@Portwoman please cite the sections you are using to remove "alleged". The citations do have cases where the news only states "close to" or the like. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 17:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Im not using sections, but refering to references which state otherwise. Portwoman (talk) 17:51, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I am asking you to cite the portions of those references that mention what you are trying to implement. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 17:52, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Portwoman do NOT change the lead till you acheive consensus for your edit. You have not only not achieved consensus, you have also not made any efforts to provide any sourcing for it. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 18:05, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Neither does this mean that you have achieved consensus.
so, please wait and let other editors conclude wit their respective opinions.Portwoman (talk) 18:14, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ONUS. Its up to you to show why your proposed wording is correct. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 18:22, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the onus is on the editor who originally added these words, to prove that they follow the sources listed. — kashmīrī TALK 19:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The current sentence closely follows a version that has been in place since atleast the last five years - [1] - Possibly much older. At this point, it is very much the longstanding status quo and would require consensus to change. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 20:04, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is a live encyclopaedia. It's really ok to remove wrong information even after 20 years. — kashmīrī TALK 22:45, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously.
But that wasnt the point, was it? The onus lies on someone trying to change longstanding info. My response was to you saying the onus was on someone else; That is not so.
If someone is changing longstanding info and gets reverted, WP:BRD,WP:ONUS apply. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 05:19, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That said, terrorism is not a phenomenon unique to organisational members. Lone wolf terrorism is a well-attested phenomenon also in India (shall I mention Nathuram Godse?) — kashmīrī TALK 22:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The phrase "alleged members" was added in 2014[2] when the article was titled Saffron terror. The lead in that edit read:

Saffron terror is a neologism used to describe acts of violence apparently motivated by Hindu nationalism. They are perpetrated by members, alleged members and former members of the Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliate organisations such as the Vishva Hindu Parishad, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram and others.

It was added by @Kautilya3: (pinging so he can weigh in on the discussion). Schazjmd (talk) 22:49, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, I stumbled upon a webpage discussing Hindu terrorism, and I was surprised to see the name of RSS (Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh) mentioned there. It should be noted that RSS is a nationalist organization, not a terrorist organization. I kindly ask for the prompt removal of its name from that page. Kunal582002 (talk) 12:07, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Despite RSS group being a nationalist organisation within, the attack investigations and the supreme court hearings bought up perpetrators linked with the group. And there's nowhere mentioned RSS is a terrorist organisation. It's only declared that some RSS leaders involved in the terrorist incidents as stated above. So I don't think any changes are required, as it seems to be an ideological diversion here. Constantiyespole (talk) 11:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article, especially the, "Other incidents" section is full of false allegations. Someone must remove them. You can add, "Some State Governments are witch hunting Hindus and trying to implicate them in false terrorism cases.[1]" 2406:7400:90:92A7:1C81:5D6C:7364:B74C (talk) 12:09, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make it easier for others to understand, that IP is asking to change what there is in the "Other incidents" section, to, "The Indian Home Secretary R. K.

References in the Lead

[edit]

Since this is a contentious topic, we need strong WP:RS references in the lead too, and any accusations should have credible sources. Also, any claims, opinions, and content without WP: RS references should be avoided. Thanks. RogerYg (talk) 23:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added missing references for the 2007-2008 attacks in the lead. Also for clarity of the chronology and context, the attacks need to be mentioned before the alleged accused, as the primary attacks in the sources are 2007 Samjhauta Express bombings and 2008 Malegaon blasts.
