#REDIRECT Varanasi
I rephrased a lot of this to make it (to my eyes) flow more smoothly; please change it back if you don't like it. (I thought I was logged in but maybe not.) A couple of things: * Does it make sense to have two pages, Benares and Varanasi? - the second currently consists of the fact that Varanasi has a locomotive factory. * 'interfered with' (the ghats) sounds odd to me, but I don't know what exactly they (the ministry) did so I've left it alone. Is my definition of ghats okay by the way? --User:Shaydon 14:15 29 May 2003 (UTC) Kaysov: (a very minor point) - I think some of our edits here are examples of the differences between British and Indian English. In Britain we'd usually say 'cause damage to', but in India perhaps 'cause a damage to' is more common? I'm certainly not demanding this page should be in British rather than Indian English, I just found it interesting having some vague interest in languages. Anyway if my ''the''s sound wrong to you (''the'' ministry, ''the'' Ganga) you should probably delete them again - it's better to be consistent. --User:Shaydon ---- The article says that Benaras was a seat of learning by 700 BC, and this was after the establishment of Takshashila as a Buddhist centre. I thought that Buddhism was founded after c. 500 BC with the birth of Siddhartha Gautama. Before that, how could there be a Buddhist university?
Gokul == regarding the structure of page == : User:Anupamsr I dont think there is any need to add schools or the list will keep increasing == Wonder of the world? == How is Benaras a wonder of the world? User:Alren 17:08, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC) Please add sections on the following * Silk art of Kashi - sarees * Bismillah Khan and other famous singers of Hindustani style * visit of Shankaracharya, maneesha panchakam * Raja Harishchandra * Ghats of Kashi - manikarnika, dashashwamedha etc * Indian National Congress conference - Gandhiji's speech * Further reading * Goddess Annapoorna, diety of food * Gautama Buddha and his encounters with the pandits of Kashi and his sermons there * Importance of Kashi to Jains User:Ramashray == Added stuff == I felt not enough emphasis was put on Benaras as a cultural centre of northern India so I added a few lines. I also added Saaree and Carpet cottage insutries in the industry section. I think we also need to add more photos. I think the opening paragraph still needs a lot of work to express the true essence of Benaras as a whole. It is the most important part of the whole page. Comments and suggestions ? Saurabh Kabra
