 * V P Singh by Arjun.jpg

Date of birth
The article says:
 * Singh was born on 25 June 1930, the third child of the Hindu Rajput Zamindar family

So the IP editor was correct in trying to change the date of birth to 25 June 1931. -- Toddy1 (talk) 07:31, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * gives the date of birth as 25 June 1931
 * does not mention the date of birth, though page 75-76 mentions that VP Singh was a Rajput. (The archive link does not show page 75.)
 * does not mention the date of birth, though it does mention that he was a Hindu and a Rajput.

Vishwanath Pratap Singh → V. P. Singh – The shortened form seems to be the widely used reference instead of full form. See Ngrams and Google Books (full ~18,400 vs short 178,000) — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:15, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Edit 'Prime Minister Section'
Looks like a case of copy paste has happened in this section. The section entitled 'Prime Minister' has the paragraph

'V. P. Singh faced his first crisis within few days of taking office, when Kashmiri militants kidnapped the daughter of his Home Minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed (former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir).[56] His government agreed to the demand for releasing militants in exchange; partly to end the storm of criticism that followed, he shortly thereafter appointed Jagmohan Malhotra, a former bureaucrat, as Governor of Jammu and Kashmir.'

This is also the opening para of the sub section 'Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus'. Suggest keeping this para in the 'Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus' and taking it off from the broader 'Prime Minister' section Suksane (talk) 10:41, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
