Talk:Insurgency in Punjab, India

message: Should Senior officers be added to template? They were the leaders of police actions and were the ones that led crackdowns. I think they should be added. One Senior Officers is SSP AS Brar who is credited with getting rid of Babbar Khalsa in some districts. CanadianSingh1469 (talk) 18:25, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Adding on to my recent edit summary, the insurgency (in earnest) is generally though to have begun after the assassination. The article appears to be taking a broader view of June but in that aspect it can be further traced to the 1970s. None of these are wholly incorrect per se, just noting that third-party sources generally take a post-1984 assassination view, nothing should be lightly stacked on to the insurgency before that period without further corroboration.

replies: text: I have read sources that state 1983 as it was the beginning of the increase of violence. If you want to change the date show some sources that support post assassination as the date. CanadianSingh1469 (talk) 14:47, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That was a mere observation (for an edit summary I had made) from third-party sources and this page's history since its creation, don't want to change anything. Wanted to state that if any incident (before 1984/assassination) is to be tacked as related to the insurgency the source should specifically say so. Gotitbro (talk) 03:02, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

message: Hey , I had some reservations about Inderjit Singh Jaijee's book, Politics of Genocide, so I decided to post about it on the reliable sources noticeboard and asked an experienced editor on their insight concerning this book. My reservations stem from the fact that at the time this book was written, Jaijee was (and still is) not a scholar in any relevant field, nor was this book peer reviewed nor does it seem to have any particular prominence or citation use by scholars. While it is true that Jaijee went on to author 2 SAGE published books a decade later, I don't think we can retroactively determine all his previous works to be reliable, also noted by user Bon Courage-. Jaijee being an activist as opposed to an academic should be accorded less weight as aptly pointed out by Kautliya3. I think it would be reckless and irresponsible for us to include a figure which is flagrantly untrue, in this manner, and it could have real-world implications. I believe that Jaijee's non SAGE published works should be used quite sparingly, if at all, and only if his claims are backed up by prominent/reliable scholars or institutions; his SAGE published works are fine to use overall. If you have access to figures from prominent human rights organizations, like Human Rights Watch, we should use those sources directly rather than use Jaijee.
