Mentioning Caste

Dear Editors!
There has been a discussion on India Portal related to mentioning of caste of subjects. The point is that mentioning caste of people, who have nothing to do with their caste, is found to be unnecessary by few editors. Hence the caste of the subject person needs to be deleted from the biography. I am not deleting the caste as of now but am only posting this here so that the regular editors of this article are well aware of it beforehand and no edit-wars take place. For details of discussion held on the portal please refer

Not here, please. There is a community discussion taking place at

WT:INB and I would advise people to read the entire discussion before forming an opinion because the above summary is incorrect. Nothing more need be said here. - Sitush (talk) 01:28, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply

I would like to mention the following "Kaul, born in Jodhpur in Rajasthan to a Kashmiri family, was ranked among the film makers who contributed to new Indian cinema with their exemplary movies" & is sourced from the IBN news website http://ibnlive.in.com/news/noted-filmmaker-mani-kaul-dead/165336-8-66.html Ambar 15:09, 13 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ambar wiki (talk • contribs)

Modification of Lede

The opening sentence makes a claim that is unsupported by the cited article: that he was the arguably the greatest director in any category at all, let alone Hindi cinema. In addition, the phrase "Hindi films" links to

Bollywood

, which is highly misleading in this context, since Kaul was definitely not a Bollywood director. I intend to modify the opening sentence to correct these.

On the line "joined as yearbook photographer and graduated as an actor"

First of all, I cannot see any mention of Mani Kaul being an yearbook photographer in any of the sources. I see (in his interviews and articles, including the ones cited in the article) that he joined as an actor, but later switched courses to become (and graduate) as director in FTII.

None of these facts are written in the article, worse yet, totally different things are written that are incorrectly cited. Salman khan connoisseur (talk) 11:37, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
