The end of the article seems to suffer from a serious P.O.V. problem re: Sri Lanka. Could this be edited to a more neutral position? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.192.168.184 ( talk • contribs) 06:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC).
All right. Biographies of this dude have been written. He lived his life in the public eye. So what's the story: Was he a Zoroastrian, a Hindu, or a Muslim (as claimed by Sangh Parivar – I don't buy it myself)? I realize that orthodox Zoroastrians don't allow children of mixed marriages to be Zoroastrian, but I'm under the impression that reformist Zoroastrians do. The reason I ask is that we keep hearing that Manmohan Singh is the first non-Hindu PM, and I want to settle the question. So what about Rajiv? Indira? even Jawahar himself, hardly an observant Hindu? QuartierLatin1968 18:53, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Title of Mr. Firoze Gandhi was Khan. Even a few years ago in the Wikipedia page his name was written as Rajiv (Khan) Gandhi. Please note that Mr. Firoze Gandhi changed his title by Affidavit only. This is the reason of his last rites like Muslims. Subsequently, Rajiv (Khan) Gandhi changed his religion in Italy and became a Christian. Therefore I request the Wikipedia to kindly rectify.

-due to their relative purity as a ethnic group of Persian descent, Rajiv Gandhi should be acknowledged as half-Persian and in the Persian peoples category. Parsis are an Indian branch of the Persians. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.41.240.68 ( talk • contribs) 04:26, 21 February 2006 (UTC).

Hi. Could you please upload a real photo. Whomever drew this picture is a bad artist..does not reflect the picture of the person he tried to paint. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.119.214.241 ( talk) 19:52, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
I looked up the book "The State Within A State-The KGB And Its Hold On Russia-Past,Present and Future" by Yevgenia Albats - used to support the allegations made in the outlook magazine article "How Free Is India?" regarding Rajiv Gandhi and the KGB. There is a reference to a letter written by the head of KGB Viktor Chebrikov re Rahul Gandhi and funds provided to the Congress party. There is absolutely no reference to Rajiv Gandi other than than the line "contact with the son of Premier Rajiv Gandhi". So how did the wiki article end up arguing it was Rajiv Gandhi who had been in contact with the KGB? Furthermore there is no mention of the Communist party of the soviet union itself actively being involved. information is factually incorrect and should be removed.

It says on the main page "He went to study at Trinity College, Cambridge, and later at Imperial College London, but did not complete a degree at either. At Cambridge he met the Italian-born Antonia Albina Maino, who was also studying in the university, whom he later married." On Sonia Gandhi's page, it says she was in Cambridge studying at the Bell Language School. I am from Cambridge and I studied at the University. The Bell Language School is not a part of the University. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.180.80.194 ( talk) 07:37, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
There seems to be some sort of confusion about the name of his spouse. Is it Antonia Maino, as is written on the main section? Or Albina Maino, as written under Early Life and Career sub-section? 23-v,340vpe4wtme4p;t,e0 ( talk) 12:48, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
Someone added bhopal disaster in the article. Read the whole section and that section has nothing to do with Rajiv Gandhi. Secondly wikileaks information or allegations always seems to be suspicious here in India. They are hardly trust by Indian media. Eventually I am removing materials that have nothing to do with Rajiv Gandhi. Please discuss if have any doubts or views. Thanks and wishes. -- 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ☣ 06:17, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
Should we add the recent wiki allegations of Rajiv Gandhi being a arms middleman? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-22061487.
Wikileaks allegations have been added for other indian politicans such as Mayawati TimesGerman ( talk) 16:10, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
The article does not mention that Rajiv, like his mommy and grandaddy, was a drop-out. None of them were graduates. Anwar ( talk) 15:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

@ Royroydeb:, hats off for the work you have done on this article. I considered doing the review myself, but I think I've edited too close to this topic for that. However, I have one strong suggestion; get rid of the controversy section, and incorporate the information therein into the body of the article. Controversy sections are POV magnets, and figuring out due weight is always a challenge. It is also difficult to separate criticism from controversy; there are policies of his which have received criticism worth mentioning here, which does not rise to the level of the Bofors scandal.

This article (currently nominated for "good article status") does not maintain a neutral POV. Alluding to the "Italian waitress" in the lead, citation-less statements such as " his brother Sanjay (earlier Sanjiv) wielded significant, unofficial power; despite this", "Gandhi's prime-ministership marked an increase of insurgency in northeast India" etc. all lower the quality of the article. There also appear to be unreliable references in use: Meena Agarwal (who is named as a historian?) and her Diamond Pocket Book, Attar Chand, Tanvir Khan, et al. Sections under his prime-ministership are ordered haphazardly and the article, in general, suffers from a lack of balance.-- Cpt.a.haddock ( talk) 07:15, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Rajiv Gandhi did not withdraw the IPKF .It was V.P.Singh who wthdraw as the Prime Minister in 1990 March.Wrong details like he campaigned for UCPI while he was campaigning in Sriperumbudur for the Sriperumbudur candidate Maragatham Chandrasekhar and his last meeting was there and not tirutani as mentioned earlier.

It says Rajiv Gandhi failed to pass from both the college hence the word drop out. I found a link, it says he passed with second division. Moreover alma mater doesn't have reference to claim what it's mentioned in the article.-- 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS 🍁 06:15, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
