Disambiguation link notification for July 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Indus Valley Civilization, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Khasi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Good Work and now do a Mughal Empire Map

You are doing a very work. Can you prepare 1) a single compact map of Mughal Empire's expansion under Babur to Akbar to Aurangzeb and 2) another map of India in 1525 (just prior to the Mughals) where Vijayanagar was at its zenith expansion in the south, Rajputs were in the Rajputana and Central India , Gajapati Kingdom in the East and Lodi Sultanate in the Gangetic Plain (UP & Bihar mainly)?

If you can do these works, put the two maps then in the History of India wiki Page.Ghatus (talk) 07:56, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll try to collect sources and do these some time this month. Avantiputra7 (talk) 20:03, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Indus script

If you had read the lead before, you would find:- it is undeciphered, and no underlying language has been identified. There is no known bilingual inscription. The script does not show any significant changes over time.

There is no need to add a different view of 2 people to the lead then, it is becoming repetitive. Bladesmulti (talk) 11:50, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Of course, I saw that. But the question of "whether the Indus symbols were a writing system" logically leads to a discussion of what the symbols could actually be, if not writing. As it stands, I think the lede gives undue weight in favor of the Brahmic hypothesis, which is by no means favored by most scholars. But I will leave it as is. Avantiputra7 (talk) 11:41, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

On Battle of the Ten Kings, you should not insert any dates. Because there is no scholarly agreement about the dating. Other author said that battle took during 3750 BCE. But one-one citations are not enough for making these huge claims. Bladesmulti (talk) 11:33, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

I have reinstated the date to infobox. Bladesmulti (talk) 11:40, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Edits

Don't remove the edits made by me because only after much studying & knowing I have edited them. Yaditiva (talk) 10:09, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Looks like you (Yaditiva) simply changed the dates at various articles, ignoring the sources there. I.e., Wendy Doniger on the Kama Sutra: "The Kamasutra is the oldest extant Hindu textbook of erotic love. It was composed in Sanskrit, the literary language of ancient India, probably in North India and probably sometime in the third century." Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 10:55, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Your help

Hi there. I was impressed by your gif(?) map at Maurya Empire. I have an FA that I'm trying to update and save from being FAR'd. It is Political history of Mysore and Coorg (1565–1760). It is the history of a geographical region that was properly defined only after this history had ended. (Sort of like India's history!) Anyway, the region was defined by the British: the princely state of Mysore and the province (i.e. of British India) of Coorg. Needless to say, this region had been ruled by a succession of different rulers. The history begins with the defeat of the Vijaynagara empire in 1565 and the empire's gradual breakup. The rule by Bijapur, Golconda, Marathas, and the Mughals follows. Other regions fall under the rule of the Wodeyars of Mysore, the Nayakas of Ikkeri, and the subedars of Sira, not to mention the Rajas of Coorg. There are maps in the article showing the boundaries of these regimes. Do you think it might be possible to make a gif that shows the political boundaries changing dynamically? Best, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:28, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

@Fowler&fowler: Yes, that can certainly be done. I am currently looking over those maps to familiarize myself with the details, and I believe that I can have a gif ready in the next few days. Just let me know if there are any more specifications you want me to take note of. -Avantiputra7 (talk) 03:42, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

@Avantiputra7: Great! Thanks. I might have some other old British maps that are not in the article. If I do, I'll send them to you later today. Best, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 11:39, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Golden Age

In this edit, you added a citation of Kulke & Rothermund 2004, p. 93 at the end of the sentence:

This period has been considered as the Golden Age of India by some historians, although this characterisation has been disputed by other historians.

I've removed that citation because it does not clearly support either part of the statement. They do not use the term "Golden Age" on page 93 (or elsewhere in the text), but neither do they say that this was a conscious decision or if so why they made it. The term does appear in the book's index, on page 414, where it says "Golden Age see Guptas". This suggests that they know it is a term that readers might look for, and that those readers would expect information about the Guptas, but doesn't say that some historians call the classical age of the Guptas the Golden Age, or express an opinion on whether that's an apt appellation or not.

If you think I made a mistake, and would like to re-add the citation, please explain how it supports the statement. Since the lead is supposed to summarize the body, you might also address somewhere in the body (perhaps in the legacy section) the debate as to whether it was a "Golden Age" or not. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:30, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

@Worldbruce: Yes, you're right, of course. Honestly I'm actually not sure why I got that citation wrong, but I checked and I think that I was mis-remembering the passage from pages 85-87, which rather has a different bearing, concluding thus: "The much maligned 'dark period' [between Mauryas and Guptas] was actually the harbinger of the classical age." Oh well, thanks for the correction. -Avantiputra7 (talk) 07:44, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Malin mountain range

V.A. Smith (1914), Early History of India, p.151: "The satrapy of Gedrosia (or Gadrosia) extended far to the west, and probably only the eastern part of it was annexed by Chandragupta. The Malin range of mountains, which Alexander experienced such difficulty in crossing, would have furnished a natural boundary." Any idea what this Malin mountain range is? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 19:50, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Joshua Jonathan: Nothing at all that I can find out about "Malin", but there is a "Malan" mountain range, that is described as "an offshoot of the Makran Coastal Range", and it was a barrier to Alexander's passage: [1]. It is seemingly a little to the west of Hingol National Park and Hinglaj Mata Temple. -Avantiputra7 (talk) 06:09, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Great! I won't give you another barnstar, but thanks a lot! I'll use it at Seleucid–Mauryan War#Ceded territories. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 06:36, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Arachosia

If I get Tarn (1922) p.100 right, does he say that the territory ceded by Seleucus didn't even include the Kandhahar-Kabul valley, but followed the mountainrange between that vallley and the Indus? I've adjusted a number of maps, but it looks like they'll have to be adjusted even further. Would you be willing to draw it in at this map (or a copy)? See also this map. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 12:08, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

@Joshua Jonathan: It should be kept in mind, Tarn's writing was completed before any edicts of Ashoka in Kandahar and Laghman Province were discovered (1950s1930s-60s). So his work is outdated and excessively skeptical in this particular regard (but I think he is indeed correct in his refutations regarding Aria and western Gedrosia). -Avantiputra7 (talk) 13:23, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
