Proposal to update leadership image in 'Politics' section

I am proposing to replace the current image in the "Politics" subsection (which shows a 2018 video conference) with a more recent and comprehensive image from September 2025.

Proposed Image:
Proposed Image:The three highest constitutional heads of India: President Droupadi Murmu (center), Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan (left), and Prime Minister Narendra Modi (right) at the Ganatantra Mandap, Rashtrapati Bhavan, September 2025.

Rationale for the change:

  • Constitutional Representation: The proposed image features all three highest constitutional heads (President, Vice President, and Prime Minister) in one frame. This is much more relevant to a "Government and politics" section than a solo photo.
  • Recency: The existing photo is from 2018. Updating it to a 2025 image ensures the article reflects the current leadership of the Republic of India.
  • Visual Quality: A formal gathering at the Ganatantra Mandap provides better encyclopedic context than a video conference screenshot.

I am starting this thread to establish consensus as suggested by [[]]. I would appreciate feedback from other editors on this improvement. --Ramb70 (talk) 14:38, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello PhantomVortex, I hope you are doing well. As per your guidance, I started a discussion thread on the article's Talk page regarding the replacement of the 2018 leadership image with the 2025 constitutional heads photo.

It has been a few days and no other editors have chimed in yet. Since you originally reviewed the edit request, could you please take a look at the proposal on the Talk page and share your thoughts? Your feedback would help greatly in establishing the next steps. Thank you! --Ramb70 (talk) 08:20, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

The Mughal Empire ushered in two centuries of economic expansion and relative peace,[1] and left a rich architectural legacy.

I request the removal of the sentence 'relative peace' from the article as there was bloodshed and mass conversion against the Hindu faithful and and you cannot quote 1 book to justify that these were peaceful times. Thank you Rishi2205 (talk) 20:52, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

The section on climate about the Thar Desert requires editing (currently, it states that it might be AI-generated).

An editing proposal:

"The expansion of the Thar Desert has an impact on the South Asian summer monsoon hydroclimate. Locally, the desert's expansion weakens the water cycle, leading to less rain, moisture, and evaporation, which also cools the local air. Regionally, this growth changes wind patterns and weakens the monsoon over northeastern India."
