Talk:2020 Delhi riots/Archive 1

Title
User:203.13.166.18 your proposal of Delhi Riots is not acceptable since 1. This is only happening in NE delhi, 2. there are many many riots over the years in Delhi. We will need to add year in that case. Currently, the media and news are using NE Delhi riots/ NE Delhi clashes/ NE Delhi violence. so we can drop the year. -- ⋙–D Big X ray ᗙ  14:43, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Background
The background need corrections. It was not about Shaheen Bagh, but new protests started 2 days ago, sit-in protest at Jaffrabad Metro Station/Chandbagh/Maujpur. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 So need immediate correction or else its sending a wrong message.

Complaints
User:Coffeeandcrumbs, In the Indian legal system, Complaint is the first step. As you can see in the inline citation, it notes that 2 complaints were filed. It means that Police has been informed about the incident and a formal police case has been asked to be initiated. Police will then initiate the police case by filing an FIR (report), do the investigation, then file chargesheet and the case will goto court. Hope this helps. I have already clarified this and removed the clarify tag, let me know if you still have questions. -- ⋙–D Big X ray ᗙ  19:20, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Many Muslim leaders like owasi have made statements like "1 crore will be ruling 15 crore " This is not a mob reaction but a pre planned event by politicians. As an eye witness they have stored guns swords stones for this purpose. When police fires tear gass balls people cover them with buckets of cold water.

Anti CAA riots and Links to Radical Islamic outfits
Many intelligence reports and arrests by police shows that these Anti-CAA protests were supported by radical Islamic outfits like PFI.

On contrary on what is written this is not a communal riot as Muslims are not the only people affected. Even hindus have been attacked, killed and affected. Furthermore inspite of provocative statement from kapil mishra, it was the Anti- CAA protestors who started the violence by pelting stones on the people who were supporting the act.

Role of AAP councilor Tahir Hussain is completely ignored.
Author totally ignore the role of Tahir Hussain(AAP councilor). His home was used to throw stone. chemicals, petrol bombs. Numerous media channels showed that the rooftop of his house was full of stones, petrol bombs and other dangerous chemicals. His goons killed IB officer Ankit Sharma and dumped his body in a drain. There are so many videos which showed that the councilor himself running with stick with other Muslim mobs on the rooftop. Authors intentionally ignoring the facts to present an anti-Hindu image which is totally untrue and unacceptable according to Wikipedia standard. Whatever mentioned in page is half true and totally one-sided in nature. Authors are trying to present a total Anti-Hindu typed of theory by mentioning jai Sree Ram and har har mahadev Slogan. They didn't mention other side of rioted mentioned allah hu akbar slogan and burnt shops houses.

Requesting authors to consider both side and present a true facts otherwise we are going to sue them for spreading false ONE SIDED STORY.

Remove bias and instead mention names of all the dead, the circumstances and all the allegations
Wikipedia editors or even news reporters are no judges that you can affix blame or decide who the perpetrators were. All of the below need to be edited or removed: 1. "in which 27 people, mostly Muslim" : No news media has cited casualty figures by religion. One ToI article listed below has a 50:50 ratio. This is a factually incorrect statement. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/14-more-confirmed-deaths-take-toll-to-27-gunshot-wounds-killed-at-least-12/articleshow/74326586.cms

2. "when a BJP leader and former legislator Kapil Mishra issued a three day ultimatum to the Delhi Police[11] to clear the roads being occupied by the protestors failing which he stated that he would forcefully end the protests.[12] Following his comments, multiple clashes began occurring across North East Delhi from the next day" : There are now multiple news reports on pre planning to coincide with Donald trump's visit. There are allegations on AAP councillor Taher Hussain. On what basis has this blanket statement been made?

3. Lead Figures mentions names of 4 BJP leaders basis court discussion but has no details of actual perpetrators or of those against whom FIR have been lodged. This needs to be corrected.

(Religious) Demographics of those killed
Following from a section above about the casualty list - since this riots supposedly also have a lot to do with religious orientation, the religious demographics of those killed should be mentioned in the article and further as part of the CAA casualty list over on the main article for this CAA protests - "Names of 19 People Killed in Delhi Riots Confirmed (The Wire)", Delhi violence | Death toll rises to 27 (The Hindu).

In both the sections there is a mention of protests starting some time after Kapil Mishra's speech. Source 37, clearly states that the clashes were a result of pro-CAA protesters throwing stones at anti-CAA protesters.

Please edit "Within a few hours of Kapil Mishra's rally, violent clashes started between the supporters and the people against CAA." in Incitement and "Within hours of his speech clashes broke out between the anti-CAA and pro-CAA demonstrators in Maujpur, Karawal Nagar, Maujpur Chowk, Babarpur and Chand Bagh." under Timeline/23rd Feb

Within a few hours of Kapil Mishra's rally, violent clashes started between the supporters and the people against CAA after a group of anti-CAA protesters reportedly hurled stones at a pro-CAA gathering at Maujpur Chowk and near a temple.

Within hours of his speech clashes broke out between the anti-CAA and pro-CAA demonstrators in Maujpur, Karawal Nagar, Maujpur Chowk, Babarpur and Chand Bagh after a group of anti-CAA protesters reportedly hurled stones at a pro-CAA gathering at Maujpur Chowk and near a temple.

This pertinent fact which is backed by a source already used in the page shouldn't be hidden and must be mentioned in the article as it gives context to the following clashes.

The source clearly mentions that protestors hurled stones at a pro-CAA gathering. In the context of the source the term protestors was used to describe anti-CAA agitators.

"February 22 (10:30 pm): Several protesters, including women, had gathered in large numbers and occupied a portion of the road near Jaffarabad Metro station since Saturday. A call was given by Bhim Army for a nationwide bandh. Protesters said they would go on a march from Chand Bagh to Raj Ghat.

How is it my personal analysis when the source clearly supports my statement? Please explain why this source is not being taken into consideration? According to the source(which has been cited elsewhere on the page) the chronology was as follows: February 23 (3:45- 4 pm): Protesters from Babarpur (shamshan wali gali) hurl stones at pro-CAA gathering at Maujpur Chowk and near a temple

February 23 (4-5 pm): Clashes breaks out in Maujpur, Karawal Nagar, Maujpur Chowk, Babarpur and Chand Bagh. Police resort to lathicharge and fire tear gas shells. Paramilitary forces roped in

This clearly supports my edit. If you feel otherwise, Add a line mentioning that the stone throwing incident preceded the clashes. You cannot just filter what should be on the page on the basis of your bias and opinions.

Some time later, protesters reportedly hurled stones at the pro-CAA gathering at Maujpur Chowk and near a temple. Within hours of the speech, several reports of clashes between the anti-CAA and pro-CAA demonstrators in Maujpur, Karawal Nagar, Maujpur Chowk, Babarpur and Chand Bagh emerged.[22][35] Police used lathi-charge and tear gas to disperse the crowd and to take situation in control.

(Edit in Para 8.2 : Transfer of Justice Muralidhar)

Change Title to "Controversy by Congress on Transfer of Justice S. Muralidhar"

The transfer of the Delhi High Court judge S. Muralidhar who presided over the bench, hearing the plea to Punjab and Haryana High Court sparked a new controversy after the allegations made by the Congress Party[1] that he was transferred because on 26th February he condemned the Delhi Police for its failure in controlling the riots or filing cases against BJP leader for hate speech.

While pronouncing his judgement on a case on 26th February, Justice S. Muralidhar had said, ″That was my last judicial act as a judge of this court″.[2] Later on, it was also confirmed by the official sources that this was a routine transfer and was recommended by The Supreme Court Collegium in a meeting which was held on 12th February, 2020.[3] In addition to this the Law Minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad also stated that the transfer was taken place after taking the consent of the judge.[4]

However, this controversy raised by congress was already reported by several media groups that led to increase the distrust amongst the Anti-CAA protesters.

Aam Admi Party (AAP) leader allowed his 4 storey residence to be used by muslim rioteers to hurl petrol bombs at hindu colonies. The Delhi Police has lodged an FIR on the basis of a complaint filed by the family of the IB staffer alleging that Tahir is responsible for his murder. . Autopsy report has revealed the IB staffer was stabbed multiple times before he died.

When India Today visited the building located in Khajuri Khas area of North East Delhi, which reportedly is AAP's Tahir area, sacks of stones and bricks, petrol bombs and acid were kept on the terrace.

However, many videos have surfaced in which the building can be seen being used by the rioters. When India Today spoke to the locals, they confirmed that Tahir has been seen in the building.

Tahir Hussain was then suspended by AAP.

1)Available video clip of Tahir Hussain directing rioters and killing IB agent is completely ignored here

2) Rationale behind the violence exactly at the time of Trump visit to get attention of international media is not been talked upon

3) The timing is even more important because majority of police were deployed elsewhere due to Trump visit. The areas in question has very less police presence.

4) Immediate involvement of NT, Imran Khan etc. shows a well planned attack

But the author blatantly ignored all such facts and showed one side of the story. Thus this post is biased, politically motivated and part of a bigger conspiracy.. I demand this to be flagged immediately Factseeker Supreme (talk) 03:18, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

This article violates neutral point of view
Some highly baised people are editing this article. This article is selective and so is misleading.

Mind you not suggesting that Hindu elements are not involved, but to show unfairness and unequality resulting in biasness in the article.

1. While Hindu slogans are prominantly mentioned nowhere are the Islamic slogans raised in riots

Please see "...On Tuesday, rioters from both the communities were seen moving around with swords, lathis, stones completely unchecked. The frenzied mobs chanting incendiary slogans — — Jai Shri Ram and Nara-e-tadbeer Allah hu Akbar — hurled stones, petrol bombs at each other..."

https://www.asianage.com/india/all-india/260220/delhi-burns-during-trump-visit-death-toll-rises-to-13.html

Titled as the first reported death "He recalled hearing chants of “Allah Hu Akbar” as the mob came closer. He fell unconscious after he was hit on the head with sticks. “I think papa was still breathing at the time. They hit him everywhere, on his face, his head,”"

https://scroll.in/article/954574/divided-city-how-barricades-came-up-overnight-between-hindu-and-muslim-neighbourhoods-in-delhi

3. While photo of Kapil Mishra and an quote of a victim's father blaming him is mentioned, nowhere is photo of the other alleged hate speech givers, and quotes blaming Tahir Hussain

Please see "...Ankit's father, Ravinder Sharma, ...accused supporters of an Aam Aadmi Party leader, Tahir Hussain, of attacking Ankit and killing him...

"Get Hold of him (AAP leader). He is responsible for the deaths and he is on the run. Police should get hold of him,"..." https://www.ndtv.com/delhi-news/family-of-intel-employee-ankit-sharma-killed-in-delhi-clashes-dont-worry-about-money-he-said-2186159

4. Lead figures mentions Kapil Mishra... on allegation of hate speech but fails to mention Tahir Hussain etc. who took part in the riots. A section on Tahir Hussain was added too late only when became impossible to hide due FIRs and AAP membership suspension.

5. Although it mentions Hindu victims, yet such names makes this article kind of oxymoron, you should remove them, then "your" article would be much more consistent, no hate speeches by muslims, no lslamic slogans, no attacks on journalists, no mention of Tahir Hussain till can be, no Hindu victims, no property loss to Hindus.

6. Shahrukh Khan the shooter, was defended here by saying he did not kill anyone just fired eight shots while standing right in front of a policeman. Very nice.

7. Attack on Masjids are mentioned and should be mentioned when reported by media. Yet to show selectiveness I remind some users here that they not only turned blind but agrued against including an attack on Hindu temple by anti-CAA protesters on The Citizenship Amendment Act protest page at its talkpage. Very nice

8. Someone wrote "Several journalists reporting on the riots stated that they had been threatened by pro-CAA mobs" and later names of Hindu groups are explicitly mentioned, wherease attacks by anti-CAA protesters is missing in the beginning as well as in details.

"Mere saat jo tha, woh chala gaya [The guy, who was with me, has died],” Mr. Napa said with a sense of loss. The reporter claimed that he was shot by anti-CAA protesters. "

https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/first-came-petrol-bomb-stones-then-they-shot-at-me-reporter/article30926971.ece

"Urjita said she and Fatima — whom she was with — constantly exchanged names depending on the crowd."

https://theprint.in/opinion/why-delhi-riots-are-different-what-theprints-13-reporters-photojournalists-saw-on-ground/371981/

Such unfair and baised editing amounts to a missuse of the Wikipedia for propaganda.

Very unfortunate that there are people who make such selective edits and then when it suits there argument they write somewhere "... Don't you feel your single line will be read by lakhs of people here, and narratives and perception will be created FROM it..."

Care about narratives and perceptions, quoting of WP policies and block threats only when the reality goes againts there biases and prejudices.

As an IP user I tried to reason with some of them at The Citizenship Amendment Act protest talkpage, but those with prejudices and biases, and bent on propaganda, are blind to reason and when they lose argument, they just withdraw as an IP user can't do much on protected pages.

Again mind you that not suggesting that Hindu elements not involved but to show unfairness and unequality resulting in biasness in the article

Tell the truth as it is, whole and complete truth. Treat all with equality and fairness, no matter what you believe and know, no matter how much you are prejudiced and baised against anyone.2405:204:3323:9B54:74E0:D3F4:A8D0:A375 (talk) 08:06, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

If 95 citations can be added about Kapil Mishra's 'prominent' role in incitement (and the others mentioned by Justice Muralidhar in the Delhi High Court) and five citations for other folks, then if the '95 percent' is given 'primacy' or 'prominence,' then it's not violative of 'neutral point of view.'

 * I agree. The article as it is has a very prominent pro-New Delhi bias and many sections appear written by Unionists or even members of the Hindi Parivar. This bias should be redressed. I support the inclusion of a section on New Delhi's long-term racist oppression of Non-Hindi peoples and discriminatory taxation of Non-Hindi member-states, in order to provide a proper 'big picture' perspective. The Delhi riots are merely part of large-scale hatred and violence against non-Hindi peoples. For example, the demolition of the Vidyasagar statue in West Bengal during the recent anti-Bengali riots a few months ago orchestrated by Hindi Nationalists should also be mentioned.

Muslim protesters

 * Why you have not mentioned any muslim protester, who killed many hindu

I know you are a hindu hater or any paid agent of opposition that's why you are showing half story TheIndianreality (talk) 08:13, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

This is one side story. One my friends is working in Delhi hospital and he told that he had 50 dead bodies and all were Hindus. I am not deny muslims aren't affected bt hindus are more.its totally tahir Hussain an Aap party counselor who is responsible for planning and instigating delhi riots .its disgusting that through wikipedia false news is being published I totally disagree with this article. This article is disguising people. Full of lies and hatred. SESHEW (talk) 09:06, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Yes mostly were hindus Vplpoonia (talk) 09:16, 29 February 2020 (UTC)


 * This article is misleading . You are showing only one side

Many other political party members like sonia gandhi, rahul gandhi, priyanka gandhi, owasi brothers, manish sisodia, pathan waris, amatullah khan etc have thrown hate speech during this period. Many other anti-nationals like Swara bhaskar (actress), ravish kumar (NDTV), Rajdeep sardesai (Journalist) etc. These people are responsible for tha riots and a notice against them is given to delhi police by supreme court for action against them, but you are a paid dog that's why you target only hindu and bjp leaders. TheIndianreality (talk) 08:20, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Requesting lock down on article.
I kept myself away from this article this time as I knew I might get wrong in many places. But just some minutes ago a well known twitter handle with more than 262K followers has tried to direct crowd towards this article. As we can see wikipedia runs on reliable sources and authentic logics only and I can see editors like have done amazing job in maintainign this article.

But in a few days vandalism is expecting on this article. So a lockdown is requested. Talk page is open for discussion. Requesting  to make a lockdown as vandalism is expected after such appeal. Edward Zigma (talk) 10:43, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Watering down
, thanks for your copyediting. But I want to understand why you watered down a key passage to:

Kapil Mishra is known to have coined the slogan (which was of course used by other BJP leaders as well). But he was held responsible by the state BJP chief, Manoj Tiwari, not by India Today. Tiwari also called for his removal from the party. Some commentators have said that Mishra turned to more extermism in order to resurrect his falling star within the BJP. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 15:08, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Did not mean to water it down, the English was not clear in the text and what I wrote was how it came across to me. I will correct it now, or you can correct it to how you interpret it. Apologies comrade waddie96 (talk) 15:30, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Spelling question
Forgive my ignorance, but the article has a mix of -ise and -ize spellings (both vandalise and and vandalize, for example). My assumption is that Indian English uses -ise spelling, but I know there are variants of Commonwealth English that don't. Which should it be? Guettarda (talk) 13:41, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * , Please use "vandalize" "vandalise" is not the right spelling. -- ⋙–D Big X ray ᗙ  13:53, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * are American-style -ize spellings normal in Indian English then? Guettarda (talk) 13:55, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Guettarda Please use UK version -ise as a general rule for Indian articles. With American influence it is possible that you will see ize version in some places, but -ise or the british version is common. Vandalize is a case which is always -ize. Atleast I believe, I have never seen "vandalise" in Indian RS.-- ⋙–D Big X ray ᗙ  14:00, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * -ize is more standard. It is acceptable in British/US/Indian English. There is no fixed usage afaik. --qedk (t 桜 c) 14:17, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * "ize" is standard in American English and (I believe) Canadian English. It's a non-standard variant in British English and other non-Americanised varieties of English, much like "grey" is a non-standard variant in American English. But given that this article uses both -ise and -ize, I am curious about the standard in Indian English. Guettarda (talk) 14:33, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

, lets focus on the job at hand. I believe on this article the only concern is vandalize vs vandalise. Am I right ? I propose we use vandalize. Does anyone object to this ? what are the other words in this article that need to be discussed ?  ⋙–D Big X ray ᗙ  14:40, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter what convention is used as long as it remains consistent in this article. --qedk (t 桜 c) 14:52, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that Indian English has traditionally used Chambers's spelling, i.e. -ise endings, not Oxford, i.e. -ize. Similarly, it does not use Oxford commas.  That in theory is the standard.  The standardization was moving apace in the 70s and 80s, but a combination of the internet (including Wikipedia), and Indians going to America for studying, killed it.  Sidney Greenbaum had commented somewhere that if Indians demonstrated confidence in using their language and pursued some form of codification, grammars and dictionaries, it might some day in the future become a regional variety like Caribbean, South African, even Australian English.  Whether that will happen now is not clear.  But the existing standards in all Englishes are being ruffled by the internet.  So its not just Indian English.  Anyway, on Wikipedia South Asian English, including Indian, has -ise endings. That is the reason why the Indus Valley Civilisation has remained in that spelling despite daily attempts to change it.

Archive settings
Hi all, the talk page is growing at 400 KB per day. within 3 days it will reach 1.2 MB. Which is why I proposed 24 hrs, archive. A thread that does not get response in 24 hrs will be archived. if anyone wants to continue they can pull it back from archive. This seems as the only way to keep this talk page functional.  ⋙–D Big X ray ᗙ  14:10, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Lead figures names

 * User:DBigXray With reference to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and 2002 Gujarat Riots articles, is it really necessary to include the "Lead Figures" section in this article? Aswin8 (talk) 13:34, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The Delhi High Court has asked the Police to file cases against them for hate speech that caused the violence.  ⋙–D Big X ray ᗙ  14:24, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * And just like in the above mentioned two articles, can that matter not be mentioned in the main body of the article, rather than in a half-filled section of "Lead Figures"? Aswin8 (talk) 17:33, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The other articles are different from this one. Here a protest was going on. And a leader brought his supporters to get engaged. Secondly, the other names mentioned who delivred hate speech which is now being asked by court to take actions. So appropriate enough to put it. Dey subrata (talk) 03:04, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , it is mentioned both in the body as well as infobox.  ⋙–D Big X ray ᗙ  07:46, 28 February 2020 (UTC)


 * There is no need to put lead figures names because it looks like a WP:BLPVIO. The page is about riots and you are naming them to be leading riots by using poor and recent media reports. Aman Kumar Goel(Talk) 17:15, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
