Fiza
There is another movie on the subject called "Fiza" (my account was Shell but i forgot the password and it has still not been sent to me after requesting it)

Edited
I changed the line "An investigative commission was formed by Justice B.N. Srikrishna..." to "An investigative commission was formed under Justice B.N. Srikrishna..." 114.31.135.29 (talk) 01:55, 9 May 2010 (UTC) Prateek Mishra (prateek . freelance @ gmail . com)

Catagory removal
Why is the Category:Anti-Muslim pogroms in India being removed, this atrocity has been called a pogrom. Darkness Shines (talk) 06:15, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * This was a riot - started after (initially peaceful then turned violent) Muslim protests. Why is this called a pogrom against Muslims? It should then be called a pogrom against Hindus as well. I vote to add this to anti-Hindu pogroms in India --Sdmarathe (talk) 02:55, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * SD, see the section below this one. There are references that say targeted violence took place; therefore, the category is included. Vanamonde93 (talk) 19:17, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Template removal
There are six reliable sources in the linked section. Vanamonde93 (talk) 21:12, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Series Addition & Removal
This event includes both violence against Hindus and Muslims. Need consensus on adding this articles to both series "Violence against Muslims in India" & "Violence against Hindus". Please provide reliable source supporting the view. Until then this article should be part of any series. Unbiasedpov (talk) 19:21, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * If you had bothered to read the talk page, you would have seen the six reliable sources provided in the link above. Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:57, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

RfC: -Add series "Violence against Hindus" or Remove series "Violence against Muslims in India"?
Add the series "Violence against Hindus". Alternatively, remove the series "Violence against Muslims in India". Article carries details of both violence against Hindus as well was violence against Muslims. Article provides details of Radhabai Chawl Massacre of 6 Hindus, including women and physically handicapped girl. This and other events are textbook case of "Violence against Hindus"; Thus, This article should be added to series "Violence against Hindus". Updating RfC & making this Proposal:- Do not add entire article to "Violence against Hindus" series;Instead create a sub-section, "Radha bai Chawl Massacre" and add subsection to "violence against hindus" series.

 * I vote for Equality. I vote to add both series "Violence against Hindus" and "Violence against Muslims in India" to article. Unbiasedpov (talk) 22:01, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

There is an identical RfC about a related topic. To view and/or participate, follow the link at: Talk:2002_Gujarat_riots. Note: This RfC link fully complies with Requests_for_comment. Do not delete without consensus. Unbiasedpov (talk) 22:13, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment Sources describing this as "violence against Muslims" have been provided, and are currently in the article. Sources describing this as "violence against Hindus" do not exist. Therefore, only the former template is appropriate. Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:59, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Please provide a list of reliable source which describes entire event as "violence against Muslims". Read the article. Reliable sources describe Radhabai Chawl Massacre as start of hindu backlash. See the numbers in Sri Krishna Commission report:-. In first 2 days( January 6 and 7 1992) of Mumbai rioting, 34 Hindus and 8 Muslims got killed, 138 Hindus and 34 Muslims were injured. On January 8 1992 at 0030 hours, 6 Hindus, including 5 women, residing at Radhabai Chawl were burnt alive. Radhabai Chawl massacre triggered hindu backlash.Unbiasedpov (talk) 12:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Is there a consensus to add both the categories to sidebar for this page? I feel after reading more sources, this is deserving of both categories in the sidebar. --Sdmarathe (talk) 02:22, 26 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Support The Radhabai Chawl incident along with first 2 days of rioting, where Hindus were killed - was often referred to (including most sources and Srikrishna report) as the starting point to justify attacks on Muslims - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Radhabai-Chawl-A-decade-of-trying-to-rebuild-trust/articleshow/30396431.cms --Sdmarathe (talk) 16:43, 25 August 2015 (UTC) There is sufficient evidence and references of Violence against both religions. I vote to add both - "Violence against Hindus" and "Violence against Muslims in India". --Sdmarathe (talk) 21:26, 24 August 2015 (UTC)   Note: Move here because where it was originally, it looks like a double vote. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:14, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Updating RfC & making this Proposal:- Do not add entire article to "Violence against Hindus" series;Instead create a sub-section, "Radha bai Chawl Massacre" and add subsection to "violence against hindus" series. Unbiasedpov (talk) 11:50, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * If you have changed your mind, you should withdraw the RfC. - Kautilya3 (talk) 11:55, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I see three potential changes. Option 1: add entire article to Violence against Hindus. Option 2: create sub section on "Radha bai Chawl Massacre" and add this to "violence against hindus" . option 3: do nothing. There is enough data to indicate at least #2 if not #1. Maybe Unbiasedpov can rewrite the proposal along the above lines or keep the existing form and seek consensus. I do support the proposal as written nonetheless since Radhabai chowl massacre undoubtedly was a trigger for these riots. --Sdmarathe (talk) 16:06, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * The Proposal is my attempt to seek a middle path. This is what RfC is all about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unbiasedpov (talk • contribs)


 * Support. The text should include all precursor events, and provide information regarding the build-up to the event. This is necessary, by way of WP:NPOV, in order to maintain that Wikipedia is not a tool to discern personal beliefs on a situation. However, any support here should not be misconstrued to support either side of the situation in question, and is rather a means of maintaining the encyclopedia's five pillars, and more specifically WP:5P2.

RfC Close
, as somebody who voted in the RfC, your closure of it was inappropriate; see WP:BADNAC. I recognize that you are new here, so I don't think this is too big a deal, but a self-revert would be encouraged. Vanamonde93 (talk) 19:46, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Vanamonde93, it was me that closed the RFC: my summary is at the top of the discussion (in a box to the right side). Cheers, --Errant (chat!) 20:29, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Errant It would appear that I cannot read. My apologies to both; this demonstrates why I should not be editing the 'pedia when busy with RL. I disagree with your close, but it's in no way inappropriate. Vanamonde93 (talk) 21:49, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

changing the timeline structure
Perhaps to increase the conciseness of the article we could restructure the 'timeline' format and instead focus on expanding the discussion of the causes (which are listed in bullet points towards the end of the article but no further context is given for them) and including a discussion of the consequences of the riots (including how it affects the social, political, and economic conditions of present day Mumbai. What do people think about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maytwister16 (talk • contribs) 10:30, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Historian Barbara Metcalf
275 Hindus died, and Sri Krishna Commission report did mention role of Muslim rioters killing Hindus. It's clear she is biased and her statement should be removed from the first part.

Her bibliography and her writings show that she has some pro-Muslim bias. It seems she was selected by some biased editor for this reason. Barbara D. Metcalf — Preceding unsigned comment added by അണ്ണാ ഹസാരെ (talk • contribs) 05:01, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
