@Nikkimaria: Some parts of this article are copied verbatim from this Indian Government source. A footnote states that "This article incorporates text from this source, which is in the public domain." so in reviewing this nomination I need to establish whether the source is in fact in the public domain. An edit summary states "(Government work published by or under the direction or control of the [Indian] government or any department of the government, is free from copyright ([1])), so I looked up the link given and it stated "In the case of a government work, government shall, in the absence of any agreement to the contrary, be the first owner of the copyright therein." It did not mention that Indian Government documents are in the public domain. So I am unsure whether the article is or is not an infringement of copyright, and I am asking for an expert opinion (ie Nikkimaria). Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:35, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
Indian government works are covered by copyright for 60 years from publication, unless explicitly released to the public domain - there's no indication that happened. See Chapter 28 of the Indian Copyright Act. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:38, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
