This article should focus on the overall province-wide development of Indo-Canadians and Indo-Canadians in areas outside of Greater Vancouver (Skeena and Victoria, BC as well as other areas). There should be enough room for both this article and Indo-Canadians in Greater Vancouver. Nayar's book The Punjabis in British Columbia has a lot of content on the rural Punjabis. WhisperToMe ( talk) 12:56, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
NOTE As the merge discussion at Talk:Indo-Canadians has been garnering support, despite the creator of this and the GV articles deluging it with his usual walls of text and SYNTH amassifications of cites to justify his POV forking, I am creating this only as a formality to go with the merge templates while awaiting a resolution of the creators' "war" to prevent that merge and justify his POV forks. If that merge succeeds, as it seems it well may despite prolific outpourings of arguments and cites "ad nauseam", then this merge will be adjusted to point to Indo-Canadians; as noted there by those few who have braved the walls of text posted by "the opponent" there is no valid reason for the Greater Vancouver title to be separate from the main national title. This article may then be deleted/merged back into the national title, also. I note that "the opponent" has also now fielded the idea that Indo-Canadians should be merged into South Asian Canadians according to his SYNTH readings of citations, so that's a fourth merge and yet more on the table. DO NOT use this section to deluge it with citations already made on too many other discussions to count. There's already far too much on too many boards to keep track of. Skookum1 ( talk) 10:04, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
I have reviewed the page for assessment. It almost qualifies for B-rating, but it has a couple of sections that need expansion, and it has too many red links. Once these problems are resolved, please request a reassessment. Oh, you would also need to expand the lead paragraph to be a bit more substantial. Kautilya3 ( talk) 21:26, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
In his 1976 UBC master's thesis, Brij Lal states in pages 3-4 (PDF document: p. 12-13/203) that:
It's good to keep track of what the sources say about each other so Wikipedians can pick through contradictory information and see what to put in and what to put out. Das's book should be listed in further reading, but notes on what sources say about each other should be noted. WhisperToMe ( talk) 18:14, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
This is a search of the "BC Mary blog" for items containing "Singh" as a 'marker' with too many notable names to list here; whether this belongs in the "Politics" section or "Crime" section is debatable. Dave Basi and Aneal Virk are bios long in need of doing but have to be done with care and informed authorship, likewise those of others involved or connected to the case because of certain legal strictures concerning publication that still remain. this is a search there for "Basi" and note that that blog has tons of mainstream media cites; it's not "just a blog" and is admissible as a reliable source; in fact BC Mary blog deserves an article eventually; but I was a participant there and a colleague of the late BC Mary so have avoided doing so for COI reasons. Skookum1 ( talk) 05:00, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Herman Braich and Erwin Braich ( Herman Singh Braich and Erwin Singh Braich) are both highly notable; there was a publication ban on the latter over a tax case, that has been lifted it seems and there is now a lawsuit against the Crown Prosecution branch and RCMP in Canada itself. There had been a previous civil-court lawsuit in Seattle that was settled out of court:
Suffice to say there's a LOT of material out there other than academic sources of "that certain kind" and a lot more important material to be covered than much of the UNDUE and quasi-TRIVIA that this article and its needs-merging Greater Vancouver "twin", and that additions here demonstrated that the metropolitan region and the province as a whole cannot and should not be treated separately. Skookum1 ( talk) 05:06, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
I noted in the BC Names source for Paldi, British Columbia that Doman Industries seems to have started there; I know someone from there (who I was in that HIST-436 course at SFU I've variously mentioned in discussions somewhere) so will check with him what books or other stuff he might know of; he's a Canadian-raised Sikh. Herb Doman and the Doman Scandal both need articles, the latter link may be a redirect to a section on William Richards Bennett at present, not sure.
Not related to Indo-Canadian society but concerning one of BC's most prominent Indo-Canadian business magnates and one of the largest forest companies of modern times:
The crossover between "politics" and "crime" again, as with the BC Rail scandal/Basi case above, and also with "commerce and business" requires that informed and careful input/expansion about this is needed, not blind pastiching of just any old quote about it, without context. Skookum1 ( talk) 05:19, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Quite bizarre that so many prominent names are not yet mentioned in either article, but then that's the fault of the narrow ranges of sources preferred by the instigator of these topics, and also the complete lack of familiarity on the community by same about BC history and society/politics. As with others named on this article, there is more than a lot of crossover with "Vancouver" content, serving as yet more demonstrations why the attempt to maintain that "Vancouver" is a separate topic from the whole province is a complete fallacy and OR.
Because of unpleasant experience with political activists/trolls on BC political articles in the past, I tend to stay away from working on such articles; but Heed needs to be mentioned here, and not in an idle or "pat" sort of way. His campaign staff's use of illegal in-Chinese campaign materials is a demonstration, also, of inter-ethnic politics that has nothing to do with discrimination against either group by "Whites"; somehow the academic types have little interest in this stuff; though the ethnic press DOES. But that would be partly because such stories do not fit the "narrative" that academic incest seems intent on building and furthering in the course of revisioning history to suit a soapbox view of BC history in termrs of "groups" and "white oppression/discrimination". Skookum1 ( talk) 05:34, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
All of the book reviews of Kamala Elizabeth Nayar's The Punjabis in British Columbia state that this book covers anti-Punjabi sentiment found in First Nations people during the post-World War II Punjabi immigration to places such as the Skeenas. When this article develops, use Nayar's book as a source and discuss how these feelings came to be. WhisperToMe ( talk) 17:17, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Nothing could prove to me more the uselessness of the citation that the author of this page has obsessed over than this:
What a load of HOGWASH. We're talking about 1907 here, and even today sawmill labour is at least as "Anglo-Canadian" (another imposition of an academic term by a scholar out of touch with British Columbia). The stilted writin aside, the "the sky is blue" citations and text here e.g. that most sawmill workers were mail, or t he RIDICULOUS claim that I-C women applied for government jobs believe private enterprise would discriminate against them in hiring, is so controversial that only one citation from one clearly-already-in-error source is just not enough.
There's much more to be fixed on this article but I'm aghast at some of the outright CRAP these page-cited overly footnoted passages of twaddle constitute; embarrassingly bad..... Skookum1 ( talk) 02:20, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
References that directly refute the information in Nayar should be supplied or else the info in Nayar's book is unchallenged. WhisperToMe ( talk) 18:43, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
