Some Indian media sources refer to Sonia Rathee's family as being part of the Jat community, a traditionally agrarian caste in northern India. While such references are common in Indian celebrity coverage, Wikipedia's Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) policy generally discourages including caste identifiers unless they are clearly relevant to the subject's public life or career. In this case, the article does not include this information because caste has not played a notable role in Rathee's professional achievements, public identity, or media presence.
It's also worth noting that caste-based discrimination is illegal in India under Articles 15 and 17 of the Constitution [see Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989]. At the same time, many South Asians — in both India and the diaspora — continue to identify with caste or community as a marker of cultural heritage, tied to regional traditions, ethnographic history, and disciplines such as ethnomusicology. This note is provided to help readers and editors understand the complex role caste plays in Indian society and why its mention in public biographies can be both culturally meaningful and socially sensitive. – Eurodog (talk) 06:07, 7 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Some sources cited in the article (e.g. Bollywood Hungama, Hindustan Times) include Sonia Rathee's name in Hindi (सोनिया राठी). Since she is an Indian public figure appearing in Hindi-language productions, and some coverage uses Devanagari, I propose re-including the native script either in the infobox or the lead, consistent with its usage in sources. While WP:NOINDICSCRIPT discourages unnecessary script additions, it allows for exceptions when the subject is commonly known in that script or when it aids identification. This may help Hindi-speaking readers and improve searchability. – Eurodog (talk) 06:07, 7 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
