Dr Bhagyashri Ranade / Madhuri Raut, Would you object to revealing and acknowledging the true sources from where you have copied this information and signed with your own name?
This negligence on your part is particularly unjustifiable in light of what you have pledged just a couple of days earlier. On the 26th of Jan., 2012, you wrote: "I will surely cite all the references for the information I write in my future posts". There is nothing in this information that is authored by Dr B. Ranade / Madhuri Raut. In fact, the bulk of the data in her message has been copied *verbatim et literatim* from Wikipedia. And the Wikipedia contributors have indeed footnoted the data with due acknowledgment of the references.
