[rti4empowerment] "Motilal Nehru born 11 months after his father's death"- says Wikipedia [1 Attachment]

We all know the historical relevance of Motilal Nehru but none of us know that Motilal Nehru was born eleven months after the death of his father. We know that birth of a child eleven months after the death of his father is not possible. But anyone who goes through the page related with Motilal Nehru on Internet based open dictionary Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motilal_Nehru)  will only learn such a fact. Today when, me and wife Dr Nutan Thakur, were going through Wikipedia, we also saw the same strange fact written there.

Then we studied the history of this page to find that this page was created on 28 July 2011 at 12:26 by some person with code name Ekabhishek. He later amended this page on the same day at 16.10 where he added the fact that Motilal Nehru was born 3 months after the death of his father Gangadhar Nehru. It was later on 28 December 2011at 08:38 that some person with Codename Lovysinghal changed this period to eleven months, which still exists on Wikipedia.

We consider this act rather offensive and disgusting and have written to the Secretary, Home, Government of India to order a suitable enquiry into the matter and take initiate appropriate action against this person who has done this deliberately mischievous act.

This also presents a big question mark over the relevance and use/misuse of Internet sources like Wikipedia which can be so easily distorted for nefarious and ulterior purposes, thus making it be presented as gospel truth.
