Talk:Hindu Mahasabha

Untitled
"RSS was originally clearly inspired in its rhetoric and style of functioning by European fascism." The above debatable statement is best suited in the place of article on RSS. See the talk pages of RSS for more discussion on this. Ramashray 13:44, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)Ramashray


 * The statement ought to be included in the Hindu Mahasabha article, since it explains why RSS splits off in that particular period. --Soman 15:39, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * If you are sure that RSS got split off on the issue of its affinity towards Fascism alone, clearly mention that and then add the above statement. Otherwise it was looking as if it is a qualifier for RSS, while the article was on Hindu Mahasabha !

Missing right-bracket has made intralink non-functional
There is a missing "]" in the following sentence:

Under the leadership of Mohandas Gandhi, the Congress led several nationwide campaigns of [[non-violence|non-violent] civil disobedience.

I would have corrected this simple typo myself, but the article is apparently protected or semi-protected (?) and I can't edit it directly. Thanks. —50.14.33.235 (talk) 16:18, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

MISLEADING INFORMATION ABOUT AKHIL BARTATIYA HINDU MAHASABHA
TO ALL THE READERS THIS IS ALL MISLEADING INFORMATION PROVIDED BY WIKIPEDIA ABOUT HINDU MAHA SABHA THEY HAVE EVEN REMOVED THE PARTY'S REAL SYMBOL AND FLAG. Only some of the information is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.215.160.196 (talk) 20:39, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Fix a typo in the "Establishment" section, second paragraph, "Although it opposed untouchability, the Mahasabha's orthodoxy on other matters concerning Hindu law and customs were a handicap in attracthing the support of a vast majority of Hindus."

Needs to be attracting

Biased, wrong - Who wrote this garbage?
Who wrote this article? The Hindu Mahasabha was not "decimated" by the 1937 provincial elections. They were not a large organization that was even in a position to contest many seats in the various provincial elections the way the Congress Party was. That said, the Mahasabha won more seats in the 1937 Sindh Legislative Assembly elections than did the Congress Party and they won a few seats in Bengal. Their performance was okay given the limited number of seats they were contesting anyway. Do not engage in revisionist history by suggesting the Mahasabha was a much larger, much more prominient organization that it really was. The information in this Wikipedia entry appears to be written by a supporter of the Indian National Congress Party. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westwoodwizard (talk • contribs) 20:02, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Requested move 12 December 2018

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Moved to alt proposal. (closed by non-admin page mover)  SITH   (talk)   02:10, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha → Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha – WP:COMMONNAME. 4,500 results in Google News for "Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha" and only 1,100 results for "Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha". Modern scholars too use "Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha". Sdmarathe (talk) 22:22, 12 December 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 23:51, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose - For an organisation, we need to use its official name, if we can find it. If the older sources say Akhil Bharatiya, that tends to support the view that that was its official name. The "modern" sources can't change its name, even though they might bring in new forms and elevate them to the level of synonyms. (By the way, in daily parlance it was just called "Hindu Mahasabha", just like "Indian National Congress" is called "Congress" and "All-India Muslim League" is called "Muslim League".) What is worse, I think there was a splinter group in recent decades that called itself the "Akhil Bharat" Hindu Mahasabha. In short, the rationale given here for move doesn't fly. If you can find evidence of its official name, please bring it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:44, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Support - A search on the Election Commission of India web site brings up three pages. Even though the name is not consistent across these pages, the downloadable documents have the organisation's letterhead, naming it as "Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha". So we can take it to be the official name, and the other one a variant. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:00, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Relisting comment. Unfortunately if I were to close this, I'd need to discard the only !vote and probably the nomination as well. For an organisation, we need to use its official name... Neither the struck oppose nor the subsequent support show any understanding of the issues or policies involved. And the nom's googles are in error, and the hits are mostly (and perhaps entirely) the result of this. Andrewa (talk) 23:51, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Move to Hindu Mahasabha. It is the COMMONNAME. (Changed my !vote in the light of 's comment.) -- Kautilya3 (talk) 01:49, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * That looks very good to me, thank you. It is trivially more concise, appears unambiguous (the proposed new name redirects here and has always referred to this topic, although there have been copyvio problems) and is common in sources (and appears unambiguous there too). I don't think I can !vote or close this now, but I would not object to an early close in view of the relisting and the fact that this latest proposal could even have been an uncontroversial technical move IMO. We just need an uninvolved admin (preferably an admin I think) to agree to do so (and otherwise I'm afraid we wait). And we move on. Andrewa (talk) 04:07, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
