Talk:1988 killings in Hyderabad, Sindh

Source 📝

647:@ Vice regent Economic and Political Weekly ref seem to insinuate complicity of some sort but uses word 'killings'. The Tribune ref seem to use word carnage. It seems to be indiscriminate killings so descriptively word 'massacre' may not be entirely wrong. Urdu Knowledge seem to use title September 30 event, but that too is incomplete title and shy to call spade a spade. In RS word Black Friday is used as descriptive and not in the titles. Idk how far coloring of Friday gives justice to Friday and how far to those killed; euphemistic title nor would give idea to readers what the article is all about. 563: 402: 381: 297: 276: 307: 245: 491: 470: 201: 1178:

I'm trying to find if this event is really called "massacre" in RS, but it seems more RS call it as "Black Friday" or simply describe the events without a name. As such, the "massacre" in the title seems POV. Requesting

Sure. I agree we need solid references before we use terms like ‘massacre’, because usually that implies a complicity of some sort. I’d be fine with using ‘killings’ or something similar too.

Those suggestions are acceptable to me. The reason I didn't propose that was that there was no significant killings (AFAIK) in any other Hyderabad in 1988. So, for example, we have

All of the cited sources say 1988. As it happens, I was caught up in the curfew in the city - and 1988 is the only year in which I have ever visited Pakistan.
