@CanadianSingh1469: The cited figures are random and they don't indicate if any research was carried out behind those numbers. Why any weight should be given to the numbers that lack any research or basis? Capitals00 (talk) 15:02, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How do you know the number has no research behind it? If a reliable source says 17,000 we add 17,000. The source quire clearly says that 17,000 Sikhs were burned alive. We can’t remove figures from a reliable source just because we think there is no research behind it. If a confirmed academic publisher says it there was probably some research behind it. It isn’t a random number.
Looks reliable and an over reliance on government sources is never a good idea. Perhaps you could rewrite it as "while estimates from independent sources vary from 8,000 to 17,000". RegentsPark (comment) 16:10, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"there was probably some research behind it" that's your assumption. If there was any research then we would know that.
How come there is only 1 source that claims 17,000 figures without providing any details? From where this '17,000' figure came? Aman Kumar Goel(Talk) 04:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
RSS helped protecting Sikhs during 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots. Sikh intellectual and author of ‘A History of the Sikhs’, Khushwant Singh, credits members of the RSS with helping and protectingSikhs who were being targeted by members of the Congress(I) political party during the 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots.
There is some wrong details about the participants of poltical parties only INC and RSS done it.

Anti Sikh Riots was the first time in history when BJP supported Congress[edit]
please edit the lead and remove Hindu fascism from it
It makes no mention of BJP other than in the info box
It gives the false impression that Congress was the only party involved
