The Kashmir Files
Salam walequm bhai, good news is The Kashmir Files has been banned in Singapore on OTT please help to update as it is locked. Please bhai must put reason that Singapore as a developed country feels this is one sided story and not good for multi-racial country. We have more countries banning it.

- Yeah, interesting indeed! Thanks for alerting me. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:12, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) At March end, they said it'd be released in Singapore on April 7th. A UAE ban was also mentioned. I'm actually looking for sources for the UAE ban and all of them seem to attribute to Agnihotri['s tweet].[1][2][3] Also, all sources say [in Singapore] the film "will be refused classification" and thus "effectively banning" — DaxServer (t · m · c) 13:33, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

- My statement is not intended for your talk page or related to you in any way. The IP 220.255.220.66 statement on your talk page reveals his views on a particular topic, but as that topic page is protected he can't do so. Hence, it's necessary to inform him regarding the wikipedia policy for article writing. As he may affect the neutrality of other articles which are not protected.

Compromised account?
Kautilya, you appear to be familiar with the editor FacetsOfNonStickPans (DTM). Can you look over their recent edits and opine on whether such behavior has been observed before, previous concerns about a compromised account should be considered seriously, or if there is another explanation? And if have off-wiki ways to communicate with DTM, can you check on them sometime? Thanks. Abecedare (talk) 13:52, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Abecedare, his mood swings have become a frequent occurrence now. So I am not surprised, but I had never seen him go this far earlier. I appreciated your short-term block and hope that he might come back a bit reformed. I don't see any evidence of a compromised account. See these long explanations written only yesterday for example. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:13, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Fundamental rights in India
Thank you for your attention to the captioned article. You seem to have reverted several recent edits of mine, for what you see as problems with the lead section.
Here is my response:
1. The article suffered from many issues - including inaccuracies. My attention was invited through the lead notice 2. The lead should explain what is "fundamental" to the rights - the Indian constitution's guarantee is not absolute and it is important to mention this in as lucid a manner as possible. 3. There are not 6 rights, but 6 groups of rights - the article seems to have copy-pasted from a previous link 4. The link to Indian constitution in the earlier version was broken. Citations were wrong and in wrong places 5. There were other rephrasings that were done
Given the substance of the above problems, I have reverted to my version. You are free to edit from here - but you seem to have blanked many other corrections along with what you saw as the problem.
Happy to have your inputs on individual edits. Chancemill (talk) 15:11, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Chancemill, the recommended protocol is WP:BRD. Please read that page thoroughly. All edits to Wikipedia are subject to WP:CONSENSUS. The WP:ONUS for arguing for changes rests on those who want to make changes. When there are disagreements, the WP:STATUSQUO should be maintained.
- The rest of the discussion will continue on the article talk page. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:15, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Noted thank you - I am happy to re-edit the lead paragraph, for readability - but please do note that my changes had other elements. Chancemill (talk) 15:19, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- We continue to talk on fundamental rights - but I have one basic question
- Can you let me know why you have let the broken link stand'? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_rights_in_India#cite_note-1
- (Link to specific diff)
- I explicitly mentioned that I corrected this link - but you seem to have ignored this and conducted a mass revert.
- It seems absurd to me that an article on fundamental rights does not even refer to the correct legal document of the Indian constitution.
- I may come back on the rest (or I may not, if I find it too tedious) - but mass reverts are disappointing in throwing the baby with the bath-water Chancemill (talk) 01:17, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
Insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir
Hello, I think not all my edits you reverted were about "history". I also added information about 2021 and 2022. Especially, this info is important for the lede in my opinion: Following the Taliban takeover of Kabul in 2021, bombs that had been regularly used by militants against NATO forces in Afghanistan, as well as high-tech US-made weapons and night-vision devices, made their way into the area, leading to an increase in insurgent attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
The source I used, Deutsche Welle (DW), is a reliable WP:RSP source. We can also find more sources, if you agree to add the content. Thanks, Khestwol (talk) 12:56, 19 May 2022 (UTC)−°
- That may be right. But that content does not belong in the lead. You are displaying WP:Lead fixation. The last paragraph is talking about casualties and you are introducing something entirely unrelated. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:22, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- The lede does not mention the important fact though, that Islamist militants were/are an important factor to change a political conflict into a violent insurgency. Khestwol (talk) 15:37, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- JKLF and Zia ul Haq changed it to a violent insurgency first. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:55, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

- If we look closer, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq was the same person who coordinated Afghan mujahideen militants (with help from the US and Saudi Arabia) during the Soviet–Afghan War. So yes, we might say that Zia-ul-Haq, and his mujahideen of different nationalities who entered Kashmir from Afghanistan after the Soviet withdrawal, changed the political conflict into a violent insurgency.

Reverted addition of archive links
I noticed you reverted my edit where I added archives to Yasin Malik. As far as I'm aware, there is no clear policy stating if archive links should be added preventatively or after an external link dies. However, in Help:Archiving a source it says: "Editors are encouraged to add an archive link as a part of each citation". Following this statement, I will once again add the archive links. ElementSix (talk) 16:59, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- This is not a policy issue, but one of good sense. Those instructions are outdated anyway. archive.org archives practically everything we cite, and IAbot can always insert them when we need it. So there is no need to proactively insert archive links, which add nothing but clutter. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:27, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

You need energy to read my comments and thank me for that. :) Admantine123 (talk) 16:24, 31 May 2022 (UTC) |
- Thanks. That was the least I could do. If I had more energy, I would have joined the discussion. But it was moving too fast. In any case, I think you handled it well. And, perhaps learnt the lesson that maximum care is needed in dealing with caste topics. :-) -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:39, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- You must have noticed, change in attitude of mine from the last discussion, where both of us met the last time. I am becoming more mature in dealing with these things. Thanks for wishes.:)Admantine123 (talk) 16:50, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

This is for your exceptional work on Depsang Bulge. In my opinion a very difficult and complicated article to write. I checked who has written this beautifully detailed article I found that it is your wonderful contribution. The article is top class. Sir, keep continuing the great work. Akalanka820 (talk) 18:08, 31 May 2022 (UTC) |
- Thank you Akalanka820. I didn't know you were interested in border affairs. Please do come and join me on those pages when they meet your interests. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:23, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Sir, one request can the rating of this beautifully detailed article on difficult topic like Depsang Bulge be improved ? In my view it is A class or at minimum B ( depending upon rules which I am not clearly aware of it), the article is definitely more than start class. Should I take this on talk page of the article? Akalanka820 (talk) 04:53, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- Well, you can join the assessment workgroup at WP:WikiProject India and read through the guidelines. Then you can rate articles yourself. It is a good exercise to do some ratings, because it gives you experience on what Wikipages should look like.
- This particular page right now needs some work, because I let myself get influenced by Chinese propaganda while writing it, much to the derision of my friends. Things became clear only after satellite imagery became available. I am working on it right now and will take a few days. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 05:58, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
Siege of Skardu
Hi Kautilya3, I think there are four possible dates of when Siege of Skardu started. they are 22 October 1947 when Pakistan invaded Kashmir or 27 October 1947 when Indian forces entered Kashmir or 3 December 1947 when j&k forces reached Skardu for its defense (aka its defense began) or 11 February 1948 when the first battle between j and k forces and gilgit scout began (aka the blockade) in Skardu. I think the last one i.e 11 February 1948 date is the correct one. but I want to know your opinion. I recently edited Siege of Skardu page and put the date in the table as 11 February - 14 August 1948. I am little bit confused about when the siege of skardu started so pls reply to me which is the correct beginnning date of siege of skardu.Swtadi143 (talk) 11:16, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
