Date of Death: January 28th or 29th?

[edit]

This obituary states "With the passing of Professor Radha Champakalakshmi on January 28, 2024, we have lost a historian of JNU who..." This news article states that she died on Monday, which is January 29th. Which date was it? --PFHLai (talk) 13:16, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PFHLai: I believe it was the night of January 28th, and into the morning of January 29th. Ktin (talk) 15:50, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I thought so, too. And there's no way to tell if it was before and after midnight. --PFHLai (talk) 05:11, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • ... New enough, long enough, QPQ provided. Copyvio around 24% due to titles so okay. Article reads well and I AGF on all her studies mentioned. Well referenced. Hook is clear in the article and in the following citation to a reference containing the hook fact. I read The Discovery of India many years ago and have it in front of me, though never knew about the TV series. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:55, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
