Talk:Dhenkanal State

About the topic- Dhenkanal (Princely State)

While going through the article in Wikipedia about Dhenkanal (Princely State), I have come across some factual errors.

My father Late Rajkumar Gourendra Pratap Singh Deo, was the 5th son of Raja Sura Pratap Singh Deo Mahindra Bahadur. My father was born in 1915 and was hardly 11 years of age when Shankar Pratap Singh Deo annexed the throne. During the absence of Raja Shankar Pratap Singh Deo from the headquarters, Pattayet Narsingh Pratap Singh Deo (and not Rajkumar Gourendra Pratap Singh Deo) the 2nd son of Late Raja Sura Pratap, used to look after the administration of Dhenkanal. The name of the wife of Pattayet Rajkumar Narsingh Pratap Singh Deo was Jatan Kumari, a very pious lady, in whose name Pattayet Narsingh Pratap Singh Deo built a palatial building named Jatan Nagar, which is about 6kms away from the Palace. Jatan Nagar still exist in top of a hill in a dilapidated condition. I hope you will make the Necessary correction.

There are many other factual errors in the article which I will not like to delve into. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shailoja Shankar Singh Deo (talk • contribs) 05:32, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Dates

The article appears to jump from the 16th century to the 20th. I think we need to fill in the gap. Biscuittin (talk) 17:05, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
