Talk:1928 Institute

Quote from Amrit Wilson's Article
Hey there,

I recently came across this article which references how/why Amrit Wilson mentions the 1928 Institute in her piece. The article talks about how she harassed the group.

'For example, a group at the university [of Oxford] researched Hinduphobia and discrimination against Indians in the UK and for daring the research they were mobbed by a group of Khalistani and Stalinist racists. The anti-Semitic and Hinduphobic columnist Amrit Wilson, then, wrote a racist diatribe against Indian groups and made death threats to young anti-racism scholars. Worst still, the editors of Byline Times, the publishers of Amrit’s diatribe, knew about the racism and death threats and still published her racist diatribe anyway!'

Is it worth removing Amrit's quote regarding the group from the 1928 Institute's wikipedia page, given the manner in which her article was produced and how it is based on her opinion? JumpingJimmySingh (talk) 00:58, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No. Wilson is a subject-matter expert and the material is clearly attributed as her opinion (although the quote is largely a series of facts). Incidentally, Samant's article is also an opinion piece and doesn't offer any evidence for its claims that Wilson is anti-Semitic and Hinduphobic. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:11, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

India Club
The following comment is relevant given the 1928 Institute's 'relationship with the India League' and that the India Club was set up by the India League:

Commenting on the closure of The India Club, Times of India writes "A group from the 1928 Institute – set up in the UK as an extension of the India League – were enjoying their last meal at the club “This is the epitome of the British India story – Indians coming to the UK and fighting imperialism but enjoying the positive aspects of British culture and making Britain their home,” their spokesperson said".

 * It's not really encyclopedic that some people had dinner on the final night of a restaurant's operation. Please see WP:NOTNEWS. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:48, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read the quote from the Times of India article:
 * “This is the epitome of the British India story – Indians coming to the UK and fighting imperialism but enjoying the positive aspects of British culture and making Britain their home,” their spokesperson said.
 * This isn't about a dinner, it is clearly an important comment on the significance of the the India Club and the British Indian story. JumpingJimmySingh (talk) 12:47, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the present article is about the 1928 Institute, not the India Club. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:34, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
