Anti-Hindu sentiment → Hinduphobia – The title should be WP:CONCISE.

• Moreover, the ngram results show "Hinduphobia" is a better title.
• Some sources- PPicazHist (talk) 08:12, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose Not scholarly and also not common. ArvindPalaskar (talk) 10:37, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  on what basis you claim that? PPicazHist (talk) 11:13, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support: The google news show its a widely used term. PPicazHist (talk) 11:20, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  Scholarly writing of Rajiv Malhotra in his book Hinduphobia: A Critique of Wendy Doniger’s Erotic School of Indology. PPicazHist (talk) 11:32, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  Rajiv Malhotra is a Hindutva ideologue and not a scholar. You should read WP:RS. - Ratnahastin (talk) 11:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose - Hinduphobia and Anti-Hindu sentiment are vastly different concepts. "Hinduphobia" is a neologism invented by the Hindutva right wing to limit the academic discourse on many topics and has been rejected by scholars as being both ahistorical and inappropriate. The sources cited by OP are a testament to this as most of them are from hindu pressure groups or Hindu nationalist aligned Godi media. - Ratnahastin (talk) 11:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose - I do not think that Ngrams really do support "Hinduphobia", if you compare "anti-Hindu" with "Hinduphobia" it is clear that "Hinduphobia" and "Hinduphobic" are rare terms in English; a more common term is "anti-Hindu". -- Toddy1 (talk) 12:34, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Toddy1 Hmm, I agree with you. Your ngram results are better. Thanks !

  • We would need some good years for this term to be popularized. This was just in the mainstream news today, so I thought it would be good. @Ratnahastin Not all news portals are Godi media, are they?
  • I take my proposal back, any editor can close this discussion.

  PPicazHist (talk) 13:02, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  I said "most" not "all". - Ratnahastin (talk) 13:04, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

  Moreover, You must know that even Godi media is a term coined by the leftists. I neither support lefts,not the rights. I support only truth. @Ratnahastin, Let's not escalate it further PPicazHist (talk) 13:07, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
