The RSS on Wikipedia

It disappoints me everytime see the articles on the Rashtriya Swayamsevi Sangh (RSS), its cadres, and political parties which share their ideology with RSS, on Wikipedia. The bias is evident.

Quoting from the article on BJP :
"The BJP has often been accused of participation in religious violence and using religiously sensitive issues for political advantage. These accusations, largely a political smear campaign by opposition parties, have tarnished the image of BJP in the eyes of many Indians, particularly Muslims."

The article on Gujrat riots on page on Narendra Modi almost gives him a clean chit. Rajnath Singh is praised no end.

A five-hunderd line article on the RSS has thirty-odd lines on its criticism. The rest of the article is as biased as any of the above.

The previous article for Rajnath Singh was actually copied from his biography released by the BJP! I got it deleted long time back, but the new article is not much better.

Considering that searching name of _any_ politician invariably yields his/her Wikipedia entry as the first one, its a sad state of affairs. Imagine an impressionable mind searching details of Gujarat riots on the web!

Just another instance of a vocal, vociferous minority imposing its views, posing as representatives of the majority. Or in this case, as unbiased writers. This is a major problem for an 'encyclopedia' like Wikipedia.

Its hard for any one person to change it. So are people reading this interested in removing the bias? Its not hard, just time consuming. But satisfying. And important.

For a start, read the articles on Modi and the BJP.
