Recent edit by 94.98.109.177

There has been a recent edit by the IP 94.98.109.177 which added a ton of information to the article. Even though I am no familiar with the subject it appears that most of it is unsourced and maybe biased. Please review and add references (especially the author of the edit).

Purge

I had added some sourced content related to Kashmiri Hindus on this page. see intro in this edit. It has been purged. Does it go back or not? DTM (talk) 15:42, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am going ahead and restoring it, as well as deleting the list of names added. The names themselves are not notable (that is none have an article) DTM (talk) 15:47, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Too much

There is too much Hindu Muslim Muslim Hindu in this article. Editing is needed. DTM (talk) 15:52, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article still undergoing stabilization

Article still undergoing stabilization. Example, instead of 'rioters', 'protestors' has been added by a user. I added:

The Government of Pakistan still marks the day through tweets.

It became:

The Government of Pakistan still marks the day as National Day.

I changed it to:

The Government of Pakistan still marks the day.

A number of phrases and lines need addressing like this. DTM (talk) 15:59, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Number killed

The article says 21 were martyred, but the cited sources say 22 or even 24. Is there a consistent and reliable source for this number and can it be clearly explained?

Pov pushing

The article states in the lead section

On the other hand, Kashmiri Hindus observe the events of July 1931 as the beginning of their oppression, which would reach a peak with the exodus in 1990. For Kashmiri Hindu organisations, the ethnic cleansing of Hindus had begun with the arrival of Muslim rule in the region. For them, the real victims are not the Kashmiri Muslims who died on 13 July 1931 but those Kashmiri Hindus who were "victims of communal carnage".

I am removing this; anyone wishing to restore it should first verify what source say.^[1] Aliyiya5903 (talk) 18:50, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kashmiri Pandit organizations, on the other hand, commemorated July 13 as 'Black Day', describing the events of July 1931 as 'the beginning of the first organised genocide of Kashmiri Pandits', that culminated in the mass exodus of the community in 1990. Focusing on the importance of setting the historical record straight to prevent 'the distortion of the history of Kashmir', the speakers during these events argued that the 'ethnic cleansing' of Kashmiri Pandits had begun with the advent of Muslim rule in Kashmir and continued into the present. Thus for them, the real martyrs were not the Kashmiri Muslims who died in 1931 or those who are dying on the streets of Kashmir today, but rather the 'Kashmiri Pandit victims of communal carnage'. {{cite book}}: line feed character in |quote= at position 738 (help)
