Talk:List of Indian monarchs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a good work and appreciable efforts made by you.
But in the Sun Dynasty section, you have mixed up the names of monarchs from the Sun Dynasty and the Moon Dynasty (Suryavansh and Chandravansh.
Aryaputra
Bharata, Yayati, Nahush etc are monarchs from the Chandravansh (Moon Dynasty)

[edit] Andhra Kingdoms
There is a glaring omission of dynasties that ruled Andhra region e.g. Ikshvakus, Anandagotrikas, Brihatpalayanas, Vengi chalukyas, Kakatiyas and Musunuri nayaks.
[edit] BCE/CE - BC/AD
Shouldn't the dates on this page and this entire Project use the BCE/CE format?
[edit] Monarchs
-This list is pretty interesting. Only thing is: A lot of it comes from folklore and mythology. Perhaps the list should begin with fact-based dynasties rather than dynasties, whose existence we can only trust based on scripture or who may be combinations of several real people. I am really pleased with the acknowledgement of the Achaemenid and Indo-Greek rulers. -[[Afghan Historian 01:45, 24 January 2006 (UTC)]]
[edit] Keeping the king lists real
I totally agree with you. It's like a curse with the Indian history pages in general, specifically south Indian dynasties. Some writers tend to exagerate the antiquity of the Tamil dynasties, even going to the absurd lengths of claiming an unbroken list dating back to c 9000 B.C.E!! See Pandya
I have restricted myself to writing NPOV articles on Cholas. I have therefore modified the list of Cholas to keep within reality.

[edit] Shakyas
Should the Shakyas be listed here? I think it's doubtful whether their position in society should really be described as monarch. Right now, we're listing three such monarchs for the same time period. Also, if the Shakyas are listed, should they be under Magadhan emperors? - Nat Krause(Talk!) 06:33, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vijayanarar Dynasty
For any one working on the Vijayanagar Dynasty of south India. I've up loaded two photographs of the dynasty tree. The was made by the archeological department at a site in Hampi. May be of help to people who are enthu on expanding the so called 'king list' Pratheepps 10:18, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
