Talk:Rakesh Sharma

Disambiguation page?
I recommend that someone put up a disambiguation page, to separate the cosmonaut from the filmmaker of the same name. The latter produced a documentary about the 2002 Gujarat riots. Sorry I don't know how to do it myself. The Sanity Inspector (talk) 20:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

birth place
is he born in Patiala or Ludhiana? many sites say Patiala except Wikipedia. --Kurumban (talk) 19:13, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Google query '"Rakesh Sharma" Patiala' return results for the Astronaut Rakesh Sharma. And query '"Rakesh Sharma" Ludhiana' return results for some other person with same name. So it is Patiala. Rāmā (talk) 15:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Wrong picture
hello everyone. i just tell that there is picture of a spacesuit in this article,given as space suit of Rakesh Sharma. Actually that is space suit of Ravish Malhotra who also trained Along with Rakesh Sharma. i suggest somebody please take original picture of his space suit and upload it. SANJAI DS (talk) 09:57, 22 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, I noticed that too. The picture needs to be deleted or the wordings should be changed to depict the correct infomration (that is was Malhotra's). Malhotra's name is written on the suit. Gopalakrishnanms (talk) 03:37, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

I renamed the description to correctly indicated whose suit was it. However, since it is not Rakesh Sharma's, the photograph may need to be deleted as it is not much relevant there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gopalakrishnanms (talk • contribs) 03:46, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
