I was going to list this on VFD, but a google search does turn up some stuff. However, it's mostly about him getting arrested. --InShaneee 16:37, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Can someone who's more familiar with Dr. Togadia and his work:
- Add more general biographical details (e.g. birth year, hometown, career path)
- Distinguish between general VHP positions and Togadia's own statements and stances, preferably including direct quotes and citations where appropriate.

NPOV
This reads like a VHP manifesto, and violates WP:NPOV quite comprehenisvely. Someone needs to fix it. It wont be me. Hornplease 00:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm working on it.Right now I'm busy cleaning up WP:BLP violations and keeping the anti-Hindu vandals at bay.I will put up criticism sections etc. soon.Hkelkar 00:35, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Better VHP manifesto than Pseudo-secularist literature. I'll organize into paragraphs.Bakaman Bakatalk 23:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- No, that isnt better. Neither is acceptable.Hornplease 23:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well instead of calling it names, why not give actual parts of the article you have a problem with.Bakaman Bakatalk 23:37, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- I merely slapped a tag on precisely because I dont want to get into another shouting match. There's been enough incivility directed at me recently. Kelkar is working on it, he wants a few days, and I said I will not interfere till then. Hornplease 00:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well instead of calling it names, why not give actual parts of the article you have a problem with.Bakaman Bakatalk 23:37, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- This article has not changed in tone since I last checked, above. Am putting a tag on. Hornplease 22:53, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Photo REquest
Hey all, i really dont understand why the tag for foto reuest has been removed by some Ancientanubis. Firstly the article needs to adjust the tone and like any other biographical article this also needs photo, so that people know who has been decribed here. Normaly copyright free fotos are not available so i had put the request for it, so that if anyone has it he may add it. So please dont spoil the WP spirit.

BLP source tag removed
It is fair enough to remove BLP sources tag as multiple source of reference is available. Removed tag from page. --atnair (talk) 15:40, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
fanpov removal suggest
If Legal cases, first paragraph is edited, can remove fanpov tag.--atnair (talk) 17:23, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Removed fanpov tag after deleting first paragraph of Legal cases which lacked proper citations.

Protection
Note that I've just fully protected the article in response to the edit warring today. Please seek consensus for controversial changes here on the talk page, and keep our WP:NPOV and WP:BLP guidelines in mind. Also, you may want to consider WP:Dr. Mark Arsten (talk) 02:40, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
BLP tag
Still BLP tag is placed though citation from reliable sources. ! --atnair (talk) 15:59, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Non notable controversy
"a group of doctors and social activists spearheaded by the Pune-based "Medico Friend Circle" ..." Group is highly non-notable with a few social networking or 2nd hand website sources. I have removed it because it was added hardly a day ago and it is not notable. There are many petitions or complaints around the world. But they don't matter as long as the filer is not notable or some serious action was taken. It is same as someone filing a petition about Togadia to some online based or even offline institute then become popular. Bladesmulti (talk) 03:42, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, it is not true that it was just a day ago. There was a single sentence reference to it earlier. I hunted for a better source and expanded the information. Your grounds for repeated deletion of the material are weak. They need to be debated. Repeating the deletion without reaching consensus is a hostile act, and constitutes the beginning of an edit war. Kautilya3 (talk) 08:54, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Since you are concerned about notability, I have added an endorsement by a national journal. So, it should be fine as it currently stands. Kautilya3 (talk) 20:24, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Every time whenever there is objection, version is reverted to pre-edit conflict. There is no notability or importance behind this petition. No a matter that who read it, it is not even a issue. It is more about who filed it and how much it was investigated. Investigation never took place so you are directly promoting this non-notable group. Bladesmulti (talk) 03:31, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- That is why we call it a "controversy". No conclusion was ever reached. Whether the group is notable is not the issue. The petition was notable. It was reported in national newspapers and endorsed by a national journal. All that we require of the group is that it be credible, which it certainly is. It is made up of medical professionals, some of them working in leading hospitals like Jaslok and some on the editorial board of the journal cited. I am inviting @Vanamonde93: to give us a third opinion. Kautilya3 (talk) 08:10, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Petition is a lower form allegation which shouldn't be added until he has been convicted. If he hadn't been investigated it makes even more senseless to have such petition. I am calling User:AmritasyaPutra "to give us a third opinion". Bladesmulti (talk) 08:29, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- I have never edited this page before but I have edited in Indian politics area. Vanamode93 has edited this page several times (in fact put this material back in article before talk page discussion). 3O is usually from un-involved editors. The content is not worthy of inclusion in my opinion. This page falls under WP:BLP. See this revert -- having a reference to a news article is not the qualifying criteria. Hi Kautilya3, Togadia was appointed as the General Secretary of the VHP nation-wide. was better-worded than replacement of Togadia was groomed for the leadership of national VHP.. Per WP:BRD after the bold edit is reverted the contributor should discuss on talk page. Here the disputed content has been re-inserted twice before any discussion and remains in the article. --AmritasyaPutra✍ 08:49, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- @AmritasyaPutra: Welcome to the discussion. To give a third opinion, you need to give justification for your view, which I don't see in your comment above. The link you have provided is to a Narendra Modi discussion. How is that relevant? Finally, if you want to raise other issues, please open a new section. Kautilya3 (talk) 09:16, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- @AmritasyaPutra: You have edited your comment after my response, which is confusing. Now you say "having a reference to a news article is not the qualifying criteria". What then is the "qualifying criterion"? You also didn't address the fact that there was an endorsement by national medical journal. (I have now discovered that there is a formal third opinion process at WP:3. So I will be requesting it.) WP:BRD is fine. But after Vanamonde93 reverted the deletion, Bladesmulti repeated his deletion. I was afraid that would lead to an edit war. There is no need for these repeated reverts while a discussion is going on. Kautilya3 (talk) 10:28, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- That statement of mine which you quote was not after your edit, it was written 30 min before your response. While a discussion is going on the new content should not be re-inserted. It was re-inserted
twicethrice (and remains there) before any discussion had started. --AmritasyaPutra✍ 10:41, 4 September 2014 (UTC)- Not my doing. I reinserted it only once, after the discussion started, and after addressing the notability issue that was originally raised. New objections are being raised now. That is a different matter. Kautilya3 (talk) 10:54, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:NOTGOSSIP. Adding a report which has no rationale or any sort of reflection to his career is purely violation of BLP. Bladesmulti (talk) 10:17, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Bladesmulti: National newspapers and national journals are not "gossip". So I don't see the point of this reference. If this is supposed to be a "violation of BLP," please state what criteria of BLP are violated. Kautilya3 (talk) 10:32, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

- I read the references and the content that has been added, here is a very detailed and specific response: "The petition was endorsed by the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics in its Editorial." is simply not present in the provided reference. For "according to an analysis in the press" see WP:GRAPEVINE. From WP:PUBLICFIGURE "If you cannot find multiple reliable third-party sources documenting the allegation or incident, leave it out." Thisis the third re-insertion before the discussion started. --AmritasyaPutra✍ 10:58, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
I have now made a formal request for a third opinion WP:Third_opinion#Active_disagreements. Kautilya3 (talk) 11:14, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- It is a BLP violation to add anything that has been unproven and it is nothing more than a non-notable allegation. Your request on 3O will be probably erased because this content dispute or discussion involves more than 2 users. Bladesmulti (talk) 11:20, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
3O Response: As there are now three editors actively involved in the discussion, this is no longer a candidate for WP:3O. If further discussion cannot resolve it, I recommend WP:DRN. -- Stfg (talk) 12:16, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, thank you, Stfg.
Filed a Dispute Resolution request at WP:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard. @Bladesmulti:, @AmritasyaPutra:, @Vanamonde93:, please summarize your views there. Kautilya3 (talk) 13:06, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- I had mentioned this in BLP Noticeboard with my last edit before the 3O request was made because added disputed content remained in the article while the discussion was on. --AmritasyaPutra✍ 13:33, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for notifying, I have closed the DRN section. Bladesmulti (talk) 14:18, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Deleted content from Dionne Bunsha
@Lindashiers: You have removed content sourced from Dionne Bunsha's book, saying "much better independent sources are needed." Can you please take look at the wiki page of the book Scarred:_Experiments_with_Violence_in_Gujarat and the author Dionne Bunsha, and explain what kind of better sources you are requiring? Kautilya3 (talk) 17:11, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- Please understand that BIASED sources have to be used appropriately at Wikipedia. This is not to say that they cannot be used, just that they should be used "properly". Lindashiers (talk) 17:42, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Lindashiers: I don't see what basis you have to claim that this is a biased source. The writer is an award-winning journalist of national newspapers. Kautilya3 (talk) 18:04, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- Who received large sums of money and fellowships from overseas sources .. to write such books ??? Please see Primary, Secondary and Tertiary sources (and how to use them at Wikipedia). In other words, why don't you locate other independent news reports in national newspapers which corroborate Ms. Bunsha's book and CITE them ? Lindashiers (talk) 18:22, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
@Vanamonde93. Please add more reliable sources for such claims before reverting me again. Thanks. Lindashiers (talk) 15:52, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- What nonsense is this? Her book is a secondary source, which references other material, and as such fits all the RS criteria. Take it to RSN if you disagree. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:00, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- I've reverted Lindashiers per WP:BRD. I've no particular comment on the source except to say that it seems likely to be de facto reliable. I'm not sure that the overseas funding issue is relevant or even necessarily correct (unless one is a Hindu nationalist, of course) but I'm open to having someone explain that relevance to me. Alternatively, it could be explained at WP:RSN, as Vanamonde has suggested. What we don't need here right now is more displays of aggressive behaviour: alarm bells are ringing. - Sitush (talk) 20:15, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- I have no objection to the current version. Given that the author has some notability and writings might have some prevalence. Bladesmulti (talk) 04:57, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Sitush are you seriously suggesting that those 2 extremist sources I deleted are credible ? Are you also saying that Praveen Togadia is Mother Theresa that we should use wishy-washy sources like Dionne Bunsha ? You've got the wrong end of the stick here. Lindashiers (talk) 18:42, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'm saying that you need to stop being disruptive and just stick to discussing. When you get consensus for your changes then they can be implemented. Right now, looking at what has been said by others above, you do not have consensus. What you are doing here is exactly the same as you are doing in other articles: you are going round like a bull in a china shop and, human nature being what it is, you are pretty rapidly pissing off a lot of people. WP:AGF is not a suicide pact. - Sitush (talk) 19:37, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Personal life
"He moved to Ahmedabad at age 10 and joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) soon after. He received a bachelor's degree (MBBS) in medicine followed by a master's degree (MS) in surgical oncology. He practised as a surgeon for fourteen years, and established a small hospital, Dhanvantri Hospital, in Ahmedabad.[2][3]"
- he joined the RSS at age 11 ?
- he is a super-qualified medical doctor ?
and these [1], [2] are your sources for such exceptional claims? As a BLP article, this dubious text can be deleted by any editor on sight, without wasting time at any RS/N, until reliable sources are provided, especially since the so-called complaint to the Medical Council of India, did not contain his enrolment number / licence to practice medicine / State of registration, which is mandatory in MCI's prescribed complaint form under their establishing enactment. Lindashiers (talk) 02:00, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- Self-published sources can be regarded as reliable sources about themselves as per WP:SELFSOURCE. That is how [1] is used. The source [2] corroborates the information. If you have some other source that contradicts this information, please present it. Kautilya3 (talk) 07:33, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- Self-published sources are okay for non-contentious material about the subject; the instant it becomes contentious, SPS are not okay. Vanamonde93 (talk) 20:39, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Leuva Patel
@Sitush: You have deleted the reference to the Leuva Patel affiliation of Togadia. But, unfortunately, the affiliation is politically significant. See the articles in [3], especially the last one where Togadia is explicitly flagged. Kautilya3 (talk) 12:33, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Sitush: Bump. I feel that the caste has to be mentioned when it is sigificant to the career of the person and it has been mentioned by reliable sources. This makes a difference not only here, but in several BLP pages of Indian persons. Kautilya3 (talk) 09:43, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Opposition to Islam
@Adamgerber80: In this source it is clearly mentioned in Pravin Togadia's own words that he was opposed to Muslim families building homes and taking residence in Hindu neighborhoods. Since there is no Category:Opposition to Islam in India than it is logical that Category:Opposition to Islam in Asia is the most appropriate category. The subject of the article (Togadia) has both identified with said belief (opposition to Islam) and this had a relevance on the subject's life (he was taken to court for hate speech). This is not a BLP violation. Inter&anthro (talk) 03:22, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Inter&anthro Please read the source carefully. There have been complaints against him but he was not convicted in any of these cases under Indian law. Moreover the Indian government instituted an inquiry and the result of those reports is pending. What you are doing is a violation of WP:BLP where you are attributing a set of actions to someone before the due judicial process has been completed. Adamgerber80 (talk) 03:48, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Adamgerber80: don't accuse me of anything I didn't do. This is not something Togadia was accused of. He has already made his opposition to Islam known. What he was accused of was that his comments were hate speech. But I didn't add anything to the article saying he has been convicted of hate speech, I said he was opposed to Islam (which is from the subjects own words). Inter&anthro (talk) 03:54, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Inter&anthro I am not accusing you on anything but stating what your actions mean. Please read the source you provide and the article carefully. Togadia himself denies making these very comments and the matter went to a court. Then how can you say for sure that these are subjects words when the matter itself has to be decided by the court. You are adding a category here based on some assumptions and some accusations against somebody which have not yet been proven. Adamgerber80 (talk) 04:03, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Adamgerber80 Togadia does not deny that he made these comments, what he denis and is the issue in court is do his comments represent hate speach. Thus something like Category:People convicted of hate crimes would be inapropriate, but the said category in this discussion is not as it is Togadia's self-professed views. His views are quite public see here. Inter&anthro (talk) 04:09, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Inter&anthro First, do you understand Hindi or Gujarati to fully comprehend the video or are you relying on sparse subtitles in that video to quote Pravin Togadia. Second, the anchor herself claims that these are allegations and Pravin Togadia makes no such claim as you have mentioned. Third, let's stick to WP:RS since we very well know that videos like these are not acceptable on Wikipedia especially on WP:BLP articles. Please read the source here [4] and the article carefully. Adamgerber80 (talk) 04:21, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Adamgerber80 Togadia clearly made such comments (see here), so my position stands. I might add that I am not fluent in and Indian language or am Indian and have no "opinion" wheter Togadia is opposed to Islam or not, but since the majority of the sources I see show this I think it should be reflected in the article. Thanks Inter&anthro (talk) 04:29, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Inter&anthro, I am reiterating this again. The media report and the speech it mentions is exactly what he has denied in the source that I have mentioned. The NBC media report is based on a NDTV media report which itself calls the comments alleged. The NBC report even goes on to say there are various translations of his comments. The comments are assumed to be alleged until they have been decided by the court. There are a lot of accusations here and until this reaches it's logical conclusion we cannot label someone under some category based on our perceptions of things. This is not me speaking but this is per WP:BLP. Adamgerber80 (talk) 04:50, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Adamgerber80 fair enough, although I think it is quite clear that Togadia DID make those statements in question and has denied it to save face. If he is convicted though I will re-add the category. My apologies if any of my comments gave the appearance of being nonconstructive, thanks Inter&anthro (talk) 04:43, 14 January

- Inter&anthro I think you are letting your personal biases or opinions come in the way of your editing. We have to very careful editing BLP articles and have to look at them objectively. It is for this very purpose that there is a warning on this category and that it should be placed with care on some articles. I would recommend you to edit with care on such articles. Happy editing.

Additions of promotional material
Aashil21190, you have been reverted multiple times. Per WP:BRD, you should now discuss the content you wish to add here on the talk page, and establish consensus for its inclusion. There are many problems with the stuff you are trying to add; it violates our policies about maintaining a neutral point of view and promotianalism, and it frequently also is not supported by the sources you use, thus failing verification.

- Vanamonde93, I have been attaching reference link from newspapers like "The Hindu" and "Economic Times". How is that a promotion? Certain activities of Dr. Togadia have not been highlighted in his Wikipedia page and so I added those WITH proper reference. It is not justifiable for you to remove those items.
- The content you added is frequently inappropriate in tone, and also is not supported by the sources you used. Please list the points you wish to add along with the sources supporting them, and let's see if we can come to an agreement. Vanamonde (Talk) 05:03, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
- Vanamonde93, let's go one by one.
Statement: "Dr. Togadia has established India Healthline to support poor and needy patients, a free of cost private medical consultation" Reference: https://www.telegraphindia.com/states/north-east/togadia-launches-helpline-for-poor-patients/cid/1435261
How is this promotional? It is shocking that you deleted this. Also, we have posted noble health activity with reference to well-known Indian newspaper articles. You have deleted this post despite references. By what authority you have deleted that portion?
- Because it is still promotional; it's written like an advertisement. Specifically, we shouldn't be stating Togadia's aims in Wikipedia's voice; it should at the very least say something like "a helpline which, according to Togadia, aims to provide free medical consultation to the poor."

- Vanamonde93, I saw that you had included the changes in the personal section but I feel it should be in activism and his work, definitely not in personal life section.
- Well, I think it's more related to his work as a doctor, but move it, if you'd like; just don't replace the problematic language I removed. Also, please sign your posts on the talk page. Vanamonde (Talk) 03:29, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
Ok, I am making the changes as per the agreement above. Aashil (Talk) 07:59, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
- There is no objection to moving per se, but it is a bit of trivia, that lacks any interest. There is no information about how big this organisation is, how many branches, how many people it helped etc. You can't get all that from one news report about a launch. You need to research into it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:27, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
Person who is editing bjp ,Narendra Modi and Uma Bharati Wikipedia profile is deleting very noble health activity of Dr Pravin Togadia .
He is politically behaving to conceal fact Hindu Ahead (talk) 20:37, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- As I have explained to you once already, you need to provide reliable sources to support the content that you add, in order to satisfy our policy on verifiability. Please read both the pages I linked before making any further edits. Vanamonde (Talk) 20:44, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
