What's written: (In History-> Ram Janmabhoomi movement-> last paragraph) : Following the 2019 Supreme Court verdict, the Government of India announced a trust to construct the Mandir. On 22 January 2024, the Ram Mandir was officially opened.[63] Prime Minister Narendra Modi led its consecration, claiming it to be the start of a new era.[63] The temple is expected to be fully completed by December 2024.[89]

Changes: The line at the end "The temple is expected to be fully completed by December 2024.[89]" is totally wrong. The temple has already been built and is working. cc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_Mandir

Please remove the line. Coder searcher (talk) 12:07, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Partly done: The temple is not yet fully complete. I've updated the estimated finish time to September 2025 per this source. Aydoh8[contribs] 13:40, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Neofascism

[edit]

I'm just surprised the word neofascism doesn't appear anywhere in the article. 1101 (talk) 03:07, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We generally use terminology proportionately to how our body of reliable sources do. Remsense ‥  03:15, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Precisely. We cannot refer to the BJP as neofascist unless high-quality sources are shown to commonly be doing the same, and I see no evidence of this at the moment. Vanamonde93 (talk) 03:59, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I had found it while browsing "World Fascism: A Historical Encyclopedia [2 Volumes]". I've also been hearing about it for a while and its links to the neofascist RSS are quite clear. I'm not necessarily saying we should explicitly label the party itself as fascist, but when referenced sources in the article include "The Routledge Companion to Fascism and the Far Right" and "Sliding from majoritarianism toward fascism: Educating India under the Modi regime", we might want to at least acknowledge the accusation that the BJP is "sliding toward fascism" somewhere in the body of the article. 1101 (talk) 04:59, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We should at least do more to acknowledge the well-documented phenomenon of them being called fascist, proto-fascist, neo-fascist, having "fascist tendencies", etc. [1] 1101 (talk) 05:02, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We need to use descriptions from reliable sources, not the party's political opponents. Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:30, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reliable sources widely report that they are called fascist by their political opponents. Should that be under some criticism section? Termed Modi govt ‘neo-fascist’ with conviction, Prakash Karat explains why Modi government is ‘neo-fascist,’ slams Congress for playing ‘cheap politics’ RSS, BJP are indeed fascists, says CPI leader Binoy Viswam Modi govt neither fascist nor neo-fascist: CPM in note,
It seems like it consistently makes headlines that they're called neofascist by their opponents, or at least, in that last case, accused of having neofascist characteristics. World Fascism: A Historical Encyclopedia is also a good source, not a political opponent. I'll have to find it at the library again to see what wording it used. 1101 (talk) 19:05, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, should well-sourced criticism be under some criticism section? As I pointed out earlier, the sources already being used in the article use the term fascism, but not the article itself. I'm not saying the article should outright call the BJP fascist, but rather state that it's accused of protofascist or neofascist tendencies by some. 1101 (talk) 19:08, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
