This page was promoting hatred towards dalits , therefore I have made it neutral. If it is reverted , then it means Wikipedia promotes hatred.--Anirudh77710:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
BULL. This article now paints V.T. as some kind of hateful person. he is not. The Dalit Voice is not a ethnic cleansing hate site. I am changing it. And you can take your silly 'if you don't agree with me then you are evil' logic and shove it. --Zaphnathpaaneah08:03, 30 July 2006 (UTC)<** Above users have been indefblocked for racial attacks **>[reply]
WTF.How does it matter if he is anit-this anti-that.Everyone is against something.Do we mention that in all articles.Also,how the ... did kelkar conclude the paper indulges in "terrorist "(something used with utmost care) propaganda above.
Also , more importantly in the 'support' section , the author claims that it is supported by western fringe scholars etc.
1.He fails to mention the support it enjoys amongst dalits/obcs.2.How did he conclude about the support base of the paper,did the author of the article carry out a survey himself or is it hearsay?
That only answers 2 not 1 ,btw is an author of article in wikipedia considered as "wikipedia" since you have gloated that wikipedia is not allowed to conduct research.Also ,the author's claim in the support section which is sourced from "14" is wrongly quoted.Elst doesnt use the word "fringe" , he just says western scholars.So the auhor himself might be reminded of the rules that he is trying to remind me of.This seems more like an exercise at political correctness rather than factual accuracy,because the author uses the article to bash VT but similar claims in the discussion section are discouraged,rather replied in a threatening mode,maybe wiki should make rules for that too.
you still havent answered 1. wiki rules might allow the author/s to quote from the dalit voice itself which the article is about and DV does claim that it has a large support base amongst dalit and obc masses and that its translated into various local languages(obviously without readers you wouldnt translate,would you?).
Reply: LOL.well I would say its playing with words on the part of DV.But still the author can mention what DV claims by stating clearly that its their claim.-Agni/Dinesh.
Also,the word 'fringe' has been used the in the first line of article as well,sourcing it incorrectly,again from the same article by Elst where he didnt seem to use it.
how am i alleging something when its said by DV itself.I am assuming your above reply was regarding the word "fringe".Instead of tweaking the language(like saying I am accusing instead of realising its what DV says), you should rather understand that for DV to be popular amongst dalits/obcs as DV itself claims,the audience dont have to be anti-semitic or anything,as they are not the ones demanding the content,but its other way round.IF A implies B, B doesnt necessarily imply A.Basic logic. - Agni
However, perhaps we should say that:
Dalit Voice and it's chief editor VT Rajshekhar regard their publication as a widely circulated journal in the Dalit community
Thus qualifying that the periodical is widely read only according to them and their supporters.Hkelkar07:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Then we should as well say in the "support" section that Elst et al,regard DV as enjoying support amongst whatever mentioned there,as this is sourced from Elst's work ,following the same paradigm as above. - Agni(I dont know how many people are actually talking here).
Reply : This is more interesting,since you said that wikipedia(which you used to refer to the author of the article) is not allowed to conduct independant research.(1)Either this research is invalid as reference in wikipedia or your reference to the author of the article as "wikipedia"(implying part of wiki) is wrong.Either case I have absolutely no issues as long as the independant research is cited in the article,to cross check.(2)On the lighter side,I would be interested in going through the research and the methodology adopted.(3) What is wereldwijd(is that polish/dutch etc)

Quote from P395:
The phenomenon of anti-Semitism in a vocal though marginal and unrepresentative section of the Dalit movement is attributed somewhat patronizingly to the “mental confusion among India’s poor Dalits
Which it states with reference to Rajshekhar and his views expressed on DV.Hkelkar07:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The current version of this article is extremely one-sided. Negative criticisms of the Dalit Voice are fine, but what about positive views? The editors of the magazine should be allowed to speak for themselves. Also, the information concerning Rashidi and Van Sertima is defaming and at the very least more positive comments should also be listed along side of the negative commentary. Some people are trying very hard to suppress information concerning the ongoing oppression of the Dalit people and this is most unfortunate. A more open and honest discussion would be useful for us all.—Precedingunsigned comment added byBrorbbit (talk •contribs)00:35, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"It has been criticised as a hate site and has been accused of promoting ethnic cleansing and hate-speech."
This line was removed because it contains and UNCITED use of POV using the weaseling tactic "it has been criticised" that is not permitted in Wikipedia. It has been criticised by who? Until NOW, I have not heard of the site being called a hate site. I do not see anything promoting ethinic cleansing. Feel FREE to quote the site's ethnic cleansing comments in this article. Till then... --Zaphnathpaaneah08:07, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
V.T. is really a hateful person. He shows the current caste system (and problems with that system) as an excuse to vilify Brahmins. In addition, he believes by destroying Brahmins he can achieve the social justice and harmony in India.
This statement will just have to come out because this publication is not notable. It isn't in the British Library, which it would be if it had an ISSN. I can't find it in google. And the references to it are too far out of date. So what if a few people writing in some minor publication expressed support for this guy many years ago? Not worth recording in the encyclopedia.Itsmejudith13:04, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have rewritten substantially, taking out all the weasel-wording but keeping in the references that show DV taking positions that many will think of as extreme. How long will these changes survive? Any chance of discussion on this talk page before reversion? I live in hope.Itsmejudith17:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Input is needed on the articleDalit Voice. Users whitewashing theantisemitic website want to remove the catCategory:Antisemitic publications from the article. Specifically, conflict exists between this version[1] and this version[2]. A glance at the talk page shows a propensity of the article to attract fanatics, so extra pairs of eyes would serve the article well.Yitzhak Hudas11:12, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The following comment is taken from bothWikipedia:WikiProject Judaism and the talk page ofUser:Itsmejudith.Egfrank13:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC):[reply]
Judith - any magazine that praises Hitler is almost by definition an anti-semitic publication - I really don't see how it could be otherwise. The minute one crosses the line from ideology to endorsement of subjugation or extermination campaigns and those who promote them(be it the extermination of Jews, Hutus or Darfurians), one has crossed the line from justice to hate.

Hello Egfrank. Thanks very much for your comment on my talk page. Of course I agree that praising Hitler is blatant and outrageous antisemitism. This isn't really at issue on theDalit Voice page. Wikipedia policy is that we should let the facts speak for themselves and use reliable sources; that's all that I am trying to do. Luckily there are a couple of good external sources that have described the views of the magazine and these should continue to form the main framework for the article. What emerges from these and from looking at issues of the magazine is that it has a complex mix of non-mainstream views. Antisemitic themes recur, so do Afrocentric ones, but the most common themes probably relate to Indian politics. That's why I don't think it's appropriate to simply describe it as "antisemitic" in the lead. Please get back to me if I can explain more fully.Itsmejudith13:01, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What follows originates on this page:Egfrank13:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I thinkUser:Yitzhak Hudas is upset about the removal fromCategory:Antisemitic publications. I can understand your concern about placing the "antisemitic" line in the lead paragraph - it doesn't seem like anti-semitism is its focus - its anti a *lot* of things, Jews being only one of them. On the other hand, it seems pretty obvious that it belongs inCategory:Antisemitic publications and possibly a few other anti-categories, assuming they exist. What is your reason for excluding it fromCategory:Antisemitic publications?Egfrank13:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't disagree with you that categorization can become a form of POV, but in this case the claim to antisemitism is sourced and so far, at least, we don't have any sources disputing the claim. So it seems we have an uncontested "fact". Perhaps you might consider reintroducingCategory:Antisemitic publications. As for the other categories, if they don't have sources, the categorization should probably wait until the sources exist. As for your philosophical discomfort with such categories, you might want to considerWP:CFD (Categories for discussion). Best,Egfrank 17:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)P.S. I'm impressed with your hard work finding sources.Egfrank17:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is evidence of holocaust denial in the magazine. Look at 25(1) for example. Unfortunately, I can't find the volume and issue of the linked article that's the source for the support of Ahmadinejad's position. I'd like to stress again that I have no problem with including material that illustrates antisemitic positions taken by the magazine. However, I am still - like other editors who have posted on this talk page before - concerned about the overall balance of the article. It is by no means an easy task to summarise the positions taken by this magazine. I have found an article, for example, alleging that M.K. Gandhi was "a nazi". That this contradicts other articles that attempt to exonerate nazism of all charges does not seem to bother the magazine's editors. However, it does mean that we either remove some of the existing viewpoints attributed to the magazine, however well sourced, or we keep trawling through it in order to add more about specifically Indian politics. For example, I found a long article alleging that a major higher education institution had a "Brahmin monopoly". If we are going to reflect the magazine's views accurately then much more weight must be given to that kind of material.Itsmejudith17:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the discussion on this page is a year or more old. I propose they be archived. --ManasShaikh (talk)18:11, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
a lot of what he says makes sense,how to call this magazine anti semitic when he says that brahminists were the original supporters of hitler,therefore the original anti semites,he is imitating brahminists,now brahminists have started loving jews for their own interests so he hates them,he hates what the enemy loves and loves what enemy hates,also he cannot be called anti hindu as he feels hinduism does not exist,its a caste based religion created to protect superstitions and idol worship according to him,he is truly a genius writer,he is not against Jews but hates them as Brahminists have started loving them for their own interests.117.204.141.0 (talk)07:57, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As of November 2011, the www.dalitvoice.org website disappeared, apparently because the founder and publisher did not renew his domain subscription. Seehttp://dalitnation.wordpress.com/. The Internet Archive has archived the Dalit Voice website and all issues are still available there. Their most recent capture was in July 2011 and they seem to have captured all issues from volume 23 (2004) to volume 30 (2011).http://web.archive.org/web/20110725215446/http://dalitvoice.org/archives.htm I suggest linking to archived versions of the articles in your references, and perhaps to including information about the current status of the publication.
