There is a sentence in the lead, "These include the political party Bharatiya Janata Party, religious organisation Vishva Hindu Parishad, students union Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), religious militant organisation Bajrang Dal[11] that forms the youth wing of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), and the worker's union Bharatiya Kishan Sangh". Please change the last term to, "Bharatiya Kisan Sangh" - I think it was a typo. 2401:4900:2749:638:8C39:8738:D60F:71E8 (talk) 22:34, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove militant word from bajrang dal

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:37, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

edit request[edit]

the whole topic is protected. Alright, understandable. But passages like this provide equal weight to proponents of the ideology (who are not scholars or very good sources on the matter) as it does to the established scholarly opinion on the matter. This is POV and establishes a false epistemological dichotomy. I'll reproduce the passage I want edited.

"The political opponents of the Sangh Parivar have often termed Sangh Parivar's concerns about cultural intrusion by the Western commercial interests as 'Rightist'.^[1] David Frawley argues that the cause is similar to that of native and tribal people all over the world, like Native American and African groups trying to protect their native cultures.^[2]".

I suggest the reference to Frawley and the 'information' attributed to him should be disregarded and thus removed. Freyheytlid (talk) 20:11, 10 March 2023 (UTC) Freyheytlid (talk) 20:11, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Deleted the whole section. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:22, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Freyheytlid (talk) 11:16, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Babri Mosque Demolition[edit]

The paragraph regarding the BABRI MOUSQUE DEMOLITION only includes criticism from UPA (now I.N.D.I.A.). It ignores the Supreme Court ruling and statements given by RSS and NDA affiliated persons. Fierce Phoenix (talk) 15:30, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Members of the Sangh are called Swayamsevak, not Sanghi[edit]

The claim of "Members of the Sangh Parivar or the supporters of its ideology are called Sanghis." is wrong. Sanghi is an informal word, while Swayamsevak is the official term as per all the members of the Sangh Parivar

India2024 (talk) 19:20, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I tweaked the wording to indicate the informal nature. (It is not synonymous to "Swayamsevak". Check the citation.) -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:40, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is Wikipedia, you should use the formal official terminologies. The formal, official, and explicit recognised term is 'Swayamsevak'.

Kangana Ranaut is not a credible source of information. Also, a news article of Entertainment genre isn't suitable citation for a serious Wikipedia page about a socio cultural organization. India2024 (talk) 14:32, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
