Talk:Freedom of religion in India

message: According to his article, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi once said:  "Yes I am. I am also a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist and a Jew," when asked whether he was a Hindu. It appears rather unlikely that: 
:"Gandhi opposed the Christian missionaries calling them as the remnants of colonial Western culture[2]. He claimed that by converting into Christianity, Hindus have changed their nationality.[3]"
If this wasn't properly referred, this would have already been deleted. I think that we need a full (sourced) citation of what he said. Zara1709 (talk) 20:09, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Gandhi Statement

message: A good amount of referenced material has been removed/replaced by IP user 47.102.212.108 in November 2008. Can someone work on reverting those changes? Else this article does not stand as B-class one now.--GDibyendu (talk) 13:20, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  IP user's vandalism 

message: It has been edited with such a severe bias that after reading it one gets the impression that it is the 80% Hindu majority of India that is regularly persecuted by the 20% minorities with half a dozen different religions, even though the reality of the situation is a stark contrast. Please fix it, or just add it to the catagory of "contemporary dark humor" and be done with it. Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.152.72.165 (talk) 07:48, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  This page is an unfunny joke... 

message: This article has been subjected to multiple unmonitored POV additions and not one of them has any regard for the entire page as a whole; because of that, it now reads like a collection of conflicting biased statements and lacks any flow or proper organised structure. A page of this importance really needs additional watchers and interested contributors. I'll try to do some basic clean up and fill in any missing gaps. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 17:16, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs attention and cleanup 

message: governmental agents are altering real facts in this encyclopedia.(This was the old one, I altered the section title  -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 14:48, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: We've mentioned this and each instance pertaining to other communities in the article. By adding it also to the lead section with this edit, gives undue weight to it. The lead section gives an introduction and summary to the rest of the article. Currently it talks about how "in India it is a fundamental right..." (first para), "India is the birthplace of four major world religions..." and suddenly we single out this incident in Kashmir concerning the Shia community. It's just not relevant enough there. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 14:48, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Mention of Shia Muslims example in the lead

message: Actual incidents of violence shouldn't be mentioned here in such detail. Religious freedom violations include forced conversion, persecution and suppression of rights; full-fledged violence is more serious and belongs to Religious violence in India. I'm planning to trim the "Cases of religious violence" section. ‑Ugog Nizdast (talk) 13:05, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't get it. Why have you deleted major portions of the article on the pretext that it would come in religious violence article? Does religious violence not matter in "Freedom of religion"? ~ ScitDeiWanna talk? 06:51, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: At that rate, wouldn't this page and the religious violence page literally mirror each other? This page would literally become an indiscriminate collection of information. I fine with a smaller mention about religious violence. Moreover, pages like Freedom_of_religion_in_France and Freedom_of_religion_in_the_United_States talk about laws and actual conflicts of religious freedom with the state. Let's see if I can find anything to fill that up. ‑Ugog Nizdast (talk) 09:54, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree. "Religious Freedom" should talk about the social norms and conditions at large. Individual incidents should be mentioned only if representative of the society at large. We shouldn't miss the forest for the woods. - Kautilya3 (talk) 17:29, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
