Placing Religion as a subsection Demographics[edit]

I'm of the opinion that religion can be placed as a subsection under Demographics section as inline with all other Union territory pages. Editormallu (talk) 14:44, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Need a good, big map[edit]

Just my two cents, but the only map of the archipelago is the India map at the head where the islands are circled. Good for the lede, but the group is barely visible - let alone individual islands. At least in the geography section, we need a nice, close-in map that clearly illustrates the archipelago. HalfdanRagnarsson (talk) 15:43, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good map which could be added. @ User:Magentic Manifestations [1]https://cdn.s3waas.gov.in/s358238e9ae2dd305d79c2ebc8c1883422/uploads/2018/03/2018031688.jpg
