Conflict of a cause of Kamala's death

First paragraph says "Kamala lived until 1929 when she died of typhoid fever"; but fourth paragraph says "Kamala died of an unknown illness at about the age of 17.", which conflicts with first paragraph. I've removed the latter temporary, since it was added later so somewhat seems wrong. --Tokigun 07:34, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As if to complicate matter the "Spawn of the Wolf Pack" in issue 17 of the Ripley's Believe it or Not comic (Dec 1969) claims Kamala answered the call of her wolf pack and ran off with them. It is unknown if this comic measures up to the same quality as the newspaper strips.--174.99.238.22 (talk) 11:24, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

History before becoming feral

Does anyone have information about how they ended up this way in the first place? Kemet 01:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Obviously, they were born like that. Kraxler 19:47, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Likely they were abandoned in the jungle due to their gender, as was a common practice for certain Indian tribes at that time. (Hawa 2008)

No, they were never abandoned. They lived in an enclosure and were given to Singh by somebody, as Singh himself related truthfully before he invented the whole wolf-story to get a little money out of it. Certainly not to enrich himself, though. He and his orphans were starving, and he thought it his duty to provide for them. It worked to a certain extent, but probably he had counted on more.

Tone Concern

This article seems to have been taken over and re-written by someone with an axe to grind, violating Wikipedia tone/neutrality standards, especially since no sources are given for any of the claims in the first paragraph, and only two in the next three paragraphs! The bulk of the article is devoted to the claims of a single author. This seems all seems off. Shouldn't the procedure be to summarise the most commonly known/famous story (I consider it famous, anyway,) in the opening so that people know they've got the correct article, and then note that controversies exist? Also, no mention is made in this article of the case having inspired the character of Mowgli in Kipling's The Jungle Book, which seems like a pretty glaring oversight. --H — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.198.203 (talk) 20:19, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article is fine as it is. If you think you can improve it, do so. Please add references/sources. Kraxler (talk) 22:32, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
