Deletion request
It is totally misleading and false information and can cause social problems and riots 2409:4060:294:67CA:0:0:98F:8A1 (talk) 07:53, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- PLease read wp:afd, you can't ask for an article to be deleted on its talk page. Slatersteven (talk) 09:57, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
This page is very misleading in nature. Violence has been perpetrated against Hindus as well or any other religion for that matter. Associating violence with religion fails humanity and further creates divide. Sashwat0707 (talk) 16:28, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
- How is it misleading, do we say there is only violence against slims please quote where we say that? Slatersteven (talk) 16:31, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
- You do understand that by omitting that violence was done against Hindus too, acts in favour of you expressing that only Islam suffered. Please stop hiding behind the words and put in all the fact, if not, then dont put any. 2405:201:D01C:2045:2450:4579:281B:E9B6 (talk) 20:13, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
Genocide?
Is the use of the term "genocide", based on a single off-the-cuff mention in a 50 year old source by someone who is not a genocide scholar tenable? I don't think so. 117.194.204.22 (talk) 05:18, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
Done. Removed. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:18, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
Nellie massacre
Does Nellie massacre belong in this article? It was not a religious conflict and Kimura 2013 says specifically that it dd not fit the pattern of the "communal riot". It was one of many inter-ethnic violence during a very violent period. I could explain this here is more detail and references here in the talk page. Chaipau (talk) 11:23, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- The Nellie massacre was an anti-immigration riot, not anti-Muslim. This massacre happened in the context of the Assam Movement, particularly in the context of the 1983 elections. Nellie was one incident among various others that saw
- (1) Assamese against Hindu Bengalis:
[1]The Assamese raid on Bengali Hindus of Koirabari is less talked about but equally heinous. Times of India reported it only on 7 March even though it took place on 13 February.
- (2) Assamese Muslims against immigrant Muslims:
[2]The 1983 violence also saw clashes between Assamese Muslims and immigrant muslims. A case in point was that of Jamuguri, by river Jia Bharali in Darrang district.
- That it was an example of anti-immigrant riot is stated clearly both Picharoty (2019) and Kimura (2013):
[3]On doing so what emerges is another pattern of violence, which Kimura too highlighted in her book. ... What happened in Nellie was consequently an anti-migration riot, the likes of which had not been seen in the country till then.
- I shall remove this section from this article if there is no objection.
- Chaipau (talk) 18:17, 13 December 2022 (UTC) (edited) 18:21, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- We need to establish that the preponderance of sources discuss this as something other than a religious riot, not just one or two sources. I offer no opinion as yet if that's the case, but we need to examine the whole body of scholarly work. Vanamonde (Talk) 19:20, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Vanamonde93: this is tricky, since it plays into some current political interests: regarding the Koirabari raid (also February 1983) where the Assamese attacked Bengali Hindus, claiming 500 lives
[4] andRegarding that incident Shekhar Gupta wrote, 'A few days after the killings, K Sudershan, the Bauddhik Pramukh (intellectual chief) of the RSS, along with four of the key functionaries in Assam, sat in my hotel room in Gauhati in a mournful mood and bitterly criticised the Assamese for refusing to make a distinction between "Muslim infiltrators and Hindu refugees".
...the New Delhi representatives of national political parties and the Muslim right-wing organizations spreading themselves in Assam then treated the Nellie massacre only as a Hindu-Muslim riot. While it gave a hande to the political parties to polarize votes, it enabled the Muslim right wing to penetrate into the immigrant community of the state far more than before...
- Just putting this out so everyone can see. The demand that all "scholars" will have to agree this as being anti-immigration will not happen, and yet Wikipedia will be playing into a political effort that is still current. Pinging TrangaBellam. Chaipau (talk) 20:14, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- And since we will not get unanimity of scholars in this regard, let us hear what the Nellie survivors have reported as the cause of the massacre.
[5]From these statements it is obvious that the villagers view he massacre basically as a revenge for their participation in the election. Also, when asked about the confrontation with the local people all of them replied that before the movement started there was no trouble between them and the local people, such as the Tiwas and the Assamese.

- We don't need unanimity, but we need broad agreement to present something in Wikipedia's voice. If there isn't consensus, the Nellie massacre should presumably remain, but with the disagreement noted. No idea what political interests we're playing or not playing into here, but it ought not to be a consideration if the sources are reliable. Vanamonde (Talk) 21:18, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- I will be happy to look for the 1983 election violence (and Nellie massacre) being called a Hindu-Muslim clash, but I haven't found any so far. Could you help look for it? Please note that we will need an equal amount of critical analysis arguing why the Nellie massacre was a Hindu-Muslim conflict and why it was not an anti-migration conflict (WP:WEIGHT). Just some pass-by mention (the Hindus attacked the Muslims or that it was a "communal" clash) will not work. Chaipau (talk) 21:42, 13 December 2022 (UTC) (edited) 22:27, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

- @Vanamonde93: there are major gaps in Wikipedia regarding the context of the Nellie massacre. I shall try to fill them up before coming back to this again at a later time. Thanks. Chaipau (talk) 16:37, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
