1. Why isBhārat Gaṇarājya not rendered inDevanagari script? 2. Why was my content removed? TheIndia page adheres tosummary style, sticking to core topics andskipping excess details. To update economy figures or other content,citecredible sources. SeeWP:V. 3. Why aren't there sections on science and technology, education, media, tourism etc.? New sections require talk-page consensus. In archived discussions, it was decided to keep them out. Consider expanding their respective daughter articles, such asHistory of India, instead. SeeWP:WPC. 4. Why was my image or external link removed? 5. The map is wrong! The map shows the official (de jure) borders in undisputed territory and thede facto borders and all related claims where there's a dispute; it cannot exclusively present the official views of India, Pakistan, or China. SeeWP:NPOV. 6. India is a superpower! Consult the archives of this talk page for discussions of India's status as a superpower before adding any content that makes the suggestion. SeeWP:DUE. 7. Delhi is a state! To create an Indian state, theParliament of India must pass a law to that effect—see Articles 2 through 4 of theConstitution of India, full texthere. TheSixty-ninth Amendment, which was enacted in 1991, added Article 239AA to the constitution. It proclaimed the National Capital Territory of Delhi, gave it a legislative assembly, and accorded it special powers that most union territories lack. But Delhi was not made a state. Several crucial powers were retained by the central government, such asresponsibility for law and order. Delhi also does not have a governor; instead, a lieutenant governor presides. UnlikeHimachal Pradesh, which gained statehood in 1970, andGoa, which gained it in 1987, Delhi continues to be listed as a union territory by theFirst Schedule. 8. Add Hindi as the national language/hockey as the national sport! Hindi is theofficial language, notnational language. There is no national language, but there are constitutionally recognized languages, commonly known asSchedule 8 languages. English also serves as a subsidiary official language until the universal use of Hindi is approved by the states and parliament.

Instead of writing the most populous country and democracy separately, it would be better to write it as the most populous country and democracy. The latter is more precise.2409:40E0:41:870C:8000:0:0:0 (talk)22:06, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, a wonderful article! Regarding the lead, I did wonder if there may be a better word than "tolerance" in the last sentence, "India's wildlife, which has traditionally been viewed with tolerance in its culture, is supported in protected habitats." Tolerance has that connotation of stiff liberal politeness, like you're just putting up with something you're prone to dislike, which is not exactly the case in India, where animals are woven in very tightly and seriously with traditional myths and religious understanding, and are in some cases actively worshipped and taken care of as an avatar/symbol/friend of a deity. This is of course not to say that they're uniformly beloved everywhere and there is zero viciousness towards wildlife, but it's still somewhere above tolerance I feel. Maybe: "respect," "reverence," "affection," "importance."108.12.250.219 (talk)03:02, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
