This is clearly a scholarly article both, the formatting and the language used indicate to me that the author is a credible source. Within the article the objective is clearly stated and then backed up with a clear methodology. We also found the article informative and useful.

When we compared the two articles we found the second one to provide much greater detail. With data to back up the statements made. Though, this detail did make the article very specific, making less useful for any subject that is not directly related to it. Such as, the first article stated that if you did not bathe then you would smell (Neer). This is a brood statement that can be easily related to by most people. Were the knowledge that only 37.1% of India’s rural youth bath daily (Singh, Gupta) would not ring home with many people in the US.
