This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Add to the top of the page:
"Bengali genocide" redirects here. For the 1943 British-engineered famine in Bengal province, see Bengal famine of 1943.
Reasoning
Although there is not expert consensus in the imperial countries about whether the 1943 famine constitutes genocide, individuals searching for Bengali genocide might nonetheless be looking for the 1943 event, as several reputable/scholarly sources have accused Churchill and the perpetrators of the famine of genocide, or at least likened the consequences of British policy to genocide. Search queries for "Bengali genocide" mostly refer to the 1971 genocide that is the subject of this article. The precedent for this change has also clearly been set by pointers to the Holodomor in Ukrainian genocide.
Looking at the first citation, a PDF hosted on the expired domain "genocidebangladesh.org" doesn't look academic in nature at all. Self published sources are not reliable and hence not allowed, specially on such a contentious topic.
The citation that supports the claim: "Hindus were especially targeted" i.e. the book "The blood telegram" by Mr. Gary J. Bass does not include specific evidence to support his claim. He doesn't report how many causalities were Hindus as opposed to Muslims to provide concrete evidence that Hindus were specifically targeted. According to the mainstream consensus, the reason of conflict was "which language should be used in Bangladesh Urdu or Bangla" and not religion. At best, I would consider his work to be cited using in-text attribution. See WP:Biased.
While atrocities happened at Bangladesh liberation war, but the mainstream consensus is that the conflict happened due to language and not religion. Promoting the narrative that "Hindus are in danger" is not only dangerous but also serves as propaganda tool to the ruling Indian Hindu nationalist Bhartiya Janta Party and puts the lives of Muslims in neighboring countries in danger.
I would recommend a serious probe into the citations of this article. And correct the tone to make it more objective, disinterested and neutral. Panacia64 (talk) 15:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
