I note there is a seperate article on Devadasis which mentions Karnatika so the information can go there. My source was the Operation World (website) but I note the BBC and Newsweek also have articles, though the extent of the problem is a matter of some dispute it seems. Admittedly the economy wasn`t the ideal place but money seems to be changing hands so... I am sorry to add something negative but I felt the issue merited wider awareness..Andycjp 9th June 2005
- Thank you for your prompt action, This page could do with a lot of attention, but to achieve a FA status (some day), It will require references and good sectioning.--IMpbt 16:08, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Four southern states?
The article on South India says there are five States: Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andra Prahesh and Goa; but this article says there are only four? I don't feel that I know enough about India or Misplaced Pages to change it myself. Should this be changed to five? Harry
- And obviously Karnataka --BostonMA 13:37, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
