I was checking similar notes and found a statement by ] that "there will be communal riots in Karnataka if the Congress wins the Karnataka elections" or "If BJP Loses Bihar Elections, Crackers Will Go Off in Pakistan".

	:'''2024 image'''
	:* The most recent image provides the most accurate representation of Rahul Gandhi's current appearance. People change over time, and using an outdated image might not reflect his current age, style, or demeanor accurately.
	:* A recent image ensures relevance to the current period and context. If the purpose of the Misplaced Pages page is to provide up-to-date information about Rahul Gandhi, using a recent image aligns with that goal.
	:* Users are more likely to engage with content that feels current and reflects the present reality. A recent image can capture attention and interest more effectively than an older one.
	:* Using a recent image demonstrates transparency and commitment to keeping information current. It shows that the Misplaced Pages page is actively maintained and reflects the latest developments.
	:* While historical context can be important, especially for figures with long careers or significant past events, the primary goal of an infobox is to provide accurate and relevant information about the subject as they are now. Therefore, using a 2024 image would be the most suitable choice for Rahul Gandhi's infobox on Misplaced Pages.
	:* A portrait-style image with a white background often conveys professionalism. It provides a clean and uncluttered backdrop, allowing the focus to remain on the subject, in this case, Rahul Gandhi. Images with a white background are versatile and can be easily incorporated into various designs or layouts without clashing with other elements. Using a white background can help maintain consistency across Misplaced Pages pages. Many infobox images on Misplaced Pages use a similar format, making the layout cohesive and visually appealing.

Category:Indian Hindus

An editor has removed Category:Indian Hindus saying: No reference given for his religious faith discuss it on a talk page before adding it.

I think that the following can support a statement that Rahul Gandhi is a Hindu.

Puniyani, Ram (9 July 2024). "Rahul Gandhi's Humane Hinduism Totally Differs from Violent and Hateful Hindutva of BJP-RSS". The Wire (India).
Mishra, Soni (16 January 2024). "'I don't need to wear religion on my sleeve,' says Rahul Gandhi amid Ram temple invite row". The Week (Indian magazine).
Jaffrelot, Christophe (16 February 2018), "The Most Hindu Of Them All", The Indian Express – via Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

As the news stories make clear, the BJP sometimes claims that opposition politicians such as Rahul Gandhi are not Hindus. It happens on Misplaced Pages too.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:40, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

The user is removing this without even discussing it on talk page. ZenDragoX _{(User) |}_(Contact) 12:50, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

He cannot be addressed as Gandhi, because his grandfather's actual name is Feroze Jehangir Ghandy. They have change their last name to Gandhi but, You cannot address him as Gandhi, because their is only one Gandhi and he is the father of our nation ie; Mahatma Gandhi. So please address him as Rahul or Mr.Gandhi as their family have changed their last name to Gandhi 103.42.199.55 (talk) 18:52, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
