>>Gerard is trying to understand Indian culture in good faith. He has made some assumptions that he is keen to explore. May I request that we please discuss maturely without getting offended? We need to not only AGF but be CIVIL also.

Unfortunately Gerard's attempt at understanding resulted in a official wikimedia blog post and might result in WMF taking a path that has a potential to damage indic wikis badly. He has written this from his position as a WMF employee.  If tomorrow this translates this into official WMF policy, we cant stop the clock back. We know this from previous experience from the i18n team.

The aggressive/offended tone in a couple of posts on this thread distresses me. I humbly request that all respondents may please tone down any agression you may feel. Gerard is trying to understand Indian culture in good faith. He has made some assumptions that he is keen to explore. May I request that we please discuss maturely without getting offended? We need to not only AGF but be CIVIL also. The same points can also be made politely.

Warm regards,
