Persecution of Kashmiri Shias
Kashmir's Shia minority endured centuries of organized violence, and the article itself, then titled 'Genocide of the Kashmiri Shias by the Sunni elite,' named who carried it out. Through 2020 the opening described 'the ten campaigns of terror against Shias of Kashmir in the years 1548, 1585, 1636, 1686, 1719, 1741, 1762, 1801, 1831 and 1872 CE, carried out by Sunni clergy and fanatics.' Today the opening calls the same history 'conflict and strife' and 'incidents of sectarian violence,' and the word terror survives twice in the body but names no perpetrator. A reader today learns that sectarian violence occurred and not that it was once described as terror campaigns carried out by Sunni clergy and fanatics.

The opening as it read in October 6, 2023
History of Shi'ism in Kashmir is marked with conflict and strife, spanning over half a millennium. Incidents of sectarian violence occurred in Kashmir under the rule of Mirza Haider Dughlat, followed by the Mughals (1586–1752), the Afghans (1752–1819), the Sikhs (1819–1845) and the Dogras (1846–1947). A small Shia community has managed to survive in Kashmir till today.
