 | Warning: active arbitration remedies The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:
Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator.

Q1: Why does this article describe OpIndia negatively?
A1: Wikipedia’s aim is not to ensure articles are neither overtly positive or negative, but to ensure articles are written based on what reliable sources say; the neutral point of view policy defines neutrality as representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic. This means that if many reliable sources have a negative opinion of a subject, the article will most likely be negative. Since most reliable sources describe OpIndia negatively, this article also describes OpIndia negatively. Q2: Why does this article say that OpIndia is right-wing?
A2: Most independent reliable sources describe OpIndia as a right-wing publication. Please see these references for details. Q3: Why can't I cite OpIndia as a source on Wikipedia?
A3: Due to persistent abuse, OpIndia is on the Wikipedia spam blacklist. Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 288 § OpIndia and Swarajya for details. |

It would seem that OpIndia has been described by several reliable sources as far-right, as opposed to merely right-wing. Examples: "the far-right news website OpIndia..."[1] "Bellingcat identified two such far-right outlets–OpIndia and Hindu Existence."[2] "OpIndia’s current avatar is similar to what a 2010 New Yorker profile of Andrew Breitbart, the founder of the far-right..."[3] "a case study of far-right media OpIndia."[4] "How Far-Right Hindu Supremacy Went Global"[5], (the site explicitly mentions OpIndia.) "The far-right news website has faced..."[6][7]
And there further examples. Therefore, I request that the article be edited, with appropriate inline citations added in both places, in the following ways:
#1: "OpIndia is an Indian right-wing news website known for frequently publishing misinformation." → "OpIndia is an Indian far-right news website known for frequently publishing misinformation."
#2:

- Please note that my IP Address changes frequently. In my opinion, the evidence I presented is sufficient enough for an edit, and there is more evidence out there. I kindly ask, what do you mean by your reply? Can such a consensus be achieved here and what is the threshold for it? 2402:8100:24CB:B6DC:706B:CAA8:977:8E81 (talk) 03:52, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- As I said earlier, there is sufficient evidence to perform an edit. I have presented a multitude of references describing OpIndia as far-right. Please note, my IP Address keeps changing, and this is hopefully the last comment I will be putting on this page, and I hope my request is assessed fairly, taking what I have presented into consideration. 2402:8100:24CB:B6DC:706B:CAA8:977:8E81 (talk) 03:55, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

How OpIndia makes money
editBellingcat recently did an investigation on OpIndia and other sites like them where they found that OpIndia might be using foreign money which could be a violation of FDI norms and quiet possibly FCRA license regime in India. But I'm not sure I would prefer if we can build consensus and then make sure this new information also reflects in the article.
