Ummm ...
Uh, I sort of thought someone would kinda "welcome" me to the community. But, what the heck.
Welcome!!!
Welcome to Wikipedia!
Never mind about people not welcoming you yet. It took 6 months before someone noticed that I hadn't been 'welcomed' (see User_talk:DonkeyKong64).
I'm not a very prolific contributer to Wikipedia - in fact, almost all my contributions are either minor edits (formatting, spelling, grammar edits), or suggestions/comments on talk pages.
I am also interested in philosophy, as well as being scientifically minded (I am a mathematics student). Also, I love talking to thoughtful people who have perspectives that are different from my own. As an agnostic/atheist from a generally left-wing background, I would love to learn about Hinduism and right-wing philosophies.
Well, I guess that's all I've got to say for now. If you want to reply to me, leave a message on my talk page. And have fun editing wikipedia! DonkeyKong64 (Mathematician in training) 07:08, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how one is supposed to handle discussions like this. I guess i'll continue the discussion on my talk page, and post a message here every time I reply on there. Otherwise we will get hopelessly confused. That is assuming the discussion keeps going, which it may not, but anyway...
- I am now going to my talk page to reply to your post. DonkeyKong64 (Mathematician in training) 23:03, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry I didn't end up replying like I said I would. I've been busy recently... I intend to reply at some point when I get around to it. :P DonkeyKong64 (Mathematician in training) 17:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

हिन्दी / िहन्दी ???
i would like to point out here that the correct spelling of HINDI in devanagri script would be िहन्दी and not हिन्दी (with choti-ee-ki-matra (ि) on ह and not on न). ANANT SINGH अनंत िसंह 08:06, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
other templates for hindi
thanks for replying. kindly refer to the other templates for hindi (hi-1 to hi-4). hindi is spelt as हिन्दी. is it the correct spelling in devanagri script? i don't think so.
my userboxes are fine. i don see any dotted circle below the ee ki matra...i'm using firefox only. i dunno what the prob is. the way hindi is spelt in hi-1 to hi-4 is appearing to me as HANIDI! i guess the hindi fonts are screwed up over the net.
i've spelt it the right way man. it appears correct to me (i mean, i wont spell my own surname wrong)...i suppose the indic languages are not installed on my comp. i'll check those and see. ok...have done that. will see what the prob is in my computer. regards.

A big thanks!
Thank you so very much for the barnstar for my work on the Jat people page. I have been thrilled to find that there are a number of people out there appreciating what I have been trying to do to - it has been lonely and disheartening at times wrangling with the fanatics. Hopefully now, with the help of the Administrators and some level-headed contributors the page will become an interesting, useful, and factual account of Jats and their history, something all Jats can be proud of. You have made my day - thanks again. Sincerely, John Hill 22:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi
Sorry - I've been away (then embroiled in all sorts of controversy). I'll take a look in tomorrow and write up some stuff for you. Midnight here now :) I've not forgotten! - Alison ☺ 07:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Help with Wikisource
Dear ReluctantPhilosopher! Can you help me with transliteration of Devanagari (to UTF-8) on German Wikisource-Page s:de:Seite:Nanak der Stifter der Sikh-Religion.djvu/13? If you need the context, I can translate the German in English. --Balû 07:44, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- (Copy of Message on Balu's talk-page) Yeah sure, but you'll have to do the translation into English first... ReluctantPhilosopher@Talk 08:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- The sentence with the first Devanagri reads: "This motivates Rae Bular to impress Kalu, father of Nanak, who disrespects his son because of his moony nature, that his son is a great man and that he gots exalted through him (here is the Devanagari) which make no sense to Kalu, who halfheartedly answers, that only god knows gods matter.
- The second sentence: The family regards him as mad and starts to lament about this bad luck (Devanagari, says the original text).
- Can you now transliterate the Devanagari? --Balû 17:43, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- It reads "Ehu mahapurukh hai kalu tu bhi nihal hoa". Is that what you wanted me to do? ReluctantPhilosopher@Talk 03:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- The second sentence reads: "Tab sara parvar sabh kutumb vediyaan ka laga jhuran aakhan lage jo vadaa haif hua jo kalu da putra diwana hoa". I'm less certain about this second sentence as it's a very old dialect of Punjabi; I transliterated as it appeared to sound to me. ReluctantPhilosopher@Talk 03:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- no, that's not what I wanted. In Wikisource we write the original text from scanned pages in wikitext, so I need the Devanagari-text here in the wiki, sth. like this: उपयोजक. Do you understand me? --Balû 05:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey
Yea my userboxes do exhibit contradictions. I don't particularly believe that Hindutva or the BJP are fascists in practicality, as they do not exhibit the features fascists from history do in that they are democratic, they do not believe in seizure of state power, they are culturally nationalistic whereas all fascists are usually racially nationalistic and I really don't expect Rajnath Singh to be the next Francisco Franco. I also exhibit a personal belief that Hinduism is very special, that Bharat is the Hindu rashtra and that revolutionary conservatism is required to preserve the outstanding Hindu culture/religion which has survived so long under so many oppressions, hostilities and massacres suffered by its members. Why did the Gujarat riots affect you, there has been no proven links to the BJP also the fact that Congress instigated more mob violence in 1984. In my opinion a larger quantity, so to speak, of equality will exist under Hindutva in India than the anti-Hindu bias and pseudo-secularism that is prevalent at the moment and largely accepted by everyone. Hindu workers are butchered in my home state of Kerala by machete armed Marxist or Islamic mobs (like Gujarat riots in smaller scale) relatively frequently with the Marxist government and the media turning a purposeful blind eye to the situation, and I expect anti-Hindu violence to be prevalent elsewhere in India but in smaller amounts but never well documented and suppressed by pseudo-secularists. Also Hindutva law reform will make the legal system more equal in its treatment of everyone, though it is justifiably tailored to the majority Hindus. I think we can objectively say that India under secularist Congress is no means egalitarian, perhaps it is in the formal sense, in which case it can also be said Hindutva shares a few features with defined Fascist ideology (anti-communism, cultural nationalism) but similarly in some amount all right leaning parties in that way share elements with fascism, it is just reverse simplistic McCarthyism used by the left, but yes, you cant pinpoint Indian secularist political ideology with not supporting equality (despite the actual reality). I am slightly biased in favor of Hinduism who I believe to be without equal among current religions and much more than religion and I feel offended and disrespected that Hindutva is likened to fascism. I will not let my personal beliefs into Wikipedia however, unless I can find sources to support it of course. India is unique, has a unique situation and Hinduism is special to me, for the rest of the world I support formal equality, so there I admit I am a bit of a hypocrite but exceptions always exist. B Nambiar (talk) 11:36, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Yep, two wrongs don't make a right. Though it is important not to judge Hindutva by the actions of BJP, the Gujarat pogroms and some Hindu mobs, violence isn't a part of Hindutva and I am not happy to hear that speakers on Hindutva reminded you of fascism but not surprised. Yes Hindutva does involve dehumanization of the other i.e Muslims, but rather dehumanization of foreign ideologies more precisely, but dehumanization of the other is obviously necessary to push Hindu nationalism just like smoking is made to be considered harmful to reject it, it is logical. Hindutva claims especially by Sri Sita Ram Goyal, are very logical. The fact is that increasing foreign influence in India diminishes Hindu culture/religion(Hindu rashtra)and reduces the rights of the majority, and more instances of anti-Hindu activity result such as terrorist attacks and mob violence. Based on past events it can be said Hindus cop it much more than they dish out, and anti-Hindu bias is so prevalent and easy to add to that Hindus barely react to it and suffer the bias, with the ones standing up to it criticized as extremists too simplistically. The possible results of Hindutva is not too dramatic, a quick change of divisive laws which can be abused, the rightful recognition of India as the Hindu rasthra, more liberal economic reforms, more proactive diplomacy in international matters and hopefully removal pseudo-secular bias in education and an easy to view and acted upon position on terrorism. Negative externalities will result with Hindutva, human nature, but it occurs as a result of all types of politics. At least with Hindutva it will be more overt, than hidden ulterior motives hard to place in other types of political ideologies. Again Bharat is special, from an objective standpoint I claim, and for unique India, unique Hindutva is my political choice and unlikely to change. I believe I agree with what you have said and can still justify my views. Hindutva will not lead to gas chambers by any means, the situation and ideology is much different, though it might change immigration patterns. You believe human rights are under threat with Hindutva I gather, to which I think that human rights overall will improve in India, as a result of less anti-Hinduism, although it is likely that minorities will lose some human rights. Just to add, I have faith in Hindutva(BJP) economic policy and human development index largely correlates with per capita GDP, with the exception of Kerala strangely, so I believe Hindutva should overall benefit India more than other political parties.B Nambiar (talk) 14:21, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, just a quick note: When adding a welcome template (such as the {{welcome}} you added to User talk:Georgexx316) it is customary to substitute them by adding subst: to the beginning of it (as in {{subst:Welcome}} b.

Request for help with an Indian politics article
Hi, I see you're an Indian who has done a lot of work on Indian politics and the Indian National Congress, so I figured you'd be the right person to ask for help. Could you please check out the article about Girija Vyas? It's pretty bad in terms of PoV, but I don't know anything about it, so I can't really make much of it beyond tagging it and removing the worst slander. I figured maybe you could make something decent of it, and if not, maybe you'd know someone who can. Thanks in any case! Paul Willocx (talk) 21:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi ReluctantPhilosopher -- about Wikiquette alert...
Thank you, I appreciate your looking in on the matter at WQA here.
Please see my reply to you and comment further if you have time to look into the issues I raised.
I saw that you had quite a go of it here. I think WQA should work a lot better than it does, but of course it requires looking into a lot of detail before commenting, otherwise things can just get worse.

Indian National Congress
Man, I don't really know whether it's is propriate to ask you for such things, but anywhay... I noticed you discussing on INC discus-page pretty active. I looked through that pages dealing with INC with the very aim to fing the links to resourses and literature, but did not suceed. Why was I looking? I'm to wright a work about INC (formation - beginning of 20th century period) for studying. Local libraries (including university's) does not fit these aims at all. Google doesn't help either. Maybe it's a cruel fate, maby I suck at searching. So. that's the deal - you seem to be s person who knows stuff about INC, may a man like me ask for a help a man like you?

Patent Law Interesting?
I had to laugh and, indeed, am still laughing, at the idea that anyone, anywhere could make Patent Law an interesting read. As I am currently surrounded by two feet of snow and freezing rain is now bouncing off the top of it, I can use every bit of humour I can find. Thank you for this, however unintended on your part. I do hope someone can find you such a thing.៛ Bielle (talk) 16:25, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Indian Express
Hi Amit, I wanted to develop The Indian Express page into a more mature article. Some of the changes I intend:
- Split the newspaper from the group
- Split the bio of RNG from newspaper
- Develop the splits and build references
let me know what you think, either on the article talk or my talk. Nshuks7 (talk) 07:49, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

My long term career goals are to grow in the business hierarchy and play an important role in steering the workings of a business enterprise. I was influenced in reaching this decision by my experiences while pursuing my career and from my own evaluation and reassessment of my potential and inclinations. I felt interested in how businesses work and I was intrigued by the various factors affecting business decisions. My interest made me believe that understanding business, and hence doing an MBA must be the right choice for me. This was not always my goal as at one point of time I only wanted a career in software technology. However during the course of my career I realized that my work is somewhat one-dimensional and that I should aspire for a greater role. For that reason I changed my career plans and aimed to pursue an MBA at a reputed B-school like XLRI. I feel XLRI is just the right institute to help me achieve my career goals because it is an established name with a first-rate legacy in providing management education. Besides equipping me with the requisite skills and providing me with excellent networking opportunities, it will provide me with a reputed brand name in the field of management.
My overall philosophy of dealing with people primarily involves being honest with myself and with others. I do not believe in manipulating other people into doing what I want them to do. Instead I believe in setting reasonable expectations and giving and giving them the responsibility to do what is expected. Being honest and building trust is an important part of my relationship with people. Being comfortable in my own skin helps me enjoy others’ company in a group as well as be able to hold a one to one conservation. My philosophy has guided me in creating my friends circle as I have found it easy to recognize people who share my values and are similarly earnest. My best friends became my friends very quickly and they value my friendship and I do likewise. As for the kind of attitudes that make me uncomfortable, I do not feel quite as comfortable being around people with cynical attitudes who feel the only way to get ahead is by manipulating other people. However being true to my own personality helps me deal with such kinds of people too.
Recently I was asked to coordinate a project involving gathering of intellectual property data of a set of companies. The project included people from different groups, with some people having prior experience in the kind of work we were doing and others not. I was able to synchronize the work so that there was smooth transfer of knowledge between teammates and the best practices were percolated to everybody. As for the last time I got into a major argument with friends or colleagues, it was about three months ago. My best friend was going through some tough times but I didn’t know about it. I also didn’t get the chance to call him up during that, and didn’t know what was going on. When I went to his place and met him up he was upset that I was not with him in his difficult times. I told him I had no way of knowing. He said I should have called, I said I didn’t know there was something wrong. It eventually ended as I said I probably should have called even without reason, and he agreed it wasn’t such a big deal after all.
I think the biggest risk I have taken in my life is leaving a job for which I was trained for one that I did not have any formal training it. I had a master’s degree in computer application and was placed in one of the best communications software companies. At one point I realized that I was not best suited for that job and that I needed to move to something different. I heard about this research firm that provided services in intellectual property, business research and investment research. I opted for intellectual property as I thought it would allow me to work with the latest advances in technology and also to an extent satisfy my fascination with law and legal issues. To minimize the risk I made sure I knew the ins and outs of the work I was doing, and also that I fully leveraged my knowledge of Physics and Computer Science to bring value to the research work I did. It eventually turned out very well as my work was appreciated and I felt good about the work I was doing.
I was a part of the five-member placement cell while pursuing my M.C.A. degree at Panjab University, Chandigarh. During the placement process we were faced with the issue of when to allow people who had already been placed in one company, the opportunity to appear for the interview of another company (that visited later). Some people who had not been placed wanted all the people to be placed once before anyone placed was allowed to appear for the interview again. Others say it deprived good students of opportunities just because of some people who could not make it. Besides, it was unfair to the visiting companies. I first proposed a solution that we will wait till a certain percentage of students got placed, and then we will allow the placed students to appear for interview again. However it did not work because nobody could agree on what the percentage should be. Subsequently I suggested that we divide the companies into tier one and tier two companies. People who have been placed once could appear again in tier two companies but not in tier one companies (which were easier to get into). We were ultimately able to arrive at a consensus to use this second system, and it took us about a week. This was an important achievement as we, the placement cell, were able to be seen as impartial and credible.
After completing my B.Sc. I took entrance exams for both M.Sc. (Physics) and Master of Computer Applications (M.C.A). I got selected in both and in fact got first rank in the M.Sc. Physics entrance exam. My own interest lay with Computer Science and hence I wanted to pursue M.C.A. However my parents and teachers opined that I was very good in Physics and strongly insisted that I should pursue an M.Sc. in Physics as it would be the safer choice. However I was able to convince them and eventually opted for M.C.A. because that was where my heart was. I think it worked out well for me as I was exposed to much wider and stimulating career choices after doing an M.C.A. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.162.243.122 (talk) 12:58, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
