I feel that Gandhi's racist and sexist views aren't represented enough. 97.120.9.89 (talk) 23:22, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So find relevant WP:Reliable sources that discuss them, and add proportionate, cited text based on them to the article. Be sure that you are not interpreting the routine societal attitudes of his historical milieu in the anachronistic light of modern attitudes in yours, which would be valueless. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 51.194.245.32 (talk) 14:31, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

...Communities across India announced plans to gather in greater numbers to protest. Government warned him to not enter Delhi. Gandhi defied the order. On 9 April, Gandhi was arrested.
People rioted. On 13 April 1919, people including women with children gathered in an Amritsar park, and British Indian Army officer Reginald Dyer surrounded them and ordered troops under his command to fire on them. The resulting Jallianwala Bagh massacre (or Amritsar massacre) of hundreds of Sikh and Hindu civilians enraged the subcontinent, but was supported by some Britons and parts of the British media as a necessary response. Gandhi in Ahmedabad, on the day after the massacre in Amritsar, did not criticise the British and instead criticised his fellow countrymen for not exclusively using 'love' to deal with the 'hate' of the British government. Gandhi demanded that the Indian people stop all violence, stop all property destruction, and went on fast-to-death to pressure Indians to stop their rioting...

In my opinion, the beginning of the second paragraph implies that people rioted at Jallianwala Bagh, especially when complemented by Gandhi's response towards the end of the second paragraph, which criticizes people for supposedly using violence. However, people had gathered at Jallianwala Bagh to peacefully assemble for a celebration in defiance of an order by Dyer that demanded people stay inside lest they be shot by British soldiers. I mean, this is a peaceful defiance. Even when the many thousands of people had gathered in spite of Dyer's orders, they remained peaceful, and then the British troops surrounded and massacred the crowd at his orders regardless.
What exactly was Gandhi criticising here? Just a nagging thought. Spasht (talk) 16:32, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: The "General and cited references" section holds works that were consulted during the creation of the article but are not linked to any specific piece of text. Did you or another editor consult this source when contributing to the article? Additionally, as noted in WP:GENREF, general references lose text-source integrity, so it is best to cite the work directly inline. Liu1126 (talk) 11:39, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
