Talk:Gujarat

Narmada Bachao

I think the Narmada Bachao andolan part of the article only provides one sided view. It only focuses on the issues raised by the Andolan but misses how Sardar Sarovar project is beneficial to the state struggling with accute water crisis and multitude of opportunity in renewable hydro power.

Further check out the map of India. Its with half kashmir only. do you think any Indian can use such a map? it means that website may be prepared out side India. What does this reveal ? May be - Involvement of some foreign hand in the same.

Yes, Guzarat

There aren't many who pronounce Gujarat as "Guzarat" "Khazarat", but in some dialects, and especially those of the Muslim communities, most of Gujarati's J sounds are replaces with Z. Guzarat has become somewhat of an obsolete name for the state. Here is an old map that uses the term: http://www.thetreasuremaps.com/asia/Bellin,Perse1770.jpg

The food section

I believe this section should either be shortened or removed. It is irrelavant to the Gtate of Gujarat. Move it to the Gujarati culture page. User:Juthani1

Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park

This is a world heritage site, so it would be great if someone can upload a PD image to put on this page. Thanks.

Restucturing of gujarat article

I think most of the sections in the gujarat page are kind of promotion of some company instead showing any valuable content. Like

1. history

shows full instead it should shows 5-6 lines with header history of gujarat

1. Geography

shows location detail which should be/already noted in introduction
better we improve it with hill/river/climate/temprature/ranges/beach/desert/sea

1. demographics

seems ok but can be improved with 1 table of religion & %age of them
also we can add sex ratio/ethnic/language/dialect/literacy/birth-death rate

1. Districts

lets list them like its done in India#Administrative_divisions

1. Economy

Instead making points lets make descriptive like "among highest exporter state of india" or "ranks 2nd in export" like..
next 2 subsection ok but should be taken in economy of gujarat as seperate article & summarize here in short.

1. Education

lets make descriptive & create page of "list of university" & collages (lets not forget other states have 100 university)

1. Religion

this topic is well described. 

1. Festival

this section is good but its too long we can seperate page called "Festivals of gujarat" & list there.

I have started some changes like creating horizontal template & replacing textual facts to descriptive.

Peninsula in Gujarat

Its real name is Saurashtra. Kathiawar is a smaller area within Saurashtra. Please make this correction. Thanks

@Tejas pratihar: The article on Gujarat is not about Gurjars. So the origin of the Gurjars is irrelevant to the article. The etymology section covers what needs to be covered, that is the name is based on the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty. Etymologies are not necessary in the lead. What you have used as sources are unreliable - JoshuaProject, some Google docs and genetic articles, the latter while not reliable for WP:HISTRS doesn't even link Zagros to Gurjars, which is outside the scope of this article anyway. The only reliable source - this, mentions Gujarat being named after the Gurjara-Pratiharas, which is already covered, and not explicitly to the modern Gurjar caste/tribe. Also you have been edit warring. You should seek WP:CONSENSUS here in the talk page if reverted per WP:BRD, otherwise you might get blocked. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:55, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
