I am to add a little more inputs. --Bhadani 13:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I will continue the work. Other editors are requested to edit. Thanks. --Bhadani 14:15, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Have edited the first paragraph as requested, and added a note about the Whitbread Book Awards. --Harmonica 23:24, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

POV CHECK

For the paragraphs further down, they are too critically minded and need a little revision. I may get round to this later otherwise other authors are welcome to step in.--Harmonica 23:24, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, I do agree. --Bhadani 12:34, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the tag and placed a message on your talk page. I am to revise the few words. And, why you have stopped contributions? --Bhadani 13:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia - book title

The book title is quite near from the author's name.

With the letters SALMAN RUSHDIE you can write SHALIMAR DUNES (nudes or dunse, very close to dunce or clown). Personal research. --DLL 23:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't "dunse" an archaic spelling of "dunce". Not bad! heqs 21:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Shalimar.jpg

Image:Shalimar.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Critical Interpretations

Does this section really contain useful information? It doesn't seem to be saying much of anything at all, just that critics are apparently divided on whether or not Kashmir is "the theme" of the book (which seems like an uninteresting topic in and of itself). No reference is made to any such "critics." Can we just get rid of this section altogether? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Archaist (talk • contribs) 11:17, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I loaded the talk page with the same concern. If this section was sourced, interested parties might draw substance from the sources but as it is, it's quite useless. I'll delete if no one objects soon. Bustter (talk) 02:37, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
