== Freedom from want? == |
|
|
|
|
|
The last sentence of the history section says: |
|
|
|
|
|
"India's sustained democratic freedoms are unique among the world's newer nations; however, in spite of its recent economic successes, freedom from want for its disadvantaged population remains a goal yet to be achieved." |
|
|
|
|
|
I find it difficult to understand what this sentence is trying to say. Is it trying to say that people in India want its disadvantaged population and being free from this 'want' is a goal not achieved. Or, is it trying to say that disadvantaged population of India wants several things in their lives, and making them free of this 'want' is a goal not achieved. |
|
|
|
|
|
The source simply points out that we would not claim that work is complete in regards to poverty eradication, and this poverty limits freedom of a huge number of people in India. |
|
|
|
|
|
I think the source could be probably paraphrased in a better way. Or, is 'Freedom from want' a common technical concept that I am unaware of? ] (]) 15:30, 11 November 2023 (UTC) |

whether you agree with it or not, the claim that a country is a "democracy" is a statement of political ideology, and not a simple fact about which an article lede can claim to report objective statistics. i don't necessarily believe it isn't true, but I don't think it should be listed next to uncontroversial facts. ] (]) 06:09, 15 November 2023 (UTC) |

Change the language of the anthem and national song from Hindi and Sanskrit, respectively, to Bengali (and maybe Sanskrit). |
|
|
|
|
|
, currently used in the article, is apparently controversial, according to news article. There are references online that mention the anthem having been written in Bengali and sometimes also Sanskrit (e.g. , , and ). |

Also, report from the Constituent Assembly debates on January 24, 1950, mentions a Hindi translation of the Constitution, but not a "Hindi version" of the national anthem. Unless a different document mentions it, the reference to a "Hindi version" appears to be inaccurate. |

It's common knowledge in India that the national anthem was written in Bengali, though I don't have a written source for that. |

The confusion might have arisen because, according to ], there are official lyrics in the Devanagari script, which is commonly associated with Hindi (though other languages use it too), but that is a transliteration, not a translation. |

== Reordering sentence in the lead == |
|
Also, ''jaage'', ''maage'', and ''gaahe'' are all recognizably Bengali third-person singular verbs, not Hindi or Sanskrit verbs, while the noun ''naame'' is a Bengali locative, but as far as I know not a valid word in either Hindi or Sanskrit (the locative singular of naaman can be either naamni or naamani in Sanskrit). |

Minor edit suggestion: Currently the lead reads "It is the seventh-largest country in the world by area and the most populous country.". The latter fact seems by far the more notable of the two, so you'd think "It is the most populous country in the world and the seventh-largest by area" would be a more sensible phrasing. ] (]) 17:56, 31 December 2024 (UTC) |

I just want to put this out there hoping somebody might do something about this. There are FAR too many links in this article, especially in the lead. So many, it was totally unreadable for me personally. So much so I actually found a Firefox addon to strip the link styling completely from the page. Most readers wouldn't know to do what I did and, if they have the same issue I do with too much style changing, won't bother reading the utter mess I encountered before I found the extension. |

This article was listed as need a ] about ]. There are still too many images with ]ing and poor layout, the lead is too long, Administrative divisions is an unnecessary list which could be simply summarized from the sub-article, there is still dated information (eg "The 522-million-worker Indian labour force is the world's second-largest, as of 2017" and "According to a 2011 PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) report, India's GDP at purchasing power parity could overtake that of the United States by 2045"), it is easy to spot content that could be in sub-articles rather than here (eg, "Averaging an economic growth rate of 7.5% for several years prior to 2007," from Economy, and almost every section can be trimmed. Some of the footnotes are so long that copyright concerns might be raised. The layout in the government section is a list sandwiched between an image and a table. It doesn't seem that the work that needed to be done three years ago has been undertaken; trimming, tightening, and taming the images, plus bringing the lead down.
