Religious demographics

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The third para of the "demographic" section in the article/page mentions a "religious breakdown" of Dharavi's population, amongst its Muslim, Christian, Hindu and Buddhist demographics. None of the sources added back-up what's said however.

The first source has only a faulty archive link which opens a 2007 photograph about a Dharavi household. The second source has an archive link of the official Census of India document which shows the 2001 religious breakdown of India, not of Dharavi. The third source has a archive link of an article about the History of Dharavi's churches but no mention of its religious breakdown.

The information added about the religious breakdown is purely fabricated in the article and needs to be deleted immediately. Saandd (talk) 17:02, 7 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
