Template talk:India-geo-stub


I have added a picture for the India-geo-stub based on the wheel of destiny from the Indian flag. I have deliberately avoided using a map for a reason - that reason being Kashmir. Any map containing (or not containing) Kashmir is bound to cause controversy, and any indication on a Wikipedia miniature map indicating whether the region is or is not part of India automatically calls NOPV status into question. Furthermore, maps get messy - either you have to use a map from an atlas, which becomes a muddy jumble due to miniaturisation, or you have to choos a neutral colour for the map, again for NPOV reasons.

I thought that the map was NPOV. Any way, in order to avoid any potential controversy, I'll revert that. -- Sundar 06:52, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks - though I agree with you that a better picture should be found. Consider this one temporary! Grutness|hello?
I would prefer to see another image instead of the emblem. The emblem has nothing to do with geography, and would me more suited for a government topic stub. Nichalp 09:54, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
Sigh. Well, feel free to think of something better and change it. Using the Asokan column was an idea that came out of discussions between myself and Sundar. Seems it's difficult to please everyone :) Grutness|hello? 10:27, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
