question

[edit]

Whispyhistory Philafrenzy Nothing that affects DYK, but I'm not sure what this means and can't get to the source myself to check and make an edit:

Swarup announced "Hua". Unable to quote "female", she announced a generic child (Indira), a grandchild had been born

I think it's saying she was unable to bring herself to announce the birth of a female child, and so she said "Hua" to indicate a generic grandchild had been born? Does hua mean grandchild? And surely the name Indira doesn't translate to generic child? --valereee (talk) 10:56, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi..Hua translates to "its happened"- Hindi. Your deduction "I think it's saying she was unable to bring herself to announce the birth of a female child," is correct. I can clarify it from the source which I have a paper copy of, but its not with me right now. I wrote generic to mean child rather than female or male....change it if you can think of a better way to write it.Whispyhistory (talk) 11:34, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article says that Swarup Rani was born into a Kashmiri Muslim family. This is not true. Her father was Manohar Lal Thussu. Her brother was Rai Bahadur Premnath Thussu. Her sisters were Rajvati Kaul and Sebapati Kaul.
