Similar pushing of "alternative names" of historical Indian states, close name to sockmaster.

Admitted to socking here, confirmed by other account here. Given that this went undetected, I think a sleeper check is warranted. Perhaps there is the option of a hardblock as well.

• Self-admitted sock blocked and tagged. --Yamla (talk) 10:59, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Since they were asking how to better evade detection next time on their talk, I thought it prudent to run a check. HindSindh is  Confirmed to the master, and I've also blocked ParulUniverse and IndianRome. Girth Summit _(blether) 13:52, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
