Why is the '''UK''' listed? The Box should only be kept with the 3 powers, Soviets, US and Chinese. The UK i understand were selling weapons to both India and Pakistan, it did not support a party against another, certainly not Pakistan against its own insurgency either. I don't think mere sale of weapons was this particular article's rule precedent policy for listing a country in the support by section. ] (]) 19:25, 26 December 2023 (UTC) |

2 x IPs are constantly fixed on POV pushing by adding/deleting content to present one version of the story. They are likely socks as when one of them was reported to https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism another registered user jumped in to defend the IP. Reversions by three other editors including myself yielded no results. Removing sourced content and POV pushing is totally unacceptable. Phrases like 'West Pakistan Army' have never used nor have existed. Adding these only means that the editor is a POV pusher and / or a sock. ] <sup>] </sup> 23:21, 12 June 2015 (UTC) |

::::::: And that shall make the edit authentic? No, it wont. There's no argument here. One sided POV will not be allowed. No one gives a tosh about how Bangalis or Indians like to address the Pakistan Army. Pakistan Army is and was Pakistan Army even when Pakistan had two wings separated in the East and West and is still known as such. It's that simple. Show want to show that Pakistanis from the Western wing were 'outsider' and thus going by your definition, every Armyman who was fighting inside Bangladesh was a Westerner, but the fact is that even Eastern Pakistanis were part of the so called 'West Pakistan Army' and this 'western' army as you like to Push was not alien, but was headquartered in East Pakistan since the last 24 years. Just because Indians and (now) some Bengalis like to address them as such (which though is alright from their POV and perpecive, but it is not very common nor have been published in neutral sources - only those which pushes the Indian POV), it does not make it a fact nor it is a neutral POV that should be included in Misplaced Pages, because doing so would amount to POV pushing from the Indian POV. |

=== Deliberate Misinterpretation of Sources === |
|
|
|
:{{Reply-to|Ahammed Saad}} I haven't examined at the edits in question, but a common mistake is trying to cram too much information into the infobox, which defeats ] as a high level summary of the article. ] says the infobox shouldn't contain material not present in the article, which the current list of commanders already violates. It also says, "For wars, only prominent or notable leaders should be listed, with an upper limit of about seven per combatant column recommended. Ranks and position titles should be omitted." That's two more ways in which the current list deviates from convention. "Adding missing items" could be controversial if it makes the above violations even greater. See ] for more information. |
|
The reason behind the edit war which was initiated by the IPs was that it was adding 'sources' which did not support the text they were added to. I added a citation needed tag and resultantly the IP came up with certain sources which infact were not accurate. Ref # 13 and 14 added by the IP became the cause of the problem. I have gone through each source and can tell you that they do not support the text they are attached to. I would request editors to see it for yourself. |
|
|
|
:If you think your edits are in line with guidelines, the best way to gain consensus for them would be to break them into easy to understand groups of changes (like changes you want to make to the commanders section). For each batch, show the before and after versions side by side on this talk page, and explain why it's an improvement in terms of policies and guidelines. Comparisons with other articles can be drawn, but I recommend using only ] as examples, since there's no guarantee that any random article follows Misplaced Pages's rules any better than this article. --] (]) 13:14, 4 November 2024 (UTC) |

The sources DO NOT support the contention that ''"The ] became increasingly active, primarily because India’s forces fought along with the Mukti Bahini"''. Yes, India did support MB. But nowhere in these sources is the *fact* that this was the <u>primary</u> reason for MB activity supported. |

The sources DO NOT support the contention that ''"Establishment of Bangladesh was a desire of every Indian and that was why Indian forces were fighting along with the Mukti Bahini"''. The reason they don't is because that's a nonsense assertion. Look. I'm gonna spell it out. The idea that ''"Establishment of Bangladesh was a desire of every Indian"'' is stupid. It's idiotic. It's something that just cannot be true (was it the "desire" of every 10 month old Indian child? Did somebody take a freakin' poll and got 100% results? Was there a divine revelation and it was written in stone by an invisible hand?) Only a dedicated ]-pushing ] warrior could insert something that ridiculous into the article.

Modi recalled his participation in the Jana Sangh campaign backing Mukti Bahini in former East Pakistan as he accepted a ‘liberation war’ honour on behalf of former Indian premier Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Mr Modi also said he was one of the young volunteers who came to Delhi in 1971 to participate in the Satyagraha Movement launched by Jana Sangh as a volunteer to garner support for the Mukti Bahini members. Modi also admitted that there had been a conspiracy to divide Pakistan.''</blockquote> |

The sources DO NOT support the contention that "Establishment of Bangladesh was a desire of every Indian and that was why Indian forces were fighting along with the Mukti Bahini".

] uses the following piece of newspaper text: |
|
|
<blockquote>''Modi said the establishment of Bangladesh was a desire of every Indian citizen and that was why Indian forces fought along with the Mukti Bahini, thus creating a new country. Modi recalled his participation in the Jana Sangh campaign backing Mukti Bahini in former East Pakistan as he accepted a ‘liberation war’ honour on behalf of former Indian premier Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Mr Modi also said he was one of the young volunteers who came to Delhi in 1971 to participate in the Satyagraha Movement launched by Jana Sangh as a volunteer to garner support for the Mukti Bahini members. Modi also admitted that there had been a conspiracy to divide Pakistan.''<ref>{{cite news |title=Pakistan Urges UN to Take Note of Modi's Remark on 1971 War |newspaper=] |date=10 June 2015 |url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/Pakistan-Urges-UN-to-Take-Note-of-Modis-Remark-on-1971-War/2015/06/10/article2859365.ece}}</ref></blockquote> |

|
*"Establishment of Bangladesh was a desire of every Indian and that was why Indian forces were fighting along with the Mukti Bahini" |

*"The Mukti Bahini became increasingly active, primarily because India’s forces fought along with the Mukti Bahini (between March and June)." |

Over this issue PakSol has done quite a bit of edit warring and name calling. He also keeps repeating ], which looks slightly counter productive to me, as it warns - ''Most sources do not state their opinions as opinions, but as facts: "The hypno-toad is supreme" is more likely to be found than "our opinion is that the hypno-toad is supreme, but there are others who disagree with us."'' (]). |
|
|
|
|
|
The article is now protected, but the editor PakSol has still not received a consensus or sanction or any other community intevention. That may be required if we consider his warring attitude, ignorance of arguments, and, if I may say so, extreme hard-headedness in pushing his POV, which looks a bit like coming from Pakistani Army POV to me. But, that is just my conjecture, yet to be established. |

===== Comments ===== |

* '''Fake''' - As everybody knows, there is already an RfC asking whether Modi's comments should be included in the ] page. I opposed it there with the statement: ''The 1971 Bangladesh War is history. Reliable sources for history are historians, as specified in ]. Modi isn't a historian. It doesn't matter what he says. Misplaced Pages is not a mouthpiece for Modi. Neither is it a mouthpiece for Pakistani politicians.'' Since this RfC is asking how real are the claims, we have to know what the "claim" is in the first place. The version of the statement mentioned in the above quote, especially the bit "that was why Indian forces fought..." is clearly synthesis by Sartaz Aziz, because it doesn't appear in the version of Modi's speech published on the 7 June by ABP Live and others. Aziz seems to imply that the Indian forces were fighting alongside Mukti Bahini ''before'' the declaration of war by India on 3 December 1971. That is the sense in which ] (formerly called "PakSol") inserted the statement in this article. I haven't seen support for such a claim in any RS. Reliable sources such as the Raghavan's book and Gary Bass's book argue that there was a robust debate in India about what role India should play. There were hawks as well as doves. It is clear that Vajpayee and the Jana Sangh were among the hawks. Nobody remembers any of that. What is remembered, on the other hand, is Vajpayee's praise of Indira Gandhi as the "Goddess Durga" after India's victory, which presumably went to her head. - ] (]) 23:21, 14 June 2015 (UTC) |

:: Welcome to 2015. Now allow me to once again quote Indian Express to the exact word: ''During his official visit to Bangladesh, '''Modi last Sunday in Dhaka said the establishment of Bangladesh was a desire of every Indian citizen''' and '''that was why Indian forces fought along with the Mukti Bahini''', thus creating a new country.'' Now where does Aziz figure out in this statement? |
|
|
:: And we have been around this many times already, but then as you fail to understand a very simple thing, that Modi's statement is a new development where he HIMSELF admits primarily 4 x things: |
|
|
::* establishment of Bangladesh was a desire of every Indian citizen. |
|
|
::* that was why Indian forces fought along with the Mukti Bahini. |
|
|
::* Modi recalled his participation in the Jana Sangh campaign backing the rebels in former East Pakistan. |
|
|
::* Modi said he was one of the young volunteers who came to Delhi in 1971 to participate in the satyagraha launched by the Jana Sangh to garner support for the Mukti Bahini members. |
|
|
:: Now guess what, I didnt even change a word from what has been published in the New Indian Express (the source quoted by Aditiya). Please tell me, what's here to misinterpret or what is that which I have changed and more precisely what is there that I have '''claimed''' ? —] <sup>] </sup> 04:04, 15 June 2015 (UTC) |

:::''"Modi's statement is a new development where he HIMSELF admits primarily 4 x things"''. WHO. CARES. We CANNOT put "establishment of Bangladesh was a desire of every Indian citizen" into the article as if it was a fact just because a politician said that. We CANNOT put that into the article as it's a ridiculous claim. You - and PakSol - are deliberately misrepresenting a rhetorical statement by a politician for a factual claim and acting like Modi is some kind of reliable source for these facts. If Barrack Obama says "Americans are the greatest people on earth", we don't go running to the article on China and write "China's ok, but Americans are the greatest people on earth . This really isn't that hard to understand, so it's hard to escape the conclusion that the feigned incomprehension of this basic point is just that - a bad faith attempt to ] the rules and POV an article.] (]) 04:59, 15 June 2015 (UTC) |

I have nothing to hide, so you guys should stop acting and propagating as if by changing the username I have tried to become someone else. I have just exercised my right to change it, and you need to get over it, fast!

::::: Second, it is heartening to know that you now agree that "No one's disputing that Modi said that". Thankyou! Now let's move forward towards the actual issue. As already mentioned over and again (I dont need to get down to your level, so once should suffice), Misplaced Pages supports ], what Modi said is etched in the stone, clear as a day and quoted by numerous secondary sources. So, there is nothing to misinterpret (as the words are very simple English) and hence there is no need to judge whether it is the truth. It's a statement by a PM which reflects upon the events of 1971 and thus need to be added here. Had these words been said by let's say an ex-PM, a political leader who is not in office etc, in private capacity or while giving a random interview, I wouldnt have cared much. But then these were said at the world stage! |

|

:::::: Second, you are still playing games when you say "it is heartening to know that you now agree ...". You are pretending that somewhere this was disputed or that at some point I disagreed with this. I didn't. I disagreed with you misrepresenting sources. That's a different thing. |
