Request to replace image in the Yadav article
I would like to request editors to reconsider the use of the image "Aheers, Hindoo, Soodra Class, Delhi" in the lead section of the Yadav article. The photograph is a colonial-era ethnographic image from The People of India (1868) and reflects the classifications and terminology used by British administrators of that period. While the image may have historical value, its prominent placement in the article can give undue weight to a single colonial representation of the community. Since the YADUVANSHI KSHTRIYA ( Yadav )community has a long and diverse historical, cultural, and social presence across different regions of India, a more representative image—such as one related to the community's contemporary identity, notable historical figures, cultural traditions, or broadly recognized heritage—may better serve readers. I am not questioning the authenticity of the image or its historical source. Rather, I suggest that editors consider whether another image would be more appropriate for the lead section in accordance with Wikipedia's policies on due weight and neutral presentation. Thank you for your consideration. ~2026-32206-88 (talk) 17:38, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
