There seems to be a repeated effort to replace the present infobox image of this article - That of Durga Puja - over the past year, with various editors presenting the argument that it is not representative of Hindus as a whole. An editor recently replaced it with an image of a Hindu bridegroom without discussing the change on this talkpage with other editors, and seems to have performed this same action this time last year. I have reverted this edit, both due to the lack of consensus, and because it is only representative of a northern Indian Hindu. if anyone wishes to replace the present image in the future, please discuss it on this talkpage, build a consensus, and then proceed. Personally, I would recommend that if you do nominate a new picture here, let it be as pan-Hindu and pan-Indian as possible without accounting for region-specific representations of Hindus.

Greetins there seems to be an overestimation of the number of Hindus in many countries.
When we have the official censuses numbers why rely on religious organizations that *always* exagerate the numbers ?
I mean here the exageration is not even adding 100 000 but literally doubling even sometimes tripling the numbers.
So why not just stick to the official numbers provided by government, considering that the controversies surrounding the numebrs are always highlightened in the articles anyway ?

The texts quoted that consider "Hindoo" derogatory state that it was used "on the street" as a "slang word". I believe the source was stating that calling someone "Hindu/Hindoo" was considered derogatory, not any specific spelling. The difference in spelling cannot be heard in spoken speech.
