Talk:Hinduism in Fiji

Dubious sweeping generalizations
In the "Persecution" section, we currently have this phrase: "The difference in human rights has been a continuing source of conflict between "native" Fijians and Indo-Fijians, with native Fijians believing Fiji to be their ancestral land that only they can own, and Indo-Fijians demanding equal rights for all human beings." Now, it has this scholarly source attached to it: "John Kelly (1992), A Politics of Virtue: Hinduism, Sexuality, and Countercolonial Discourse in Fiji, University of Chicago Press, ISBN 978-0226430300, pp. 1-39". All well and good, but source or no source, I don't think you can make sweeping generalizations about what all native Fijians believe. There are several hundred thousand indigenous Fijians. Short of interviewing all of them, and finding them all to be in agreement, you can't make a sweeping claim like that. Anyone have opinions? (Or even better, access to the source in question?) Otherwise, I'd like to rephrase the offending sentence or just excise it. Tigercompanion25 (talk) 15:29, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes, it is generalization. Rephrase the sentence and add 'some' Native Fijians, or something similar. Thanks Sid Blue (talk) 03:20, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Dubious sources on hindu discrimination. Same goes for some Hindu articles on Assam. 2003:D9:973E:F5EF:CDF6:1B89:FE76:845 (talk) 10:45, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
