Talk:Veerappan

The what?

BR Hills-MM Hills-Sathyamangalam-Gundiyal? Please don't use acronyms, thanks. Adraeus 03:19, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Timeline

The article says he killed his infant child in July 1993 but the timeline says 1997. Which is right? Martyman 02:49, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps they were seperate children. Gedca 04:53, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

'Baby' Veerappan was the name of a gang member, it does not refer to Veerappan's daughter. Baby Veerappan was called so probably because he was young and slotted to take over the leadership of the gang. Jay 14:22, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

my 2 cents

To clarify the following....

BR Hills-MM Hills-Sathyamangalam-Gundiyal....... BR hills - Billigiri Ranganna hills MM hills - Malai Mahadeswara hills all of these are different regions in the forest range which spans over 3 states i.e. karnataka, Tamilnadu and kerala

Veerappan being loved by the poor is a part of his survival program. In his support system were also the villagers who were the only ones that could supply veerappan and gang with all the provisions like food, sanitary supplies. As a reward they would be rewarded with money. They were also terrified by him as was very ruthless and would not hesitate to kill in case anyone leaked any information. So more than being like robinhood i think this was a by-product of the the support system.

Why was he liked by India's poor? If anyone knows anything of this, it would be good to add it to the article. Otherwise, it looks like a great article.

Robin Hood comparison

The comparison between Robin Hood and Veerappan is a contentious one, and therefore I've put the term 'Robin Hood of India' in quotes to reflect this.

Extreme Bias

Someone made very biased edits to parts of this article, saying that the Indian government is corrupt, covered up the scandal, and killed a hostage to make Veerappan look bad. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Exander (talk • contribs) 04:53, 12 May 2007 (UTC).

Removing WikiProject templates

Dineshkannambadi, please stop removing the WikiProject Dravidian civilizations and WikiProject Tamil civilizations templates. Furthermore these are not fake templates, but templates of actual WikiProjects. Wiki Raja (talk) 03:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

How is Veerappan related to Dravidian civilization? - KNM ^Talk 18:37, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

He is a Dravidian just like you... Wiki Raja (talk) 03:19, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Stop talking about me and making original research on me and Veerappan. Provide a reliable source for your claims, else just stop this nonsense of claiming me of a civilization of a notorious criminal. Next time you do that, you will be reported to an admin. Consider this as a warning. - KNM ^Talk 03:59, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Consider this as a warning and chill out before I go to admin to report your racist attitude toward Tamils and other Dravidians! Wiki Raja (talk) 12:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

KNM, can you explain why you removed the Tamil civilization WikiProject off of this article? Are you claiming that there is no such civilization ? Surely, I am not here then ? Watchdogb (talk) 01:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Let us not take this discussion out of context. We are not here to discuss what is my civilization or your civilization.

I removed the Tamil and Dravidian cililization wikiproject templates, because it is not shown how Veerappan belongs to either or both of those civilizations. As you can see above, I have asked for reliable sources that we can refer for this discussion, but none have been provided yet. - KNM ^Talk 22:03, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

So, if Veerapan is not a Tamil, then he must be a Kannadiga. Am I right, because that's what your comment implies. Wiki Raja (talk) 23:00, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Veerapan is Tamil. So when did wikipedia turn into "revert before discuss"? All that was needed to be done is ask for citation and not revert and delete the Tamil wikiproject. Thanks very Watchdogb (talk) 23:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

The citation you have provided doesnot talk anything about "Tamil civilization" or "Dravidian civilization". "Veerappan is Tamil" does not prove anything about the civilizations. If those templates need to remain in this talk page, you will need to clearly establish the relationship between the subject of the article with the so-called civilization(s). Please do not uncomment the commented templates, while this discussion is in progress. - KNM ^Talk 07:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
