Badly written and non-verifiable article on a supposedly high ranking terrorist in [[Babbar Khalsa]] terrorist group in [[India]]. I found no hits on google except some similar pages calling him '''shaheed''' (martyr). What useful information does this page convey ? His list of friends ? Not encyclopadeic enough.

*'''Delete''': I am sure he is/was never so notable to have an entry here. --[[User:Bhadani|Bhadani]] 14:21, 16 August 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::::I do agree with Nichalp fully, as the same thing happened in case of another article [[Vinodini Tarway]]. In case of the present page, my problem is different - I failed to find out the exact position. So my delete vote, perhaps recorded in haste, may please be treated as withdrawn. I would rather '''abstain'''. --[[User:Bhadani|Bhadani]] 14:07, 21 August 2005 (UTC) |

[[Robert Hoddle]] surveyed the area in 1837 and declared it the "Parish of Boroondara". The area was densely wooded, so he took a word from the [[Woiwurrung]] language (as spoken by the [[Wurundjeri]]), meaning "where the ground is thickly shaded". <ref>Boroondara City Council Local History and Heritage http://boroondara.mylithio.com/about/historyandheritage</ref> |
