In the India subsection, under the Asia section, please add this, "On 27th August, 2024, a temple was vandalised in Hyderabad.[1] Prior to this, the US consul general visited Asaduddin Owaisi's house in Hyderabad.[2]" AlBaluchi1 (talk) 16:34, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- You can add, "There was a massive protest after the vandalism and there is evidence that the men who vandalised the temple were Owaisi's men.[3][4]".-AlBaluchi1 (talk) 16:58, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

This article shows a problematic over-reliance on Indian sources, some of which seem to be WP:BIASED and/or WP:QUESTIONABLE, which I think fails WP:IS. So before I start removing some of them, pinging @Vanamonde93 just to be sure I'm not being overly cautious. StarkReport (talk) 04:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- A source should not be removed just because it is Indian, just as it should not be removed because it is not Indian. Original research should certainly be removed though. Also, the page is written ostensibly about the phenomenon of anti-Hindu sentiment, but it's accumulated material that is better suited to a list of incidents of anti-Hindu sentiment. I'm not entirely sure what to do with this, but a list of incidents of stone-pelting and prejudiced statements by politicians don't aid the readers' understanding of the phenomenon.

"but a list of incidents of stone-pelting and prejudiced statements by politicians don't aid the readers' understanding of the phenomenon"
, I agree with that point. Also, I think my earlier statement may not have been as clear as I intended. I believe this article would greatly benefit from incorporating insights from Indian/Hindu scholars and academics, as their analysis of the anti-Hindu phenomenon would offer a more credible perspective, whereas those Indian news outlets may not be reliable for such sensitive and controversial issues. StarkReport (talk) 07:17, 17 September 2024 (UTC)- Specific concerns, please. The worst way to improve an article (regrettably) is to make broadsweep comments. TrangaBellam (talk) 14:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- @TrangaBellam Specifically, I think it's more effective to rely on sources such as Jeffery D. Long, Vamsee Juluri, Chad Bauman and P. N. Benjamin like in the first two sections on anti-Hindu sentiment, rather than stringing together scattered incidents and issues as seen in later sections. Outlets such as Mint, TheCommuneMag, NewsBharati, ABP Live, DNA India, Firstpost, with catchy headlines, often present a sensationalist narrative, which may not offer the same neutral, scholarly analysis needed for such a sensitive topic.
- I might be mistaken, so I’ll leave it for now. StarkReport (talk) 01:01, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think I agree; Juluri is an unserious scholar though, and I don't know about Benjamin. TrangaBellam (talk) 18:01, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
