Hello, I'm DaxServer. I noticed that you recently removed content from Godhra train burning without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 14:58, 25 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Many of the scholars cited have clear political motivations and aren't trustworthy. Martha Nussbaum for example. The only reason she's added is due to an appeal to authority.
 * She accuses the Indian government of using al-Qaeda as ‘a scare tactic’, without providing any basis. She outright denies the existence of any India-based Islamic terror-network with Pakistani connections. India is not justified in enacting any special laws to control terror cells, she insists. She laments that the United States is not monitoring India as a threat to world democracy:
 * She stated that a Hindu nation is not ‘a benign establishment like the Lutheran Church of Finland’ but something that would treat Muslims as second-class citizens, keeping quiet about the continuous funding of Christian NGOs in the country.
 * She alleges that India has jumped on the bandwagon of fighting terrorism as a ploy to justify its own violence against religious minorities. Terror is a pretext to cover up India’s ‘values involved in ethnic cleansing’.  She says, ‘The current world atmosphere, especially the indiscriminate use of the terrorism card by the United States, has made it easier for them to use this ploy’.
 * She further informed them that the Hindu political ideology was derived from ‘European romantic nationalism and its darker aspirations to ethnic purity’. Her book, The Clash Within: Democracy, Religious Violence, and India’s Future, is a recent example of an activistic motivation.
 * Without the required qualifications or training to speak with authority on the subject, Nussbaum proceeds to pontificate on the date of the Vedas, concluding that any claim of Vedic antiquity before 1200 BCE or claims of cultural continuity of the Harappan culture to the present day, brand a person as belonging to the Hindu Right. In explaining the Aryan ‘invasion’ scenario, she simply omits that it has been rejected by archeologists universally, Burntfart (talk) 07:59, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
