Stone pelting in Kashmir: what Wikipedia removed
Stone pelting is a protest tactic used by Kashmiris against Indian security forces. As of October 2023 the opening said the practice was carried out to support the extremists group or terrorists. Today the opening says it is carried out to support the separatist insurgents, though terror survives ten times in the body. A reader arriving now learns the stone throwers are described as supporting separatist insurgents and not that the article’s own opening once called them terrorists.
The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 6 October 2023. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 10. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
