POV Pushing[edit]

I have edited this article. Some of the previous information were absolutely wrong. The source of information is http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/india/rgt-madras.htm and the numerous other government websites. The glorious heritage of the madrasis/tamils have been expalined clearly.

Don't use Wiki for POV pushing. Thanks. Axxn (talk) 01:59, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not doing "POV pushing". You are doing POV pushing.

The source of my information is

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/india/rgt-madras.htm

I kindly request you to modify the contents appropriately. If you are not willing to change the contents then I will report to the editor with the actual information. Please be neutral in your approach.

"The four great kingdoms of Chalukyas, Cholas, Pandiyas and Cheras ruled various parts of South India till the end of 9th Century AD. Medieval India saw the rise of the Cholas whose empire extended from West Bengal in the east to south of Bombay in the west and covering the entire South India less the Cheras in Travancore and encompassing the islands of Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Cambodia and Sumatra. The soldiers of the Madras Regiment are the descendants of the Pallavas, Cholas, Pandiyas, Telugus and Cheras whose history of valour is unparalleled. "

What sort of rubbish is this? How are the Chalukyas and such things related to the Madras regiment, which was created by the British East India Company? And for your kind information. The Madras here refers to the "Madras Presidency" and not Chennai. Out of the 20 battallions, 10 were from Mysore, 4 from Malabar and 3 from Travancore-Cochin. And you are editing that the Regiment is "Tamil" speaking. "soldiers of the Madras Regiment are the descendants of the Pallavas"..... that is the joke of the century. 99% of them would have never even heard the word Pallava.

If you are saying that Tamils constitute the majority of the recruits, then why they contribute just 2.3% of the IMA officers? (Against 5.26% of Kerala & 3.02% of Karnataka) ?

Also see Table-1 here. Recruits from Kerala makeup 5.38% of all recruits in Indian army. (Compared to 5.09% from Tamil Nadu). Still you think Tamils make up the majority in Madras Regiment? Axxn (talk) 11:18, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dude what nonsense are you talking? The report you have given in from 1987. And the article itself says that majority of the recruits are Tamil speaking followed by Malayalam, and that the orders are mostly given in Tamil. Stop being biased. None of the Indian regiment is regional language speaking all of them are English. But it is the language of the recruits that is being said here. Most recruits in Madras regiment belong to Tamil later followed by Kerala. And the high percentage of Tamils make the officers train and give them orders in Tamil, just like punjabi in sikh or gorkali in ghorka regiment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.75.82.151 (talk) 19:17, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
