add a line about marathas in the (top) section[edit]

maratha empire is acknowledged by western, british historians (no 1 point) that means it did existed. it also had an area about 2.5m sq km which means it was bigger that 1 m sq km hence a big enough empire to be added in (top) section. it crushed mughal empire by force (but you dont have to write that as it would be equal to indians defeating turks pbuh swt which is not possible so you just write something like "mughal empire was gradually followed by marathas however we dont yet know about how mughals declines"). then add a line stating that three anglo maratha wars resulted in british rule (istead of saying "Gradually expanding rule of the British East India Company followed" like if mughals were the greatest before british Uvrajgupt (talk) 14:47, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kautilya3, RegentsPark has reverted my edit which can be seen here and asked me to get a consensus for the fact that the Marathas ended Mughal rule and established the Maratha Empire consisting of most areas of the Indian subcontinent but lost almost all those territories to the English East India Company in the Second and Third Anglo-Maratha war using the sources mentioned in the diff (about the establishment of the Maratha Empire). Can you start a, 'Request for Comments" for the same?

Hey, may you please explain more about "request for comments", i would really love to help you out.
Making the Raj is good enough (ive only read first few pages) but it doesn't tell you that marathas ended mughal rule, we need another one for the same, we need to find some good source, these days im really busy but will surely look into them in a week or maybe after three or four days, till then if you find something similar, do let me know and tell me more about request for comments, i never heard of it and the web is showing different results for the same Uvrajgupt (talk) 18:09, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 6 April 2024[edit]

ADD to initial description after 

"During the same time, its nominal per capita income increased from US$64 annually to US$2,601, and its literacy rate from 16.6% to 74%."

Over 90% of the labor force continues to work in the informal sector which generates about half of India's GDP. Despite the growth in GDP, real wages of workers have largely stagnated in the organized manufacturing industry since the 1980s.[1] Vuquiz (talk) 13:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding some more context to per capita income rise in short description[edit]

In the short description it states the following: 

"During the same time, its nominal per capita income increased from US$64 annually to US$2,601, and its literacy rate from 16.6% to 74%."

I suggest adding some more context in a new sentence after this one, giving more context to the suggested rise in nominal per capita income. While this number may very possible be true, this lacks some important context for readers.

For one, about 90% of India's workforce works in the informal sector of the economy (which contributes about 50% to India's GDP).[2]https://wol.iza.org/articles/the-labor-market-in-india-since-the-1990s/long [3]https://labour.gov.in/sites/default/files/report_vol_4_final.pdf (in the foreword, page 5) Since this is, by its very nature, not monitored by the government, its about impossible to give an accurate depiction of average incomes in the country as most workers would not be taken into consideration for this statistic. Secondly, the per capita income statistic is reductive in itself. It doesn't give the reader an idea on how these incomes are distributed, by the nature of how averages are calculated.

Hence, I suggest adding the information that about 90% of the labor force continues to work in the informal economy.

Furthermore, it might be useful to give an example of the development of incomes of an actually formal sector of the economy where accurate data exists. I suggest referencing the findings of a paper by the IZA World of Labor journal. They analyzed the development of real wages of workers in the organized manufacturing sector. Their findings were that wages have stagnated over the last several decades. [4]https://wol.iza.org/articles/the-labor-market-in-india-since-the-1990s/long#izawol.425-figure-000012

Otherwise, it might be useful getting rid of the nominal per capita income number in the short description in general. It's a very reductive term that lacks crucial context (inflation, distribution of said incomes etc.).

Put together into a coherent text, the addition to the short description may look like this: 

Over 90% of the labor force continues to work in the informal sector which generates about half of India's GDP. Despite the growth in GDP, real wages of workers have largely stagnated in the organized manufacturing industry since the 1980s.
