Move to Indian Antarctic Programme

Unless someone has a serious contention with this, I will be moving the article to "Indian Antarctic Programme" in a week's time, since that is the proper name of the programme. Getsnoopy (talk) 19:02, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Use of honorifics and MOS

In the section Indian_Antarctic_expeditions, the shortened version of the honorific Shri is prefixed to some names, for example, "Sh Arun Chaturvedi" and "sh.Ajay Dhar". These honorifics are the Indian equivalent of writing Mr Arun Chaturvedi and Mr Ajay Dhar, which is not in keeping with the Wikipedia Manual of Style (MOS). Hence, these honorifics should be removed. -- Rohini (talk) 11:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
