I am listing it here because Ananya Taye seems most likely to be "SashankaChutia", who is archived to Sairg. But could be either Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Penguinnumbers/Archive or Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Qwertywander/Archive. All these socks are WP:SPA and try to push a legendary account of the Chutia kingdom as history. This has been a multi-year phenomenon. These socks use IPs extensively to target other pages, and I am not listing them here, since the primary pages they target are mostly semi-protected (Chutia people, Chutia kingdom, Template:Chutiya Dynasty etc.)
The similarity with SashankaChutia is the following. There was a very long discussion on the domain of the Chutia kingdom, here. After a long discussion, SashankaChutia was identified as a sockpuppet. Ananya Taye now is pushing the same boundary that SashankaChutia was pushing for, now with a map ([1], [2] etc.) and using the same arguments SashankaChutia was making. All these socks go by their own interpretations of WP:PRIMARY texts and are incapable of coming to a consensus. Chaipau (talk) 14:35, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- Addendum
I have added IP 2409:4063:4d8d:e41e:5c81:cab9:afe:7ccd and 103.92.41.152. Users Ananya Taye and the IPs were making very similar edits very close to each other in their timestamps.
- In Kamarupa: IP address [3], Ananya Taye [4].
- In Raja Prithu. It looks like these edits are by the same user changing IDs to avoid a 3RR. 103.92.41.152 [5], [6], [7]; 2409:4063:4d8d:e41e:5c81:cab9:afe:7ccd [8]; Ananya Taye [9], [10].

- It seems I had reported this the two IPa at ANI [11]. Just putting it down here for the record. Also pinging Uncle G from that thread. Chaipau (talk) 23:34, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- Additional Information
@RoySmith: I am providing below evidence that Ananya Taye has the same behavior/interest patterns as the following two confirmed sockpuppets of the master Sairg and which was reported in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Sairg/Archive#16_September_2020:
- Ballav saikia (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)
- SashankaChutia (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)
- A very keen interest to extend set down a particular boundary of the Chutia kingdom:
- Ananya Taye uses a different tact to set the boundary down - by using a map
which is not supported by modern historianswhich is identical to the one SashankaChutia and Ballav saikia are arguing for. (edited) 11:26, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Ananya Taye insists on using primary sources to support his claims (in this case Buranjis and others).
- I shall be happy to provide additional information if this is not sufficient. Though the Chutia kingdom article could be of interest for many editors, the sustained interest in putting down a specific boundary is a special interest of this editor.

Additional information needed. In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
- At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
- At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
- In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.
- You're going to need to give more specific evidence. This is a big complicated case, and you've noted they could be any of three possible masters. That makes it very difficult to do any useful analysis. Actually, I'm inclined to close this with no action taken; looking at the technical indicators like timecards and editing clients used, I'm willing to believe that Homogenie and Ananya Taye might be the same person, but neither look anything like Sarig. The pages being edited here are the kinds of topics which draw great interest, so it's not surprising that there could be several people with similar points of view. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:44, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
