Comment: Much of the sources here are rather routine news coverage, primary sources, interviews, profiles. It needs more sources about him in detail (see here). ToadetteEdit! 14:51, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This biography relies solely on primary sources -- sources from organizations with which Rattan has been directly involved, or interviews with Rattan himself. More evidence of independent coverage is needed. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:12, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
