Dear All,
It is very disturbing to see this kind of language for a past president of Wikimedia Foundation's India Chapter! I do not want to go into merits of stands each one are having (for the sake of argument, let's even believe that Sudhanwa sir is wrong here), but this kind of language is not our heritage is for sure!
This could have been said in a better way too without accusations (please note once we start accusing, we cannot cry foul when another person accuses us in return). I strongly condemn all these baseless accusations. I know Sudhanwa sir in person and it will take many lives for us to understand his greatness and his contribution to Wikipedia and Open Source movement! (BTW he is pioneer of FOSS activities in Pune). He is so great that I also do not know his greatness in totality. I have understood it in bits and pieces these things indirectly, because he does not tell them by his own mouth.
This kind of thinking (pacifying) is definitely not mine and I have learned it from Mahatma Gandhi from his book titled 'My Non Violence' which can be found on this link. It is freely available in public domain. I strongly suggest people to read.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Yours sincerely,
