoken by 5 million people but have 10000 articles on Wikipedia. This is very embarrassing for Hindi speakers. Please join. (If you don't like typing in Devnagari just tell me, I have a solution). GizzaChat © 08:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
