[edit] Press release
This article relies too much on a Press release. Please review WP:RS in order to avoid drastic cuts. Hornplease 19:01, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- In particular, some form of neutral review or RS evaluation would be useful. Compare to, for example, the article on CAIR. Hornplease 22:51, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deletions
As explained here the following was deleted in the article by Hornplease (talk · contribs) but no reason was put on the talkpage. Why was it deleted, and how could it be improved.. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hindu_American_Foundation&diff=125596610&oldid=98002055 The report documents the long history of anti-Hindu atrocities in Bangladesh, a topic that many Indians and Indian governments over the years have preferred not to acknowledge. Such atrocities, including targeted attacks against temples, open theft of Hindu property, and rape of young Hindu women and enticements to convert to Islam, have increased sharply in recent years after the Jamat-e-Islami joined the coalition government led by the Bangladesh National Party.The report concludes with:
| “ | Some Indians may feel uncomfortable with this report because they do not want to be reminded about the problems of Hindus outside their milieu. And for some in the Indian intelligentsia, it is a badge of honour to distance themselves from these pogroms as a mark of their supposed enlightenment, oddly trashing their own ethos in the process. Many more Indians are reluctant to speak out against atrocities committed against Hindus for fear of being labeled "communal". Merely speaking about human rights for Hindus is for them a form of communalism | ” |
The people whose persecution is amply documented in this report are being persecuted because they are Hindu, not because they are poor or because of their political views. Human rights activists in Bangladesh and Pakistan, many of whom are not Hindus, have painstakingly documented the violations of basic human rights of Hindus in their country.Librorum Prohibitorum (talk)
