Not sure if you have noticed, all the 3 female Wikipedians voted for [[Dance in India]] instead of [[A. P. J. Abdul Kalam]] ...
With Women's History Month approaching, I am negating my vote of preferred choice :D
-TC
I believe its still a tie, should we flip a coin? ;)

The INCOTM for Feb has two candidates exactly matched - [[Dance in India]] or [[A.P.J. Abdul Kalam]] with ten votes each.
Please vote here for one of the two:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics#Please_suggest.2Fvote_for_INCOTM_-_February_2012
Of the two, I nominated Dance in India because we are focussing far too much on personalities & biographies - we already had three so far - Manmohan Singh, Premchand and Gandhi. Whereas "Dance in India" is a very high importance topic to India and it really sucks.
On the other hand, Kalam is a very popular figure. So please choose wisely and let the vox populi prevail.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

2012/1/30 <wheredevelsdare@hotmail.com>Slightly off topic, something new on this months INCOTM-GA (Gandhi)- http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Mahatma-Gandhi-creates-fresh-record-in-Guinness-Book/articleshow/11674981.cms
Also, as you probably know, there are 2 sirens within a minutes gap that go off on the morning of 30 Jan every year (yes, I heard it this morning and remembered). This is the 2 minute silence supposed to be maintained in honour of the father of the nation on his death anniversary. Just after independence, people used to strictly follow this, to the extent that people would stop their cars in the middle of the road, get out and stand in silence. However, hardly anyone follows this today. I cant find a citation for this - can anyone please chip in?
