view · edit Frequently asked questions (FAQ) To view an explanation to the answer, click the [show] link to the right of the question. Q1: Why does this article describe Jai Shri Ram negatively? A1: Wikipedia and its editors in no way intend to denigrate any culture, ethnicity, nationality, religion, or organisation. Wikipedia articles are based on what reliable sources say about the subject; the neutral point of view policy defines neutrality as representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic. Reliable sources note that Jai Shri Ram has been used in a negative way, and so this article notes that as well. This does not imply that the phrase Jai Shri Ram is inherently bad. Q2: I don't like what this article says! Can I edit it or at least suggest a change? A2: Yes, you may edit the article if it is not protected and you are sure that your change is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you are not sure about your change, or if you can't edit the article as it is protected, please suggest the change using an edit request. Please remember that your edit must satisfy the following: It must be supported by reliable sources. It must not involve removing negative information about the subject unless that information is not supported by a reliable source or does not meet another policy or guideline. Q3: This article says that Jai Shri Ram is used negatively, but I don't believe that it is used in such a way! Who is right? A3: Please remember that just because you have never seen Jai Shri Ram being used negatively doesn't mean that it is never used negatively. For example, you may have only seen cases where Jai Shri Ram was used positively, but at the same time, other people use the same subject negatively. The article does not say that Jai Shri Ram is always used negatively. On the contrary, it says that Jai Shri Ram has been used negatively in certain situations.

This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations: Sravasti Dasgupta (2 August 2020). "'Biased, anti-Hindu' — campaign begins against Wikipedia after it urges Indians to donate". ThePrint. Retrieved 3 August 2020. A social media campaign, spearheaded by prominent right-wing personalities accusing Wikipedia of being 'anti-Hindu', began trending Saturday, three days after the open-source information website asked Indian users to donate to 'defend Wikipedia's independence'. Omer Benjakob (5 November 2020). "A vicious culture war is tearing through Wikipedia". Wired (magazine). Retrieved 6 November 2020. The edit was the first in a struggle that raged for more than a year, with one side claiming it constituted a form of "Hinduphobia" and the other side saying it was an accurate portrayal of the religious term, which had been embraced by India's ruling party BJP and, according to some in the media, had become a "dog whistle" for nationalists.

I removed this massive collection of redundant references. Feel free to reincorporate them into the article. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 18:44, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone through the below sources:

(1), (2), (3) have passing mentions of how the slogan was linked to violent incidents.

Same for (7), (8), which additionally provide information on the rise of the BJP and Hindutva.

(9), (15), (21) I have added in the article. SerChevalerie (talk) 13:03, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
