message: Been monitoring this page for a couple years now, and only recently noticed the addition of "Tamil" as an identifier following Dr. Rajan's citizenship. The tag is cited, and is a known public fact. Still, couldn't help but wonder as to its relevance meriting its addition to the introductory line. 
To make things worse, its appearance breaks the flow of the sentence by adding pointless verbosity to it. Note that ethnic identifiers have been absent from the vast majority of articles about political economists, public figures in macroeconomics, or any other professional categories Dr. Rajan happens to fall under. We don't refer to Alan Greenspan as an 'American Jew' economist, why should Rajan be treated any differently? Would recommend removal if no valid reason for it to be placed in the introductory line is given.

text: My mistake.  I don't know why we shouldn't add reviews, such as http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2010/sep/30/slump-goes-why/ (New York Review of Books).  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 10:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I haven't read it, but the thesis (as described in the reviews) is inconsistent with common sense.  However, common sense has no part in Wikipedia, so that's irrelevant.  In general, reviews of the book would be appropriate in the article if the book is one of his major works.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 19:56, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

text: My comment is irrelevant only because yours is.  Nonetheless, since I made a mistake in not noting that Rajan is the author of the book in question, I reiterate that reviews of the book, including those which note that the book has no basis in fact, could be added.  The review has to be from a notable or reliable source, as is that in the New York Review of Books.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 09:52, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

message: On a matter of detail, what is Rajan's nationality? The page calls him an "American economist", and there has been some online debate about him being "American". If this is the case (i.e. being a US citizen), could he be possible for him to be appointed to the Governorship of the Reserve Bank of India? I think not....
Just querying so that there could be some clarity on this.
:This is not a forum to discuss matters about the subject. If there is any reliable source which speaks about the matter, present it, and we can have a discussion on that. Good day. MikeLynch (talk) 04:48, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Per WP:INDICSCRIPT, vernacular scripts are not allowed in the lead of biographical articles.  I hadn't heard of Mr. Rajan until a few days ago when I randomly edited the article, but I am aware of India's ethnic and cultural diversity.  Consequently, there is a natural tendency for editors from one group to claim a particular individual as one of their own and highlight their ethnic and cultural heritage.  In this instance, the citation for the inclusion of "Tamil," a NY Times interview is attempting to do just that, first calling Mr. Chidambaram, "Pall**** Chidambaram," which I imagine would be disrespectful to someone with a traditional Tamil name, and then looking for a lame "Barbara Walters" moment.  That, however, didn't happen.  Mr Rajan clearly didn't seem to make much of the Tamil connection, in fact highlighted his Hindi acumen instead.  To cut a long story short.  No scripts in the lead. I suspect editors will insert it from time to time; those who maintain the page can remove it citing "WP:INDICSCRIPT" in the edit summary.  Fowler&fowler«Talk» 12:38, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
