Misperception in mention of Article 370 in this page.

The article states The Article 370 of the Constitution that granted a nominally autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir, is named as one of the reasons for the displacement of the Kashmiri Pandits source given by editor it

• Misrepresentation 1 : Mention of nominally
  • Source nowhere says 370 is nominal
  • In truth - Article 370 was titled as "Temporary, Transitional and Special Provisions".

Wikipedia policy WP:Verifiability. And we expect that the editors will have a certain level of competence to check if something is verifiable. Every word and every fact in a complicated history of 70 years cannot be reduced to individual sources. You need to be able to go read stuff and understand.

In any case, here is a source that uses the exact same terminology [1]. I am not going to engage with you further, while continue to produce endless lists of bad faith arguments and complaints. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 04:11, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Notes misrepresents data from source given by editor

Notes reads : 89 Hindus were killed by militants between 1990 and 2021, while 1,724 people of other faiths (mainly Muslims) were killed during the same period
Source reads : 89 Kashmiri Pandits, 1,635 people of other faiths were also killed during the same period.

• Misrepresentation 1  : 89 Hindus (Notes) Vs 89 Kashmiri Pandits(Source)
  • Notes assume there was no Hindu apart from Kashmiri Pandits.
• Misrepresentation 2  : 1,635 people of other faiths (Notes) vs 1,724 people of other faiths (Source)

The Kashmiri Pandits sobbed throughout screening, noding analogous faithful portrayal of the genocide on screen happened at no time. Film has housefull encompassing country, promulgate megahit, with twentyfour seven shows, with recurrent audiences. With staggering support from public, government made it tax free in several states.

Rhode Island in lead

Perhaps the claim about Rhode Island should be attributed? The source repeats Vivek's claim, but the certificate from the Rhode Island House of Representatives he provides as proof does not use "genocide"; it uses "ethnic cleansing". Now, that's a primary source so I'm not suggesting changing what Vivek said, only that it be made clear that Vivek is the one saying that the state of Rhode Island "officially recognised Kashmir Genocide". (I can find no sources that mention Rhode Island's certificate except those quoting Vivek.) Schazjmd (talk) 23:53, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

I was literally just looking at that. It also looks suspect, as the Rhode Island house of representatives isn't likely to use the wording "Islamic Gangs." Even if it's legit, it's not recognition by the state, it's a citation to an individual by one part of the state government. It also does not say genocide.

The discussion should focus on improving this article and has to happen on its talk page. Wikipedia is not a WP:FORUM. Also see: WP:OTHERCONTENT. Moreover, repeated WP:OWN assertions are not helping in building a consensus. We need reliable sources on the historical accuracy and messaging of the film. Apart from the problems pointed out by Dsnb07, the current section is predominantly presenting the movie review of a trainee journalist at The Print, as reliable accounts of the events. They should merely be presented as reviewers opining on the accuracy and be properly attributed. The other sources, also movie reviews or references not about the film (see WP:OR), are not scholarly sources of its accuracy. Tariqabjotu and Shahid have pointed out to this effect earlier.

Kautilya3, this appears to be correct.

After spending 16 years in jail, Karate was released on bail without conviction. Judge N.D. Wani, while releasing him, remarked that the “allegations levelled against the accused are of serious nature and carry a punishment of death sentence or life imprisonment but the fact is that the prosecution has shown total disinterest in arguing the case.”

Karate is a free man today while his victims have given up on justice.

The tone should be politics neutral. Remove all political tones and replace both exodus and genocide word with incidents Saranshhalwai (talk) 16:33, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Archiving

I have set the archive bot to archive threads inactive for 2 days, since this talk page is growing humongously. That puts the ONUS on the initiators of the threads to keep the discussion going. If you absolutely must, you can do {{subst:pin section}} to keep the section. But unless the discussion moves, somebody will eventually get tired of it and release it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:54, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

@Kautilya3 We need a FAQ. I am very busy IRL but will try to write one, this weekend. TrangaBellam (talk) 10:08, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

I don't understand this? Literally any film article on Wikipedia that is developed to a standard has information that goes well into detail about financials, whether it be as recent as The Batman or something as old as Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. 2001:8F8:172B:3784:700F:17C2:1D83:EE4A (talk) 18:29, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir

Some of you must try to make the, "Human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir" article also more neutral (I don't think it is now).-Y2edit? (talk) 18:21, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Neutral point of view is essence on Wikipedia. Sometime some articles such as this one become is causality, already raised several NPOV issues and many of them remained unaddressed. Dsnb07 (talk) 00:27, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Language - Kashmiri

Since there is significant Kashmiri also spoken in the film, it should also be added with Hindi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.237.26.45 (talk) 18:02, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

In fact this addition request should be accepted. There were a lot of local Kashmiri spoken whether it may be slogals raised by the terrorists or normal conversations between people of Kashmir. In the movie, however, English subtitles were provided whenever the Kashmiri was spoken. Shivamtiwari 22 (talk) 21:09, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Shivamtiwari 22, Welcome to Wikipedia. This is not the place to discuss the dialogues of the film, this space is for raising any issues in the article. I hope you will not misuse the space again. Thankyou and Happy editing. _signed, 511KeV ^(talk) 05:27, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Adding to Category:Propaganda films films?

Thread retitled from "Adding to [Category:Propaganda films] films?". — DaxServer (t · m · c) 11:03, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

The article "The Kashmir Files" itself says and I quote - "Critics have accused the film of being.. propaganda". So an accusation by a few critics will be treated as truth.

Dsnb07 (talk) 00:54, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Definitely accusation by some film critics as propaganda is not truth. These films critics are not Scholar. Dev0745 (talk) 05:46, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

I agree. Request editor to correct it. Dsnb07 (talk) 18:26, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

The Movie is based on True Stories and people who felt exposed with this movie started this narrative calling it a Propaganda movie. Movie is well received by majority and is growing popularity. Categorizing this is propaganda movie is an Injustice to movie makers. Srinath66 (talk) 16:27, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Request editors to correct it. Dsnb07 (talk) 18:27, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

• Comment - It is not an obvious "propaganda film", even though it is said to have large elements of propaganda in it. I don't think we have evidence to call it a "propaganda film". -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:17, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

it is not at all a propaganda film but bursting propaganda of left Ranita negi (talk) 20:30, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Opinionated opening paragraph - portrayed as a genocide

Thread retitled from "Opinionated opening paragraph".

“The Kashmiri exodus is portrayed as a genocide” Genocide meaning - the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group A large number of Kashmiri Pandits (an ethnic group) were killed and forced to leave (exodus) their homes during the event in question. There is no need to call it a portrayal of a genocide. 122.161.72.254 (talk) 08:42, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

We are beholden to scholars who do not support such an assessment. Consult our policy on orig. research. Thanks, TrangaBellam (talk) 10:09, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Somebody removed it again. I will readd it with additional sources. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:22, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@Kautilya3: You are replying at the correct thread? The IP editor wants to characterize the events as genocide in wiki-voice. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:34, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Anger issues

X-Editor changed in this edit, "anger of Pandits" into "anger towards Pandits". I have no idea what he is up to. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:27, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

I changed the line to say "of" instead of "towards". X-Editor (talk) 21:39, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Related to the same edit, "reviewing for" is more accurate than "of". For eg, Tuteja has written for Koimoi and Bollywood Hungama, just in the past week. I've changed it for reviewers who I know have writings in other publications. Hemantha (talk) 03:06, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Pinging @Pri2000, Kautilya3, and Ab207:. Abecedare (talk) 19:03, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Notwithstanding with some problematic WP:OR, the word count is increased to 754 following Pri2000's additions. Unnecessary details should be removed to bring down the size and comply with 700 word limit per WP:FILMPLOT. -- Ab207 (talk) 19:18, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Pri2000, please note Ab207's comment. You had also added a value-laden label "Kashmiri terrorism", which cannot be used with without WP:RS and attributions. The character names have been written as "Shiva", "Brahma" etc. in numerous published sources. Your expansion of the Cast section is also unwieldy (and includes contentious terms like "truth" and "terrorism" again). Please read MOS:FILM before making any further attempts to edit this section. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:35, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

• @Abecedare hey I've removed ANU from the plot section. But rest I changed after watching the movie today itself. Please let me know if any other changes are needed. Pri2000 (talk) 19:19, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@Abecedare ok. But please don't remove slogans which were used. It was Mustafa Batte Safa and Azaadi Azaadi was also used in whole movie. Whether in flashbacks of genocide or in present. Pri2000 (talk) 19:39, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@Abecedare and one more thing to be noted that Brahma was called Brahma by Pushkar and friends only. Others called him Brahm Dutt. Similarly Shiva's name was mentioned Shiv Pandit and Shiva was just his nickname when his childhood friend turned terrorist Bitta's son Abdul gave his interview to Krishna Pri2000 (talk) 19:41, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Now some of these wikipedia editors are just being extremely biased. Its ok if you have problems with the film and filmmakers but can these people be a little professional? They just removed all the box office details of the film by saying its not a "financial log". Like seriously doing anything to discredit the films success.. If you look at the box office section of any huge blockbuster Bollywood film like PK or Dangal, its well detailed. But its not ok when it comes to The Kashmir Files because these biased editors can't digest the success of the film right? someone please fix this shit asap, thank you!SGiaNaksh (talk) 18:22, 18 March 2022 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by SGiaNaksh (talk • contribs) 13:10, March 18, 2022 (UTC)

Bias in Government supportsection

references to an IT cell seem to have no basis in the article used as a source. The article mentions "WhatsApp forwards" and governmental support through removal of some taxes but no reference to an IT cell or propaganda as the author has stated on wiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Diamondsinthesky1935 (talk • contribs) 09:23, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Copying the content below. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:33, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I would suggest that you read the article again then. It explicitly mentions the IT Cell and describes it as the "BJP's propaganda unit". Tayi Arajakate _Talk 05:27, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

The BJP Information and Technology Cell, known for being the party's propaganda unit, promoted the film with its head raising calls for people to watch it.

• Apart from Bhupesh Baghel, Please add more opposition leaders who are asked for tax-free status. adding one more here.

Wordplay impact neutrality of the article

I humbly request all editors to please refrain from unintentional/intentional wordplay which can change the meaning of sentences and reduces wiki:NOPV of the article. One such example is changing word from urge to call log

Dsnb07 (talk) 02:05, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

call seems to be a better wording than urge. I don’t see any problem with it DaxServerOnMobile (talk) 14:16, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

It is very clear that "Call" is used in negative connotation, where as it was "request" so urge is right work. Dsnb07 (talk) 18:14, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
