Please can someone add citations for the individuals?

Please can someone help in these citations?

1.Most individuals listed here seem to be living individuals. For living individuals religion(or caste) needs to be self identified i.e. "I am a Jain" as per wikipedia policy. This includes people in the same family also. For example Nutan is listed on the CKP page but not her sister Tanuja as the latter is living. Similarly, Pramod Mahajan is listed on List of Deshastha Brahmins but not his son Rahul Mahajan.

2.Having Jain as last name is not enough just as having last name as Acharya does not necessarily mean a person is hindu (I could convert to any other religion tomorrow but still keep my last name).Thanks-Acharya63 (talk) 01:20, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
