Comment: Thanks for your submission! Unfortunately, I could not verify any information attributed to the second source (Indian Culture) as no page numbers were provided, and it's a 300-page document. The draft needs to reference reliable sources. The book source does not appear to meet this guideline as it was published by a member of that family, meaning it is not independent. Also, going off your username, you appear to have a conflict of interest with the subject of this draft; please read through that linked guideline and try your best to follow the instructions laid out. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:19, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
