The current version of the article about the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR) most recently edited by Benjamin P Holder are based on false accusations against the organisation, including the harsh claims that the organisation is scape-goating non-Christians and that it is an anti-Semitic organisation denying the holocaust. The edits made by Benjamin P Holder in this article are not based on any verifiable references, and I would therefore suggest that the article about NCDHR is reverted to an objective description of the work that NCDHR does in order to preserve the objectivity of wikipedia as an encyclopedia.

Benjamin P Holder has in addition to the edits made on the article about NCDHR also edited two other articles related to NCDHR:
1) He has consistently removed NCDHR's name from the list of lauretes of the Rafto Prize which was awarded to NCDHR on 20 September 2007. , claiming that the award was a "hoax" and that "no such award was given to holocaust denial group". However, many independent sources verify the news that NCDHR was in fact awarded such a human rights prize, including the Norwegian embassy in India and several news papers.
2) He has also deleted an entire article about NCDHR Convenor Paul Diwakar.

These systematic acts of vandalism are politically biased, and Benjamin P Holder's numerous attempts to reverse and delete articles and/or sources has been noted by many other contributors than me (as can be seen in the revision history of the abovementioned articles). I am intimidated by such accusation which compares an internationally recognised human rights organisaiton with an anti-Semitic, holocaust denying group. Such accusation are indeed serious and should be not be claimed randomly without any reliable sources. As a reply to my questioning of the neutrality of his edits in the article about NCDHR Benjamin P Holder explicitly asked me to stop "experimenting with the page" and stop "adding nonsense to wikipedia" although all I had done was to revert the text to the original article and had questioned the neutrality of his edits. As a consequence of my acts, Benjamin P Holder reported me for acts of vandalism to the wikipedia administrator.

I therefore call upon others to contribute and comment on this case. Although there may be many different views about NCDHR, it is simply unethical to claim such accusations against the organisation without proper references. I therefore suggest that the article is reverted to the most neutral description of NCDHR (e.g. 7:29, 23 September 2007) to avoid future disputes.

Er, the sources regarding NCDHR's endorsement of Dalit Voice propaganda are right here, in NCDHR's own website there is an endorsement of Dalit Voice strongman [{VT Rajshekhar]]. They certainly seem to finance and endorse anti-Semites and holocaust deniers. Looks like the references you cited don;t support your claims, or, if they do, are from unreliable sources like "newkerala" (the propaganda mouthpiece of the Naxalite Communist Party of India,a banned terrorist group).Benjamin P.
