Hindutva pseudoscience (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

I would like to nominate this article for deletion.The reasons are many and I itemize them below

  1. POV fork. The article is not much more than a copy-paste job from numerous other articles (themselves very dubious and biased against Hindus) like Hindutva, Fascism in India,Indigenous Aryans,In Search of the Cradle of Civilization,Aryan Invasion theory and Indo-Aryan Migration made by User:Dbachmann with an agenda of silencing criticisms of old theories by evocations of Godwins Law.
  2. The article was created immediately after Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2007_March_21 was filed,demonstrating an attempt to conflate and confuse readers by collecting numerous quotes and arguments and assembling them into an original research piece.
  3. Filled with factual inaccuracies. For instance, the article(s) implicitly claim that Hindus universally endorse the Inigenous Aryans theory, which is demonstrably false, as Savarkar was a vocal proponent of the opposite Aryan Invasion Theory (see Savarkars book "Hindutva" Page108, for instance)
  4. Selection bias. It states the opinions and allegations of controversial scholars (see this regarding Meera Nanda's perorations, as well as this article) as factual, and selectively quotes references to make extremely offensive remarks against Hindus in an attempt to foster hatred against them.In particular, claims of Aryan Race evocation are entirely false (as Aryan in this context is not perceive as a "race" but a class of nobility)
  5. It is an attempt to evoke Godwins Law and make an attack page against Hindus and Hindutva (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Indigenous_Aryan_Theory) with the epithet of "Hindus are Nazis" based on cherry-picking quotes from the works of Golwalkar, despite the fact that the Hindutva movement disowned those works a long time ago as shown by the posts of an ex-wikipedian who was a wiipedia administrator (User:Babub).
  6. Overall, it is a violation of WP:NPOV, WP:ATT, WP:NOR, WP:HOAX and numerous other policies
  7. Also see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#User:DBachmann , Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Dbachmann,Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2007-02-28_Indigenous_Aryan_Theory,Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/Indigenous_Aryans,and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Indigenous_Aryan_Theory Birdsmight 21:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  8. References that debunk the allegations made in this article (and mis-stated as factual) are "Smith, David James, Hinduism and Modernity P189, Blackwell Publishing ISBN 0-631-20862-3" , Elst on Golwalkar , We withdrawn,preview to dissertation, and numerous others
