Have South Asians never suffered persecution in Britain ?-- Streona ( talk) 17:17, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
OK not official persecution- but discrimination, harassment are forms of hate crime, and I am against it. The article mentions anti-Asian behaviour in Africa and America, but does not cover other areas and perhaps it should, especially as Asian people seem to be the main target of fascist gangs like the BNP. The refernce you give is about how Asians feel about themselves, not how others feel about them. -- Streona ( talk) 18:50, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Strongly agree with this. Just looking at the comments in any article on the IAF rejection of the Typhoon will show how much Indophobia exists in Britain (or at least England). Ummonk ( talk) 03:20, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Indophobia's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

The term isn't well defined and is used differently in different contexts. It is rather weird to define "Indophobia" as "prejudices against South Asian peoples, including Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Pakistanis, and Sri Lankans" and then have a secton on "anti-Indian sentiment" in Bangladesh (where 'India' clearly stands for "Republic of India"). There is also significant overlap with Anti-Hinduism. -- dab (𒁳) 12:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Propose to merge Indophobia in Pakistan into this article, since it is not long or developed enough itself. If then it becomes a very long article an the article mentioned should be created. Reason of this being a separate article without this article facing any long article issues becomes an undue weight issue. Consider creating subheadings using heading levels under the same article. -- lTopGunl ( talk) 18:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
I've listed this page in merger requests. Just because it is a stub isn't the reason I tagged it to be merged. The information is a POVFORK and is deliberately being given WP:UNDUE weight. -- lTopGunl ( talk) 20:09, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
This article ( Indophobia in Pakistan) has been recently created as a "spin-off" from Indophobia but the parent article itself needs proper expansion. Please comment on the merger proposal of this article with Indophobia. Refer to the arguments on talk discussion. -- lTopGunl ( talk) 10:53, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
As of now, I respect this decision and will merge the two myself. However, subsequently the topic may have more material and merit an article of its own once again. Unfortunately, as of now Indophobia in Pakistan has NPOV tag etc. Since it is easier to work on it while seperate I intend to remove the indicated faults at its present location and merge it when its tags are removed. Hope this is acceptable to other editors. AshLin ( talk) 04:15, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
I suggest we start with post merge clean ups and reduce the content to a proper weight for this article. Currently the whole Indophobia in Pakistan article is simply dumped here. I invite User:AshLin and other interested users to help as it might be likely that they object to simple chopping off. User:Smsarmad has recommended my suggestion to rewrite the sections to reduce content. -- lTopGunl ( talk) 00:48, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
An Indian strategic thinker Ashok Kapur opines that the Two Nation Theory has served Pakistan well and is a continuing source of Indophobia in Pakistan - it helped it gain an independent nation; it enabled Pakistan to gain one third of Kashmir by force of arms in 1947 and to lay claim to it in entirety; it enabled the displacement of Muslim politicians of Indian origin such as Jinnah and Liaqat Ali Khan and the Mohajir community by the Punjabi elite; and also helped to cement the nation and prevent civil war between the provinces
I have been working on a few articles on Indo-Bangladesh relations. What I read on the subject paints a picture of India treating Bangladesh somewhat as an enemy quite vividly. But, the text here makes it look like a problem with growing intolerance in Bangladesh. Right at this point it isn't looking like much WP:NPOV to me. Shall I try to make it more balanced? Aditya( talk • contribs) 13:09, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
Three quick searches using google books, google scholar and google news has shed a completely new light on the subject of "Indophobia." There is hardly any use of the term that relates to any of India's neighbors - Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri lanka. It is a concept from 19th century, and the only significant 20th century use is pertinent to Eastern Africa. Putting together all instances of anti-indian sentiments across South Asia may be an example of WP:SYNTH (there in more reference to Indophobia associated with Papua New Guinea than Bangladesh). Making the collection of those instances the larger part of the article may be an example of WP:UNDUE. The material on those sentiments and instances are good to be merged into individual foreign relation articles. May be this is another misunderstanding like Indosphere. Will be checking for more details. Aditya( talk • contribs) 06:00, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
There are islamic organizations in Bangladesh which have hostility towards India as one of thier primary objectives. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently called out Bangladesh on this a few months ago I believe. Also, in Bangladesh a military coup was just recently prevented by military officers who were right wing Islamists who were unhappy with the growing cordial relations between the two nations. 174.1.73.129 ( talk) 07:34, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

The entire section Killing of Bangladeshis by Indian BSF is sourced to OP-Eds or do not mention any sort of Indophobia. I will give it a week and unless reliable sources are found I will remove it. The entire section Cyber warfare has not one source which says the hacking is due to any sort of anti Indian feelings. I will give it one week for reliable sources which do describe these hacks as being some form of anti Indian sentiment or that to will go.

The sourcing may be bad. But, the info is not. Check reports by Deccan Herald, Times of India, The Independent, and The Daily Star - all respectable newspapers. These reports also explicitly mention the reason for the hacking spree. Aditya( talk • contribs) 04:50, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Anti-Indian sentiment in Pakistan has it's origins in Kashmir, not during the British Raj, those topics can go under anti-Hindu sentiment. No mention of Kashmir at all, which is where the problem lies. 69.165.246.181 ( talk) 05:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
References
The entire "Terrorism" section currently refers to internal conflicts in India. I don't see how internal conflicts in India can be described as anti-Indian. The three groups mentioned specifically, to whom the anti-state violence is attributed, are: "Islamic, Naxalite and ethnic nationalist radical movements". All of these groups are Indian themselves, as are the Punjabis/Sikhs later mentioned. I don't understand how sub-groups of Indians can be considered anti-Indian. Are they against themselves? They may be against the Indian state, but that doesn't constitute Indophobia in my mind. They might be anti-government, anti-capitalist, or anti-Hindu, for instance, but none of those things strikes me as Indophobic.
I would like to remove this entire "Terrorism" section, because I don't feel it relates well to the topic, as it stands now. Then, if someone wants to write something that describes terrorism in a way that is Indophobic, they could always write a new section later. At the moment, I think it would be easier to remove it entirely, than to try to modify it, as none of the examples currently given in that section (I don't count the "See also" in this) can be rightly considered examples of Indophobia. I thought I would put it in the Talk section first before I remove it. -- Kevintreg ( talk) 01:27, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

The section on Sri Lanka (the only one that I read, to be honest) is heavily biased in favor of India. While nothing that's in there is specifically false, some of the stuff on there is outdated- Tamils in Sri Lanka haven't been regarded as Indian spies since the '80s; since the war started, the Tamils were regarded as the LTTE's spies in Sinhala areas- the wording in that former part should be in the past tense. Also, I added a SOURCED statement about RAW's (and, by extension), Delhi's involvement in training and arming the LTTE. Please do not remove this unless you have a very good reason for doing so (and I can't think what such a reason would be).
That entire section needs reworking, to stop the Lankans from looking like paranoid racists, but I have't attempted to address this myself until someone from WikiProject India agrees. I know just how bad subcontinent rivalries and delusions are, and have no intention of getting my IP banned because there's folks that want the article to describe a narrative rather than set out facts. 84.92.64.170 ( talk) 22:26, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Anti-Indian sentiment or Persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh written in this article seems to be Anti-Bangladeshi sentiment.
The first sentence written in the content of Bangladesh is "Even though India played key role in the independence of Bangladesh....". This type of statement can play a good role in spreading hatred.😠 Carry on and write more.
If the editors don't want contempts , they should write judiciously. If you search in India, you will also find such people who hates his/her own motherland. It doesn't mean India has Indophobia. It means that some people don't love their country. It's same in Bangladesh. There are many contradictory issues (political and others) between Bangladesh and India.
On the other hand, the term "Indophobia" implies the negative feelings and hatred towards the Indians and Indian culture. I am opposed to some informations of Wikipedia but it doesn't mean I have "Wikiphobia".
The conceptions about India in Bangladesh is unlike Pakistan and other rivalry countries. There are some political complexities between India and Bangladesh but there are immense similarities between two cultures. In the villages, Muslims often perform some funeral deeds taken from their Hinduistic counterparts by mistake. Some people have inimical conceptions about Hindus and they can do harm but these should not be written in this way. আলবি রেজা ( talk) 07:06, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi,
I think this article does not violate wikipedia policies
WikiLinuz, can you elaborate why you reverted this? The sources do say that!- Y2edit? ( talk) 18:18, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Where in the source does it say NYTFor some, the outrage was mismatched to what the job posting actually said. With the likes of Zee News and Wion spending hours implying that the job posting demanded a candidate who was anti-Modi and anti-India – even though it did not explicitly say so – the issue got a lot more airtime than it needed.
“I frankly thought this was a storm in a teacup,” said a former editor of a business magazine. “I could not find anything that was anti-Hindu or anti-Modi about the posting.”
“It would normally be very questionable but the advertisement hasn’t overtly suggested that they want a journalist who will write with a particular slant,” she said.

American newspaper The New York Times has found itself subjected to backlash over a recent job advertisement it posted seeking a South Asia Business Correspondent based in New Delhi, with various Twitter users and some media outlets saying it reads like an 'op-ed' and that it is inviting 'anti-Hindu, anti-Modi candidates to spread propaganda'.
- Y2edit? ( talk) 02:40, 5 April 2022 (UTC)“India’s future now stands at a crossroads. Mr. Modi is advocating a self-sufficient, muscular nationalism centered on the country’s Hindu majority. That vision puts him at odds with the interfaith, multicultural goals of modern India’s founders. The government's growing efforts to police online speech and media discourse have raised difficult questions about balancing issues of security and privacy with free speech. Technology is both a help and a hindrance.”

The BBC World Service poll in the lead purports to ask about people's "views of India's influence." What does this have to do with anti-Indian sentiment? You can believe that the Indian state exerts a negative/positive influence in the world without having inherently negative/positive views of Indians, as individuals or even collectively.

An Indian strategic thinker Ashok Kapur opines that the Two Nation Theory has served Pakistan well and is a continuing source of Indophobia in Pakistan - it helped it gain an independent nation; it enabled Pakistan to gain one third of Kashmir by force of arms in 1947 and to lay claim to it in entirety; it enabled the displacement of Muslim politicians of Indian origin such as Jinnah and Liaqat Ali Khan and the Mohajir community by the Punjabi elite; and also helped to cement the nation and prevent civil war between the provinces
I have been working on a few articles on Indo-Bangladesh relations. What I read on the subject paints a picture of India treating Bangladesh somewhat as an enemy quite vividly. But, the text here makes it look like a problem with growing intolerance in Bangladesh. Right at this point it isn't looking like much WP:NPOV to me. Shall I try to make it more balanced?

Three quick searches using google books, google scholar and google news has shed a completely new light on the subject of "Indophobia." There is hardly any use of the term that relates to any of India's neighbors - Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri lanka. It is a concept from 19th century, and the only significant 20th century use is pertinent to Eastern Africa. Putting together all instances of anti-indian sentiments across South Asia may be an example of WP:SYNTH (there in more reference to Indophobia associated with Papua New Guinea than Bangladesh). Making the collection of those instances the larger part of the article may be an example of WP:UNDUE. The material on those sentiments and instances are good to be merged into individual foreign relation articles. May be this is another misunderstanding like Indosphere. Will be checking for more details. Aditya( talk • contribs) 06:00, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
There are islamic organizations in Bangladesh which have hostility towards India as one of thier primary objectives. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently called out Bangladesh on this a few months ago I believe. Also, in Bangladesh a military coup was just recently prevented by military officers who were right wing Islamists who were unhappy with the growing cordial relations between the two nations. 174.1.73.129 ( talk) 07:34, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

The entire section Killing of Bangladeshis by Indian BSF is sourced to OP-Eds or do not mention any sort of Indophobia. I will give it a week and unless reliable sources are found I will remove it. The entire section Cyber warfare has not one source which says the hacking is due to any sort of anti Indian feelings. I will give it one week for reliable sources which do describe these hacks as being some form of anti Indian sentiment or that to will go.

The sourcing may be bad. But, the info is not. Check reports by Deccan Herald, Times of India, The Independent, and The Daily Star - all respectable newspapers. These reports also explicitly mention the reason for the hacking spree. Aditya( talk • contribs) 04:50, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Anti-Indian sentiment in Pakistan has it's origins in Kashmir, not during the British Raj, those topics can go under anti-Hindu sentiment. No mention of Kashmir at all, which is where the problem lies. 69.165.246.181 ( talk) 05:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
References
The entire "Terrorism" section currently refers to internal conflicts in India. I don't see how internal conflicts in India can be described as anti-Indian. The three groups mentioned specifically, to whom the anti-state violence is attributed, are: "Islamic, Naxalite and ethnic nationalist radical movements". All of these groups are Indian themselves, as are the Punjabis/Sikhs later mentioned. I don't understand how sub-groups of Indians can be considered anti-Indian. Are they against themselves? They may be against the Indian state, but that doesn't constitute Indophobia in my mind. They might be anti-government, anti-capitalist, or anti-Hindu, for instance, but none of those things strikes me as Indophobic.
I would like to remove this entire "Terrorism" section, because I don't feel it relates well to the topic, as it stands now. Then, if someone wants to write something that describes terrorism in a way that is Indophobic, they could always write a new section later. At the moment, I think it would be easier to remove it entirely, than to try to modify it, as none of the examples currently given in that section (I don't count the "See also" in this) can be rightly considered examples of Indophobia. I thought I would put it in the Talk section first before I remove it. -- Kevintreg ( talk) 01:27, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

The section on Sri Lanka (the only one that I read, to be honest) is heavily biased in favor of India. While nothing that's in there is specifically false, some of the stuff on there is outdated- Tamils in Sri Lanka haven't been regarded as Indian spies since the '80s; since the war started, the Tamils were regarded as the LTTE's spies in Sinhala areas- the wording in that former part should be in the past tense. Also, I added a SOURCED statement about RAW's (and, by extension), Delhi's involvement in training and arming the LTTE. Please do not remove this unless you have a very good reason for doing so (and I can't think what such a reason would be).
That entire section needs reworking, to stop the Lankans from looking like paranoid racists, but I have't attempted to address this myself until someone from WikiProject India agrees. I know just how bad subcontinent rivalries and delusions are, and have no intention of getting my IP banned because there's folks that want the article to describe a narrative rather than set out facts. 84.92.64.170 ( talk) 22:26, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Anti-Indian sentiment or Persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh written in this article seems to be Anti-Bangladeshi sentiment.
The first sentence written in the content of Bangladesh is "Even though India played key role in the independence of Bangladesh....". This type of statement can play a good role in spreading hatred.😠 Carry on and write more.
If the editors don't want contempts , they should write judiciously. If you search in India, you will also find such people who hates his/her own motherland. It doesn't mean India has Indophobia. It means that some people don't love their country. It's same in Bangladesh. There are many contradictory issues (political and others) between Bangladesh and India.
On the other hand, the term "Indophobia" implies the negative feelings and hatred towards the Indians and Indian culture. I am opposed to some informations of Wikipedia but it doesn't mean I have "Wikiphobia".
The conceptions about India in Bangladesh is unlike Pakistan and other rivalry countries. There are some political complexities between India and Bangladesh but there are immense similarities between two cultures. In the villages, Muslims often perform some funeral deeds taken from their Hinduistic counterparts by mistake. Some people have inimical conceptions about Hindus and they can do harm but these should not be written in this way. আলবি রেজা ( talk) 07:06, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi,
I think this article does not violate wikipedia policies
WikiLinuz, can you elaborate why you reverted this? The sources do say that!- Y2edit? ( talk) 18:18, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Where in the source does it say NYTFor some, the outrage was mismatched to what the job posting actually said. With the likes of Zee News and Wion spending hours implying that the job posting demanded a candidate who was anti-Modi and anti-India – even though it did not explicitly say so – the issue got a lot more airtime than it needed.
“I frankly thought this was a storm in a teacup,” said a former editor of a business magazine. “I could not find anything that was anti-Hindu or anti-Modi about the posting.”
“It would normally be very questionable but the advertisement hasn’t overtly suggested that they want a journalist who will write with a particular slant,” she said.

American newspaper The New York Times has found itself subjected to backlash over a recent job advertisement it posted seeking a South Asia Business Correspondent based in New Delhi, with various Twitter users and some media outlets saying it reads like an 'op-ed' and that it is inviting 'anti-Hindu, anti-Modi candidates to spread propaganda'.
- Y2edit? ( talk) 02:40, 5 April 2022 (UTC)“India’s future now stands at a crossroads. Mr. Modi is advocating a self-sufficient, muscular nationalism centered on the country’s Hindu majority. That vision puts him at odds with the interfaith, multicultural goals of modern India’s founders. The government's growing efforts to police online speech and media discourse have raised difficult questions about balancing issues of security and privacy with free speech. Technology is both a help and a hindrance.”

The BBC World Service poll in the lead purports to ask about people's "views of India's influence." What does this have to do with anti-Indian sentiment? You can believe that the Indian state exerts a negative/positive influence in the world without having inherently negative/positive views of Indians, as individuals or even collectively.
