Please mention clearly India is worlds 7th largest country by area, most populous country in the world since 2023 and most populous democracy in the world. Please write like this way and use world every time instead of using one time confusing that sometimes it's only populous democracy.

In the India page there's a section for demographics and in it there's a subsection for language. In the Language section there's a picture of the Indian currency specifically the 1000 rupee inr note. I would like to point out that the 1000 rupee note has been discontinued by the Indian government in 2016 and would like the photo of the note to be changed to the new 500 rupee note for present day accuracy.

@Vanamonde93: Following the logic of my own previous edit where I removed repetition of images of Modi and Murmu, I have removed one of two Nehru images and instead replaced it with Indira's, and removed Indira's other image so that each PMs appear once in the images of the article (and, in the process, replaced another gallery with standalone images). Making a post here, please revert if you disagree with the edit. UnpetitproleX (talk) 19:44, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

We now have one image each of PMs Nehru, Indira, Manmohan and Modi, the four who have served for the longest periods of time, in the politics section. UnpetitproleX (talk) 19:51, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

I'm okay with this. I do think it's a little odd to prominently feature Indira Gandhi instead of Nehru, but I agree we should not feature the same people twice, for space. I also think if the number of images remains a concern the one of Singh and Sarkozy could go - unlike the others it isn't highlighting a person (via a portrait) or an important historical phenomenon (like the NAM). Vanamonde93 (talk) 20:04, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

I agree about the Singh image, but I do think a different Manmohan image, the one with Obama, could be a replacement since it better illustrates Manmohan. The only reason I put Indira there was because NAM felt significant and so I didn't want to remove Nehru's NAM image. UnpetitproleX (talk) 20:25, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Also, I should add, I do not like the portraits (neither Indira's nor Modi's) being how they are illustrated in the article. I would prefer instead images that demonstrate them in action, i.e. at an election rally, addressing the parliament, inaugurating a project/scheme, or something like that. I think a portrait places too much emphasis on the individual rather than on their tenure. UnpetitproleX (talk) 20:52, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Leaving these here:

• 
  Indira Gandhi greets Mujibur Rahman in New Delhi in the aftermath of the Bangladesh Liberation War, 1972
• 
  Indira Gandhi visiting the Smiling Buddha nuclear test site, 1974
• 
  Ramnath Kovind administers the oath to Narendra Modi for his second swearing-in as prime minister, 2019

for possible replacement of the portraits. UnpetitproleX (talk) 01:28, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

I would like to add something, I'm a professor at Stanford University, I would really like to add something. I would like to add that Gandhi got married at 14 he got assassinated Thirty-nine-year-old Nathuram Godse shot the great Indian leader as he made his way through a small crowd to lead a prayer session.
