In the very first paragraph of the article, in the sentence "She was India's first, and to date only, female prime minister and a central figure of the Indian National Congress." the second comma should precede "only". The proposed version: "She was India's first, and to date, only female prime minister and a central figure of the Indian National Congress." D.baran ( talk) 12:11, 1 March 2023 (UTC) reply
