This
edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Not done: The "General and cited references" section holds works that were consulted during the creation of the article but are not linked to any specific piece of text. Did you or another editor consult this source when contributing to the article? Additionally, as noted in
WP:GENREF, general references lose
text-source integrity, so it is best to cite the work directly inline.

Revert of ip, no explanation
Hi @
Capitals00:. I was wondering why did you
revert the ip's post? I don't see the need to revert and much less revert without an edit summary. Sincerely, --Thinker78(talk) 03:12, 26 March 2024 (UTC)reply
That message was nothing more than blatant trolling and I obviously reverted it per
WP:DNFT.
Capitals00 (
talk) 03:41, 26 March 2024 (UTC)reply
I see it more as a content dispute between you and the ip. What they pointed out can be found in criticism against Gandhi elsewhere, in the very easy google search I did. Please restore and use the consensus process. Thanks. Thinker78(talk) 19:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)reply
It is not a content dispute but blatant trolling. You really need find something productive instead of feeding the troll.

Info about criticism against Gandhi
There has been criticism against Gandhi, including claims that he was a British agent,[1] his practices of sleeping with naked women,[2] bias and rivalry with Nehru.[3] The revert of the ip post was undue and failed to
assume good faith. Sincerely, Thinker78(talk) 21:53, 27 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Your third source is not supportive of your claim. In fact it is simply the opposite.
As for the rest, so what do you want us to do? Add this all into the article? There are those who claim Holocaust was a hoax, COVID is fake, vaccines cause deaths and more and they do get coverage but when they raise those issues here we simply revert them away.
You are just wasting time over a troll IP and you need to stop it.

@
Capitals00 I request that you follow the consensus policy and the dispute resolution policy. Anonymous ips also have the right according to the Wikipedia's Five Pillars to present legitimate points in the talk page. I do not appreciate at all that you are telling me that I need to stop simply because it is an ip and you were in the wrong reverting without a proper edit summary and calling it trolling when it was not trolling, failing to assume good faith.
Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute.
"As for the rest, so what do you want us to do?" I simply presented the information backed by sources. It is up to a consensus whether to include it or not. You are pointing out to other things but even for those things there is a policy called
WP:FRINGE, which I don't know if it is the case with the information presented by the ip. Sincerely, Thinker78(talk) 03:41, 28 March 2024 (UTC)reply

Bapu doesnt means Father
Bapu is gujarati word usually used to address elderly wise men. Its being misinterpreted with hindi word baap. It gujarat anyone above 50 and mostly belonging to saurashtra region are addressed in respect as bapu, similarly in north india people address elderly as babuji.
I am sorry as i cannot produce citation for same, but being a gujarati i can explain the difference.
