[edit] Complaint

This is a really shameful page. You make India look like this evil country, like its one of those Communistic or demorcratic country. Every country in the world has some form of corruption. Bust most of the conflicts you mention from places like Assam, Punjab, Manipur, these are all things that are started by hardcore fanatic terrorist groups.

  • Then please, add your information on these hardcore fanatic terrorist groups into the article, because that's what it's all about. We do not try to make countries look bad, but instead we try to keep a Neutral Point Of View. Edit it to try to make it more NPOV. Thanks. PeregrineAY 00:42, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Well this intro sentence caught my eye:

"The perpetrators of terrorism have been members of armed opposition groups as well as state agencies." State agencies?? What state agencies? Where is your proof? Where is the substantification of such a bold claim? Are you implying that the India government is secretly fomenting terrorism on it's own soil? Wow! They're really smart. I only wish they were that competent to do anything right! If you're implying that the Pakistani ISI (a state agency) is involved, then please mention so specifically. Bear in mind that there is little concrete evidence to suggest such a thing (they're sly devils, that bunch). You should mention that to maintain NPOV. I'll edit it accordingly for now. If you want to make changes, reply to this post and explain why. Subhash Bose

I had to revert a copyvio that included unattributed text from at least two external sources:

There may be more, I gave up after finding two. Rl 17:31, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

I appreciate the fact that you are so much concerned about copyvios. But one advise, It would have been better if you could also contribute apart from reverting the works done by me. --IncMan 15:42, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
I would really appreciate if people like you didn't make me waste my time tracking down copyvios. Thank you so much. Rl 16:36, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Well, if gathering information from some sites is a copyright violation, then prehaps only God can help you. --IncMan 12:02, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
Bold words for someone who tried to create featured articles by lifting material from BBC articles. You know very well that I was talking about literal copying, not the gathering of information. Rl 12:39, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I see no wrong in doing that. Both the articles, Terrorism in India and Terrorism in Kashmir, no longer contain any such material copyied from any source. --IncMan 13:46, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Issues"

The following statements are very POV

  • They feared that NSCN would propel insurgent activities in its state and hence demanded New Delhi to wipe them out instead of appeasing them.
  • In the late 1980s, indigenous assamese movements demanded the withdrawal of the Bengali people who had infiltrated into Assam from neighbouring Bangladesh.
  • The detoriating situation compelled New Delhi to intervene, following which it deployed troops along the Indo-Bangla border to check on illegal infiltration.
  • However, human rights activists constantly blame New Delhi for adopting extremely harsh methods in dealing with these insurgents.
  • The comment Assam remains the only state in the northeast where terrorism is still a major issue. Indian military was sucessfull in dismantling terrorist outfits in other areas. However, human rights activists constantly blame New Delhi for adopting extremely harsh methods in dealing with these insurgents. belongs in the Assam section.

A lot of this information seems supect...freestylefrappe 21:03, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

The above mentioned statements are facts and facts are not necessarily neutral. Mentioning facts in an encylopedia is more important than maintaining neutrality. However, the language in which these sentences are written can be changed to suit all. Providing apporiate sources for all the info in the article is a pending task and I will do that once I get the time to do so. To end, please sign yr messages by typing ~~~~.

sorry I forgot to sign my Username. You cant seriously call "infiltrating" an NPOV fact. ill try to maintain factual accuracy and neutrality but some of this may need to be cut. freestylefrappe 21:03, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
Made appropriate changes. freestylefrappe 04:39, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)
Thousands of Bangladeshis enter Indian territory w/o Indian govt's approval. Such people are called as infiltrators and the usage of the term "infiltration" is justified in my eyes. If you still object its neutrality, please suggest a better alternative. Please go ahead and make necessary changes. Thanks. --IncMan June 28, 2005 11:47 (UTC)

[edit] Pro-Indian Bias

This article seems to be a press release of Indian Government. There is a need to balance this article.

Hundreds of thousands people have died in these conflicts. These conflicts cannot be classified as low intensity. Thousands of Sikhs were killed in a day after the assassination of Indian Prime Minister, Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi. These articles are showing contempt towards the innocent civilians who were killed by terrorists.

How terrorism in India can be classified as low intensity? Two Indian Prime Ministers were killed in terrorism related incidents by Indian homegrown terrorists. These terrorists were not Muslims.

And wow, what an utterly useless post. Your knowledge of India is limited if you think this is a 'pro' india article. I will make a wild guess that your are pakistani. BTW, India has long considered that pakistan supported the Khalistan movement, which ended right after the kashmir militancy began.




This page needs to remain factual, and favor nor disfavor any sides.

[edit] Let the facts speak

The MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base should help clear up some of the disputes and controversies on this page. Here's a list of terrorist incidents that took place in India between January 1, 2000, and July 27, 2006. I'd say there were quite a few.
