Hi
Ktin, review follows: article more than 5x expanded from 11 December; article is well written and cited inline throughout; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook fact is interesting enough for me. However the source cited is a book published by
AuthorHouse, which is a self-publishing outfit. Does the author meet the requirements of
WP:SPS? The book by Baskaran (
Notion Press) is also self-published -

Dumelow: Pardon the time that I took on this one and also, happy new year to you! I had a chance to look at this one -- the hook can be validated by the Indiatimes.com link. The two SPS links are additive and adds some additional information that seems to pass what is mentioned at
WP:SPS. Seems alright to me. But, if you'd prefer I can remove them. I will also work on a QPQ here shortly. Thanks again.

Dumelow: Agree with your parenthesis text. Bridgette-White Kumar seems to be an authority on Anglo-Indian community, and specifically cuisines. Found an article in SilverTalkies here
[1]. Regarding Hari Bhaskaran, he too has been considered a topic expert on Anglo Indians. This The Indian Express review of the book has some additional information.
[2]. Also, this The Hindu review of the book.
[3] With these two I think we should be good. Let me know of your thoughts.
