The list consists of normally - names, parentage, wife, children, maybe brothers and sisters, and any other important worth to know information about the person. One may find some contradictory information at some places because of collecting it from different sources. Wherever it is possible the source is given, but sometimes it is not possible, because these are not review articles and it is not possible to give all references for all tiny bits of information. I apologize for that.There are 5 lists of sketches - General,  Bhakt (devotees),  Sant (saints), Authors/Poets,   Foreign Sketches-2 These sketches contain the names of Historical people,   Religious saints, some Foreign characters and some other important names.   Locations Names of many places, rivers, and mountains are given here with their references.   History This section gives lots of background information and many historical facts about India since ancient times, Bauddh Dharm, Jain Dharm, Islaam, Sikh, British staff etc   Literature This section provides with a bird's eye view of India's Hindi, Sanskrit, plus a little bit (selected) English and Foreign literature.
