Sarkarverse: Difference between revisions

Sarkarverse was founded in October 2013 by [[Acarya]] [[Abhidevananda Avadhuta]]. In early 2013 Abhidevananda and few other editors were working in Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar related articles in Wikipedia (English). There their a series of articles were challenged and finally deleted or merged for lack of [[SV:Secondary sources|secondary sources]]. After the incident, Abhidevananda almost left Wikipedia and stored all the articles from Wikipedia in the website [[onlyhis.name]].
