I see that this article has reverted into an essay pasted from an external source, with named authors. I've tagged it for cleanup. --Mereda 16:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article has not reverted to a copyrighted source, it has been EXPLICITLY published online by its original authors after obtaining the requisite permissions. Please do not keep tampering with it. -- Shekhar

Also, this is NOT the original essay cited in the beginning of the article, but a modified version created for Wikipedia. Shekhar

Needs wikification and cleanup[edit]

I wikified the article to some extent, but it still reads like an eulogy more than an encyclopedia entry. Also a wikipedia article not have an author's note. I have therefore moved the note here for future reference:

This article was originally published as “Rajnarayan Chandavarkar (1953-2006): An Intellectual Biography” in Economic and Political Weekly, Mumbai, June 2006 and is published here in modified form with the kind permission of the original authors and publishers.

Appropriate?[edit]

It's sad that he died so young, but I doubt an entry of such length and hagiographic tone is justified. HIs work was surely no more significant than thousands of similar past and present researchers who don't have Wikipedia entries (or at least ones this preening). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.141.18 (talk) 10:41, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is linked to a page on Southeast Asia historians. Only one problem -- he was a historian of South Asia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.117.249 (talk) 02:12, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
