The involvement of BJP - which was barely a 4 year old party at the time of the riots with absolutely no political presence (0 MPs), and the RSS by extension is a manufactured lie that has surfaced only after the 2014 General Indian elections, where the Congress party was repeatedly questioned about their involvement in the riots. This lie is simply an attempt to dilute the involvement the Congress party in the riots. The quality of the citations made against each are not even comparable, where the ones against Congress are detailed professional reports by investigative agencies and a Supreme Court judge - which literally claims that the BJP workers "form committees in their areas to protect the Sikhs" (page 126 of JUSTICE NANAVATI COMMISSION OF INQUIRY report), and those against the BJP/RSS are "he said/she said" allegations by political opponents and other quotations from individual interviews, both of which are made at least 30 years after the fact, in what may only be considered as a malicious response to the growth in BJP's popularity nationally during the same time. If that is the minimum criteria for legitimate proof, here are some first hand eye witness accounts by Sikh people that deny any BJP/RSS involvement - https://www.quora.com/Were-RSS-or-BJP-members-involved-in-or-supported-the-1984-Sikh-massacre-directly-or-indirectly |

This is actually scary how this platform is being used to distort facts. This would be like someone taking a few quotations from random conspiracy theorists with no accountability claiming that France and England were also involved in the Jewish Holocaust, or that the US State department were somehow involved in the 9/11 attacks and using them as legitimate citations for the same, without finding it necessary then to provide any further details. ] (]) 18:44, 8 May 2024 (UTC) |

I did take a look and it seems that the involvement of the BJP/RSS is sourced mostly (one source is not available online) to a single claim made by an opposition party person so you might have a case unless there are other sources.

An edit of mine was reverted in which some suggest the events of 1984 were "not a genocide". Under what pretext are we assuming this was not a genocide? By sheer Misplaced Pages standards alone the events of 1746 are termed ] and 1762 as ]. Then how is 1984 not a genocide? Surely Indian government claims cannot be taken seriously, as they will deny it at all costs. Then surely the ground facts should be able to decipher if this was a genocide or not, and the facts clearly add up to a genocide having taken place. What I'm sensing here are double standards. A "genocide" only seems to happen when Muslims are the culprits. However when crazed right wing Hindu elements engage in the same behaviour it's passed off as a "riot". |

I would like to further add that California and Ontario state legislatures have also ruled it genocide - Numerous governmetn organizzations in wikileaks have aknowldged that congress gvt was repsonsible. Despite enourmous evidence, there are some people who want to inflict hurt and influence by referring to these events as riots. I've posted this before but @DBigXray is a hyperactive contributer on Indian issues and exhibits a consistant anti-sikh bias which has mislead on many pages relating to the events of 1984. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 21:19, 16 November 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

I would like to further add that in 2015 Dehli special assembly recognized the events as genocide. There is some room for debate about whether or not it is a pogrom or genocide - but terming the events as riots are a deliberate attempt to decieve. |

@Dbigxray I have caught him before and he is consistently involved in deceptive anti-sikh editing. I'm not sure if it is deliberate or if it is because he trusts and parrots Indian news media. It's important to understand India has intolerably low levels of Freedom of Press (138th ranking) so it's understandable that many of the prominant editors from India may simply not know they are being deceptive. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 12:33, 17 November 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Now In reference to your question, I'm sorry but ANYBODY can see how silly it is. The ONLY people who can rule on THIS matter are FOREIGN bodies such as states (connecticut, california), provinces (Ontario), and Intelligence agencies (CIA - via Wikileaks). WHY? BECAUSE INDIA IS THE ACCUSED in this MATTER. How can you not see that? How can you ask such a question? You think India can rule on it's own behavior? Can a murderur rule over his own murder trial? SECOND, India has a freedom of the press ranking at 138th!!! 138 is atrocioius. Unforgiveable for a democracy. Where is the outrage from Hindus my friend? I'm tired of Pro-India, Hindu bias on these Wikis. SIKHS feel this every single day as their voices are shut out of the media - while Hindus sit there thinking they're country is all good. In terms of freedom of speech, my friend, India is worse than Somalia for Sikhs. And pro-India Hindus have proven time and time again that they CANNOT be trusted to comment on political divisive matters regarding India on Misplaced Pages. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 09:07, 26 November 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Now talking about the content, ] states that ''A living person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until convicted by a court of law. Accusations, investigations and arrests do not amount to a conviction.'' The same can be extended to organization, Congress in this case. only accuses Congress. None of the sources so far claim Congress as an organisation was convicted into organising this riot. Hence this is clearly against the policies to introduce this accusations into infobox trying to put defamatory sentences so as to infer that conviction on Congress was handed in a court of law while all that exists is accusations. Infobox is not the place for this. |

*That parameter is inappropriate here, as is the "motive" parameter. Both those things are too complex for an infobox. That Congress members played a role is not really in dispute, but adding "Congress members" as perpetrators in the infobox (without any others) is an implication that no one else was involved, which is nonsensical (and is certainly not supported by the sources in question). The "Infobox civilian attack" is a fairly general infobox, covering a number of types of attacks. Not all parameters are applicable everywhere: riots are, almost by definition, incidents without a clearly defined body of perpetrators. Both motive and the identity of the perpetrators should be discussed in the text, where it can be presented in a nuanced manner. ] (]) 17:18, 2 December 2018 (UTC) |
|
|
:*Source describes in the chapter that how Congress played the major role. Treatment of congress as prepetrators is also described by other reliable sources and they don't dispute congress involvement. So far the motive is confirmed, and reliable sources state Congress were perpetrator. If you have any other reliable sources for confirming any other perpetrator of these riots then we can add them as well, but there is no reason to remove "Congress members", though it can be re-worded. Otherwise RfC would be the only option if it needs to be removed since it is standing for long and sources confirm the information. ] (]) 17:54, 2 December 2018 (UTC) |

Adding "Congress members" as the only perpetrators is explicitly saying that every single person who committed an act of violence in these riots was a member of the Congress. That is nonsense, and none of the sources you have provided say that. I don't have to provide sources for anything. You wish to claim that all perpetrators were Congress members; you need to provide sources supporting that, per ]. The role of the Congress should be discussed in the body, where this nuance may be examined. ] (]) 18:26, 2 December 2018 (UTC) |

:::It meets the definition provided at ]: "'''perpetrators''' – The group that brings about or carries out a harmful, illegal, or immoral act (use '''perpetrator''' in case of a single group)." If you have issues with "prepetrator'''s'''" then we can just use "prepetrator". I wonder if any source will say that "that all perpetrators were Congress members". If there are any other prepetrators mentioned in reliable sources then you are free to add them. ] (]) 18:48, 2 December 2018 (UTC) |

::::That's a misreading of the documentation. That makes sense for a well-defined group (or groups). It does not apply here, where the conflict was diffuse both in time and space, including hundreds (probably thousands) of individuals incidents. Also, the very fact that you are interested in adding the INC as a perpetrator but expect others to do the digging suggests that you are basing your edits on the notion that the INC was the only perpetrator; again, not something based on the sources. ] (]) 19:06, 2 December 2018 (UTC) |

:::::It is still sensible and the fact remains that it is not treating Congress as less or more, according to the sources. You can mention multiple reliable sources citing anyone other than Congress. If these sources had named any other prepetrator then we would be already aware of them. So far they have named nobody except Congress. We are doing same for years. If reliable sources make no mention of any other perpetrator then we should avoid it as well. It would make no sense to remove the parameter only because you assume that conflict included more groups. Even that would need to be supported by source otherwise that is just ]. ] (]) 21:05, 2 December 2018 (UTC) |

::::::That's not how that works. If you want to add an exceptional claim to the article, you need to demonstrate that it is supported by reliable sources. You haven't done so. INC involvement in the pogrom is discussed at length in the body, as it should be; don't try to shoehorn it into a place where it doesn't belong. ] (]) 21:50, 2 December 2018 (UTC) |

:::::*D4iNa4 it seems that you are either unable to understand Vanamonde's central point or you are showing deliberate ]. There are multiple issues about adding Congress Party as a perpetrator in the infobox. |
|
|
::::::perpetrators field is for the "The group" which has to be undisputed and well defined. Which is not the case here. Facts of the matter are some of the congress members stand accused for their involvement. But no source says that they are the only perpetrators here. The incident was spread over number of days and multiple locations, violent mobs including the members of the general public, Congress, BJP-RSS members, smaller fringe group members etc were reported by media as involved. By mentioning "Congress party members" you are claiming a conviction and squarely fixing the entire responsibility. This is not the job of Misplaced Pages editors to fix the blame on a person or a group. If there are indeed conviction that fixes the blame squarely on Congress Party as perpetrator and reliable sources report that only then can we use mention this in the infobox. As of now the reliable sources only claim involvement which needs to be discussed in the article body. So far no individual congress leader has been convicted and here you are trying to add "Congress Party" in the infobox. Only the involvement has been reported and that should be discussed in the article body and not the infobox. |
|
|
::::::The Infobox's purpose is to summarise the article content and report the undisputed facts and not mislead the reader into thinking something that is not even supported by facts. Hence these controversial content must be removed from the article infobox. --''<span style="text-shadow:0px 0px .3em LightSkyBlue;">]]</span>'' 16:12, 3 December 2018 (UTC) |

:::::::Don't comment on editors. You are still not giving up your false notion that the parameter concerns BLP. To answer, "But no source says that they are the only perpetrators here", this can be better answered if you have found any other perpetrators being supported by ] (not interviews or unreliable blogs). Above sources including HRW source says "''1984 anti-Sikh violence was led and often perpetrated by activists and sympathizers of the then-ruling party, the Indian National Congress, some of whom later became members of parliament or occupied posts in government. The police simply stood by, and were often complicit in the attacks. Instead of holding those responsible for the violence to account, many police officials and Congress party leaders involved have been promoted over the last 30 years.''" We can stick to this since this has left no doubt regarding how many perpetrators there were. |

::::::::A lot many Human rights organisation have implicated BJP members, some of them e.g. Kodnani are even convicted in ] by courts of law. Going by your logic we should also add a Perpetrator parameter as "BJP party members" over there. shouldn't we ? --''<span style="text-shadow:0px 0px .3em LightSkyBlue;">]]</span>'' 16:36, 3 December 2018 (UTC) |

::::::::::If you cannot find a source that says that they are the only perpetrators, then the issue is too nuanced for the infobox, and should be laid out in such detail as is reliably sourced in the text.

:::::::::{{ec|2}} I don't know why I have to keep repeating this, but the perpetrators field is inappropriate here and in similar cases. Even the source you just cited, Orientls, says '''often perpetrated'''. As in, its explicitly saying there were others. ] (]) 16:40, 3 December 2018 (UTC) |

Thanks you |

:::::::::So you are not disputing the attribution to "perpetrator" on factual basis? 2002 riots has a different infobox than this one. But I got your point. Since police investigations and corruption occur in every riot, I guess this will only lead to addition of governments as perpetrators everywhere else. How about we add '"]" to "attack type" parameter, and remove Congress from parameter? ] (]) 16:43, 3 December 2018 (UTC) |

The sources only claim that RSS and BJP didn't take any action against the pogrom. Such sources shouldn't be used to classify the parties as belligerents in the infobox Factpineapple (talk) 07:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
