- Drive-by comment: I added the translation of the title, but the hook really isn't that hooky. Yoninah (talk) 18:39, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah:, Mahatma Gandhi is a popular major figure in relation to politics and philosophy so readers may wonder about a poem reviewed by him. I found it the most hooky. -Nizil (talk) 16:46, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- And the most interesting fact is that, this review is the only literary piece written by Gandhi. --Gazal world (talk) 16:50, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, that would be a more interesting hook fact, Gazal world. As it stands, though, the hook is just name-dropping a famous person who "reviewed" it. How about adding more color to the hook? Like:
- ALT1: ... that Mahatma Gandhi praised the Gujarati poem "Amar Asha" ("Immortal Hope"), saying that both Hindus and Muslims "should be proud of it"? Dwivedi, Manilal (2000) [1895]. "મિતાક્ષરી".

New enough, long enough. The hook needs citing. There appear to be unsourced statements in the article. --evrik (talk) 05:14, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Evrik: Reference has been added now. Thanks. --Gazal world (talk) 06:04, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
