::::It is being blown out of proportion by those who are not reliable sources on this subject. An allegation on a CEO on this 100s years old subject violates both [[WP:BLP]] and [[WP:UNDUE]]. See [[WP:NOTNEWS]] - raunchy news reports are unfit for an article where only [[WP:HISTRS]] work. Scholarly sources only say that "Madrassi" is a largely outdated demonym. Unless they state it otherwise there is no need to engage in revisionism. [[User:Georgethedragonslayer|Georgethedragonslayer]] ([[User talk:Georgethedragonslayer|talk]]) 10:20, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' presenting this word as "slur". The NDTV.com article and the few other sources mention do make it clear that some people consider this a slur and several are suitable sources, but other articles make it clear that its use by many does not offend or intend to offend. Citations that do not make it clear when this became a slur and in what way for such a contentious subject are not enough. I am of the impression that who uses it, who it refers to and how it is used is the deciding factor. Until some sort of more scholarly source explain when, where and how it is a slur we should not present it as such on Wikipedia. I am sure those who feel they have been slighted by this word or those who have sympathy for them feel this is some sort of injustice, but we are not to use Wikipedia to [[WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS]]. Also keep it in mind that it is not fair to those who do not use it as a slur to retroactively claim they were/are racists. Get those sociologist off their butts and write something about the prejudice behind this word's use and we can document it on Wikipedia. Keep in mind the citations do not have to be in English.
