There are certain facts which are ignored. It needs a thorough check. Anshumansolan (talk) 09:54, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Reliable Source Requirements

Hi! My edit including a reference to a Pakistani politician in exile was reverted by User:SerChevalerie for not having a reliable source about his opinion. I cited a news article (not the most professional outlet, admittedly), that cited a tweet where he made his opinion clear. I know this is a contentious topic; can someone explain what the issue is a little more so I can figure out if it's fixable? Heliopolisfirebirdii (talk) 13:54, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Heliopolisfirebirdii, please see WP:RS. SerChevalerie (talk) 14:46, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Seconding SerChevalerie, much has been written on this topic by good sources. To include content in the article we require top-notch sourcing.--Hippeus (talk) 11:09, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Demand for Hindu Rashtra and alienation of Muslims from India

According to Neeti Nair, author of Changing Homelands: Hindu Politics and the Partition and associate professor of South Asian history at the University of Virginia in the USA, the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the National Register of Citizens represent steps towards a “Hindu Rashtra” that should be “summarily dismissed both by the people and by the courts”. Similar views were expressed by social activists such as Harsh Mander and Indira Jaising. Several non-BJP leaders such as Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and AIADMK leader Kanimozhi also expressed the same apprehension. Indian newspaper National Herald termed the Act as a proximity to the nightmare of a Hindu Rashtra. The Caravan magazine described it as just a step towards a Hindu Rashtra. On the other hand, foreign media such as The Japan Times termed the Act as "Modi's project to make a Hindu India".

These fears gained further momentum when Mahant Paramhans Das, a prominent activist of the Ram Janmabhoomi movement embarked on the first stir in October 2020 in the form of a fast unto death with his followers in the holy Hindu city of Ayodhya to declare India a Hindu Rashtra and called for the mass exodus of Indian Muslims to Pakistan. Das had lead similar fasts when the movement for Ram Janmabhoomi at Ayodhya was active a few years back. He was forcibly evacuated by the Uttar Pradesh Police within days after this move. However, his followers protested the police intervention as the government gave no assurance to heed to the core demands.

• Support Thanks Hindustanilanguage for your input. However the words like Holy and prominent need to be removed. These aren't inline with our WP:NPOV policy. Else, I don't see any problem in getting this section included in the article. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 21:12, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
• The first paragraph requires some copyediting, but is substantively okay. The second is not, and the section title is not. The sources for the second paragraph are nowhere near as weighty, and also do not make the connection to the CAA, meaning its inclusion here is WP:OR. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:33, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
