The birth place in info box reads as Hyderabad India and where as in section it say Qaimgunj, Farrukhabad.
upon my research i found his parents belong to Uttar Pradesh, pashtun family, but Zakir Hussain was born in Hyderabad Deccan. please see britanica online encyclopedia, here, here and here--Omer123hussain (talk) 04:25, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
he was definitely from pashtun afridi ancestry as many of his relatives pages also mention along with all his biographies. Their ancestors immigrated from Kohat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahimuddin_Khan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmud_Hussain

in the article it has been written that Gen Rahimuddin is the nephew of Zakir Hussain.I have repeatedly mentioned that Anwar Hussain who was the famous tv anchor in Pakistan and was also the managing director of the state media of pakistan was his nephew. he was the eldest son of Dr. Mahmud Hussain his brother.Gen Rahimuddin was his close relative. not his nephew.I have mentioned this fact repeatedly in the article but someone always delete this part.I think this is unfair on the part of the real nephew of Zakir Hussain. someone should take notice of this injustice done to the real heir of Zakir Hussain.and not let the truth be deleted. I am the grandson of Dr. Mahmud Hussain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fehed74 (talk • contribs) 14:50, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A country's president is a president of every citizen. Putting him in brackets of religion is not acceptable. No one will ever write that Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the first Hindu president of this 'secular' nation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shivansh92 (talk • contribs) 17:46, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: 
Good well-written article. The given DYK hook is still okay for global audience, so sort of okay, but to South Asian this information is important but may not be novel any more. I would suggest to create alternate hooks either based on his diverse educational background or his doctorate in economics from University of Berlin. Though I am not holding DYK approval for alt options but I am just still to confirm on QPQ requirement. Bookku (talk) 15:16, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zakir Husain (politician) → Zakir Husain – Gets more views than the other Zakir Husain. The others listed at Zakir Hussain have two "S"s not one. Also the primary topic and has the most long term significance. Sahaib (talk) 14:06, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
