Price of the Modi Years
- ... that Price of the Modi Years states that India lost 20% of its workforce under Prime Minister Narendra Modi? Source: Aakar Patel: ‘Modi shrank India’s workforce by a fifth’ Hindu
- Reviewed: Exempt
- Comment: Working to expand the article.
Created by Venkat TL (talk). Self-nominated at 07:16, 21 December 2021 (UTC).
Article is new enough and long enough. Hook is interesting and within prescribed limits. Image of book cover is fair use and will not appear on WP front page in the DYK section. Sources check. Earwig dup detector shows no close paraphrasing to speak of. Good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:45, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Venkat TL and Gwillhickers: Hi there! I think there's room to the book's sarcastic quip in the hook here:
- ... that according to Price of the Modi Years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi "has not received due credit" for shrinking India's workforce by a fifth?

- Since the article/hook has already been approved, I'll leave that up to Venkat TL We might simply want to mention that in the lede, again, if Venkat TL thinks the statement is ledeworthy. Of course I suppose you're free to make such an edit. I've no objections. Cheers. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:15, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- theleekycauldron, thank you for the ALT, I think it is even better than what I had proposed. I prefer your alt over mine. Gwillhickers, it is already added in the section on Content. I have no objections to any of the ALTs. Venkat TL (talk) 09:52, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
I'm going to put this on hold while this and another nomination are up for discussion at WT:DYK. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 11:02, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Theleekycauldron The discussion appears to be over. SL93 (talk) 07:20, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- @SL93 and Venkat TL: Well, the article does have a lot of substantial content now, but the book's arguments are still posed in Wikipedia's voice. That should probably be cleared up first theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 07:22, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron and Venkat TL: I tried to see if I could fix the article, but the seventh reference under the content section isn't about the book. I think it should be removed. SL93 (talk) 14:24, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Are you referring to this link [1]? Frontline is a reputed Indian political magazine from The Hindu. This article is about the book where the author is discussing the book's content. Venkat TL (talk) 14:28, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- I know that the source is reliable, but the article only says "Interview with Aakar Patel, author of ‘Price of the Modi Years’." I can see that it is an interview about the same issue, but I see nothing that says that the specific content in the interview is in the book. Maybe a proper place for that information would be in a background section. SL93 (talk) 14:33, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

- yeah, this works! I'll make some tweaks during prep, but this is good to go. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 00:05, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
