Respected Sir/Ma'am, Wikipedia,
Hope your team are doing well. This article has been grossly edited and is filled with misinformation. This movie is purely based on true incidents and numerous testimonies by Kashmiri Pandits themselves. A particular section of the society causing such terror and genocide in Kashmir keeps on editing the page with fake news and misinformation with the intention of spreading Hinduphobia. They are insensitive towards the pain of the affected Kashmiri pandits.
Wikipedia has many regular reader, myself being one of them got shocked to read this page full of utter nonsense and cooked-up stories from anti-nationals and extremists. I believe your team and organization will do their own research and take necessary action to prevent spreading of fake and hurtful news.
Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Anonymous Avid Reader 2604:3D08:7C81:4700:1101:8778:553D:F851 ( talk) 05:46, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

The lede currently looks like this (Bold added by me):
The Kashmir Files is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language drama film written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri. The film presents a fictional storyline centred around an exodus of Kashmiri Hindus in the disputed region of Kashmir. It depicts the early 1990s exodus to be a genocide, a notion that is widely considered inaccurate and associated with conspiracy theories. disputed – discuss
This academic article from Academia.edu does describe the exodus as a genocide. [1] There are other scholarly sources that describe it as genocide or ethnic cleansing. [2] [3] [4] There's no "conspiracy theory" in place as the lede claims. Some sources may disagree how to interpret this event, but there doesn't seem to be an academic consensus that this is "widely considered" to not be genocide.

Approximately 3,00,000 Kashmiri pandits left Kashmir due to persecution by militants. It was the largest case of ethnic cleansing after the independence of India.
Most Kashmiri Pandits living in the Kashmir Valley left in 1990 as militant violence engulfed the state. Some 95% of the 160,000-170,000 community left in what is often described as a case of ethnic cleansing.
For example, it would not have been difficult for India to make life miserable enough to make huge numbers of Kashmiri Muslims flee across the border to Pakistan-controlled parts of Kashmir. In fact, the opposite occurred—the Indian state stood by while Muslim insurgents cleansed the Kashmir Valley of its large Hindu minority. By contrast, the Indian state had no problem pursuing more cooperative strategies.
I have been periodically following the above debate about the lede para of the article and it has gotten so long, convoluted (and heated) that even I have lost track of the various versions being proposed and whether the proposal is supposed to be temporary stand-in while the debate occurs, or a more "permanent" replacement. Its clear that the current participants are unlikely to hash out an universally acceptable agreement among themselves, and the very length of the discussion is likely to keep uninvolved editors out. So here is my proposal:
Some notes and tips:
Suggestions for modifying or improving the above process are welcome but since I regard this to be an an admin-action under AC/DS, I don't intend for that meta-discussion to be a free-for-all.

Abecedare, RegentsPark, the issue is very clear cut. An RfC hasn't happened yet only because Fowler has changed goalposts mid-course. The lead paragraph as it apears now is "Version 2":
The "Version 1" is the same text without the bod bit. TrangaBellam and I have opposed the bold bit because it is an WP:EXCEPTIONAL claim, which requires multiple reliable sources that discuss it in detail. But all we have is a vague allusion in Alexander Evans's journal article, without any discussion of the "conspiracy" about it.
The #Versions section did a straw-poll, where it is clear that Fowler is pretty much alone in his stance on the bold bit. The Talk:The Kashmir Files/Archive 11#Alexander Evans under question section probes what Evans actually says and how far we can take it.
Not also that there is no discussion about "conspiracy theories" in the body of the article, as required for MOS:LEAD, and no such commentary is even allowed in the lead paragraph as per WP:FILMLEAD. So, all this is against policy, and against editor consensus. It is just one editor's effort to bully the community. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 13:34, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

“The Kashmir Files” is not subtle. Numerous scenes show angry and bloodthirsty Muslims leering at Hindu women, and inflicting torture and humiliations upon Hindu families. Though Hindus make up four-fifths of India’s population, the film presents Kashmir as a cautionary tale—that a large group of Muslims could at any moment turn against Hindus. To see it as anything other than a glorified exercise in stigmatization and fearmongering would be a mistake. And it was released in India at an especially perilous time. Communal violence directed at India’s Muslim minority has risen steeply in recent years.
While “The Kashmir Files” seeks to portray the genuine hardships faced by Kashmiri Hindus, it is missing vital historical context.
Recently, on Twitter and in the press, [Vivek Agnihotri] has attacked much of the coverage of the movie, saying it is based on an anti-Indian and anti-Modi agenda. His rhetoric echoes that of many of Modi’s supporters, who attribute opposition to the Prime Minister’s policies—and concerns about Indian democracy—to a bigoted anti-Hinduism.

“The Kashmir Files” is a soft, emotional film.-- Kautilya3 ( talk) 20:32, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
Singapore’s decisive stance on the film is reflective of its robust, interventionist approach to the management of multiculturalism and diversity in the city state. The governing People’s Action Party in Singapore has long perceived issues of ethnicity and religion as highly sensitive and requiring close management. Academic Walid Jumblatt Abdullah has referred to this as muscular secularism – “a direct, interventionist approach” to ensure “the submission of religion to the overarching authority of the state, rendering the state the final arbiter in all affairs within its borders”. ... While Singapore favoured a ban as a means of protecting its secularism, the BJP used the film as a way to legitimise its Hindu nationalist discourse, further fracturing communal relationships in an increasingly polarised India.
