Is his autobiography named as "Mhari Vaat" or "Mhari Atmakatha"? Is his full name Narmadashankar Mulshankar Bhatt? Npindia 10:35, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
I have redirected this page to Narmadashankar Dave because Narmad is his pseudonym and main article should be at his full name. Nadesai 17:34, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Article was earlier in the name of Narmad, which is his pseudonym, so I wrote main article here and redirected narmad page to here — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coderzombie ( talk • contribs) 17:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

The article needed serious attention as he is very major figure in Gujarati literature. Its rewritten and life and career expanded based on new research published in new edition (1994) biography Mari Hakikat. Especially this established his correct death date of 26 Feb. Works list added but need conversion to prose with more info. I may do that in future. Critical study and style needs expansion. his views should be added. Images of his bursts, monuments, home is needed. Life/career section should be further expanded with insights and other info.-- Nizil ( talk) 23:25, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
Well, I've taken a few runs through copy editing, and I think it looks better now (not done totally yet though). But while doing that, I got quite hooked- he sounds like a rather fascinating character. So I did a bit of digging and managed to find some interesting stuff; a recent PHD thesis written on his autobiography that looks ok, some literary criticism on his work, and a couple of articles from the India Times.
Apparently they're building a replica of his house at the university named after him, and even better, the other article mentioned that the actual house he built and lived in has just been restored, which led to a short youtube video from a local TV station story about it. It's posted by the station on their own official youtube account, so should be ok copyright wise to link to it somewhere. ( there's also a much longer video on the subject, which looks interesting, but no idea where it came from or its copyright status,or how reliable it is, so not much use for wikipedia purposes).
Re the expansion on literary style, there's another stand alone article about his literary works that is pretty much an exact copy of whats here; possibly expand that one with more in depth literary analysis, and totally rewrite whats here, selecting only the works most important to illustrating the trajectory of his life, career, and thoughts about the causes he supported. At present what is here (especially the prose section) reads a bit to much like a list to really work in a biography.
Anyone have other thoughts on this before I give it a try? Curdle ( talk) 17:42, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
But I see you found it already, so thats good. Thankyou very much for taking a look at them and transcribing the info, sounds like they would be ok to use as a reference as well as nice pictures. I had seen a three year old Times of India article about the planning of the replica house, which hadn't been started at the time of writing- good to confirm it was actually built. I have seen the local history clip, and thought it looked interesting but wasnt sure how authorative a source it would be. Not sure about the copyright issues though..The narrator and the poster have the same surnames and seem to be of the family of the former house owners, but could you tell if they were the creators of the video? Sad to hear Narmad had to sell it; I had read that the building exacerbated his financial problems, but hadnt come across info on the sale yet- the majority of the stuff I have access to are literary journal articles about his career, and they have the annoying habit of only making random mentions of personal or biographical stuff so you have to dig a bit!.

Isn't Narmadashankar a long name? 14 characters, to be exact, that's more than how many are in my first, middle, and last name combined, which I'm not going to tell you. Actually, not more, but you get the point, I have 18, so two names are actually as long as those combined. 1jire ( talk) 21:06, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
