Talk:Kolhapur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi All,

first of all, the number representing the population of kolhapur is grossly inaaccurate. It needs to be clearly mentioned if this is of city population or district. Even in case of city population, 4,19,000 is much smaller. I'm from kolhapur and lived in the city all my schooling thru higher education. Though I dont have the factual figures as of today, lets check and rectify this.

btw, happy to see article on kolhapur.

cheers -atul. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.126.245.198 (talk) 12:27, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Languages

It is said that the main languages of Kolhapur city are Marathi, Hindi and English. I am wondering if the person who made the statement has ever visited Kolhapur. Many people can speak Hindi and a few educated can speak English but only Marathi is used universaly for almost all purposes. --Sandipani 19:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Languages

Sandipani says Marathi is exclusively spoken in Kolhapur and even English and Hindi are sparingly used. Now, we have people adding Kannada to the List. I have removed this. There are only a few villages in Gadhinglaj Taluk that are kannada speaking. Kolhapur city might have a few, but come on, Kannada is not at all known to the general public. I request all Marathi Wikipedians to stop this 'Kar'-'Natak' vandalism. Please look at the page related to Solapur. They are talking as if Solapur as if it is stolen from Karnatak by Maharashtra. They haven't stopped at this; look at Pune page...it says though the main language is Marathi, English,Hindi,Gujarati,Kannada,Tulu are also spoken. Please stop this vandalism to the articles related to Maharashtrian cities

[edit] Lists of places, schools etc

Are not at all needed here. Wikipedia is not a dumping ground for purposeless data. Please give only information that need mention in an encylopedia. The lists can be externally linked ­ Kris (talk) 14:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Lists not required

Firstly, I am pretty sure there are more interesting facts about our wonderful city. The lists at the end of the article are a waste of space. Most are not linked and have no references. Many are just adverts. Most disappointed, please put ur views forward. Sugar mills in Kolhapur? I havent seen any, have you? Every single one of them is outside the city limits and should be considered under a 'Sugar Industry in Maharashtra' banner, not under Kop. Or may be a more specific 'District Wide' list. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Quork (talk • contribs) 13:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC).Quork 13:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

Create a page called "World Famous in Kolhapur" which can be a universal dumping ground for all this idiotic data and lists. This page can be ideal for lists like 'Famous Non Veg' or 'Famous rickshaw rear-window messages'

(u will only 'get' this message if u've ever lived in Kop)

[edit] Lists . . . AAAARGH

did u know, Shah Rukh Khan was born in Kolhapur too. Lets add him to the list. Salman Khan came to Kop once in 2001, he must be born there too. Lets add him. Or Mahesh Bhupati, or may be N Night Shamalan, he is def from there.(Ref. Famous Personalities from Kolhapur)
Oh! this is getting annoying, someone think of sorting this list situation soon. I m sure there is a way to conserve this information in a more orderly manner without deleting it all, even though how tempting it may sound. Quork 13:16, 11 January 2007 (UTC)



Dont forget take aswad of Pandhara Rassa u wont get like the same taste in all over india

[edit] Languages

Lot of Kannadigas are present in Kolhapur . Infact there are more number of Kannadigas there then Marathi speaking ones. Since the state language is Marathi it is not noticeable as Kannadigas never formed parties like MES which is formed in Belagavi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.82.52 (talk) 08:14, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kannada chavunism once again : when will this end

Please refer to this link http://nclm.nic.in/moredecl.asp?lnid=Declared%20Areas

This contains the state wise declaration of areas where linguistic minorities are more than 15 %. See Maharashtra state in this list, In kolhapur district only few parts of gadhinglaj taluk have significant kannada poulation. Kolhapur city (municipal corporation) is clearly not declared in this list.

I don't know what better proof you whan that kannada population in KOLHAPUR CITY is insignificant.

I just wonder that people who write this don't know anything about kolhapur. Just because of grudge related to belgaum you guys come in and vandalize all articles related to maharashtra cities.

As usual marathi wikipediens don't care or become silent spectators.

I am restoring the article to original. If restored, then I am sorry to say that "WIKIPEDIA GENERATES NOISE AND NOT KNOWLEDGE". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.91.193.5 (talk) 11:15, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
