Overall: I did a copy-edit on the article and put some information directly quoted in the sources in speech marks. In the DYK, I suggest wikifying "its founder" to Keshav Shankar Pillai and putting "fundamentally anti-establishment" in speech marks, as it is a direct quotation. The suggested fixes are in the ALT below. Z1720 (talk) 21:21, 14 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
