*'''''Plagiarism by the [[Times of India]]''''': Recently it was noticed that the [[Times of India]], the world's largest distribution daily had systematically plagiarised many of Wikipedia's biographies on members of the [[Indian cricket team]] among other cricketers on its website, sometimes with errors propagated ([[User:Blnguyen/Times of India|details]]). After [[Wikipedia_talk:Notice_board_for_India-related_topics/archive22#Times_of_India|discussion]] and [[Wikipedia_talk:Notice_board_for_India-related_topics/Archive_23#After_Times_of_india.2C_it_is_Vijay_Times|discovery of further plagiarisms in other fields]], the issue reached the [[WP:AN|admin noticeboard]] [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive77#Repeated_and_blatant_Plagiarism_by_Times_of_India_and_its_subsidiaries|archived here]].

*'''''Jimbo's visit to India and the WikiCamp in [[Chennai]]''''': Jimbo recently visited [[India]] in late February and early March on wiki work. This included a trip to a WikiCamp in [[Chennai]]. The one day conference attracted 300 participants from across India and beyond dealt with issues facing wikis ([http://wikicamp.in/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page]). It was widely covered by the press, eg [[The Hindu]]( [http://www.hindu.com/2007/02/26/stories/2007022607290400.htm]), which cited the efforts of [[User:Bhadani|Bhadani]] (edit count), [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] (leadership on [[:ta|Tamil Wikipedia]]) and [[User:Ganeshk|Ganeshk]] (Creation of [[User:Ganeshbot|Ganeshbot]] to create articles on Indian towns from census figures). Ganeshk himself travelled from [[California]] to attend the conference.

*'''''Wikipedia Weekly 15''''': Wikipedia Weekly, a informal Wikipedians' program that purports to give "A weekly audio roundup of Wikipedia happenings with news, interviews and roundtable discussions" recently interviewed two prominent editors [[User:Rama's Arrow|Rama's Arrow]] and [[User:Ragib|Ragib]]([http://wikipediaweekly.com/2007/03/14/wikipedia-weekly-15/ listen]). The entire 34 minute interview was entirely about the world of Indian subcontinent wiki-happenings, and was the first episode which was not entirely dominated by discussion of wiki-politics and wiki-bureaucracy, with the host [[User:Witty lama|Witty lama]] praising the efficiency of the project and its proliferation of [[WP:FA|featured]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Featured and good content|content]]. Rama's Arrow cited the team spirit, friendship and respect among project members in discussing its success and FA productivity, as well as discussing subcontinental wiki-conflict. Ragib talked also of his public campaign to raise awareness of the [[:bn|Bengali Wikipedia]] in his native [[Bangladesh]], which has seen a 30-fold increase in article count over the past year.

*'''''Arbitration''''': Three cases are either in progress or have recently ended.
**[[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan]] regarding the activities of various Indian and Pakistani editors on pages related to [[Indian subcontinent]] [[history of India|history]] topics, the national status of various pre-[[Partition of India|Partition]] figures, and edit-warring over [[Indic script]]s and WikiProject tags was held and concluded in late February- early March. As a result of this, four Pakistani users, [[User:Siddiqui|Siddiqui]], [[User:Szhaider|Szhaider]], [[User:Nadirali|Nadirali]] and [[User:Unre4L|Unre4L]] were all banned for one year for disruption via edit-warring and confrontationalism.
**[[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Sathya Sai Baba 2]] regarding a dispute over the article of the [[Sathya Sai Baba|religious teacher]] closed in early March with four users indefinitely banned from the article.
**Currently, [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Freedom_skies]] is in the [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Freedom_skies/Evidence|evidence phase]]. It is concerned with the editing of Freedom_skies, who edits articles on ancient Indian history, primarily civilisation articles such as [[Indian mathematics]] and related articles, as well as [[Buddhism]] articles such as [[Pusyamitra Sunga]], as well as those pertaining to the propagation of [[Mahayana Buddhism]] to [[China]] such as [[Bodhidharma]] and [[Zen]].
