199:-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. -] -I am not pleased with Persian dynasty and seleuid dynasty their empire boundries never crossed hindukush.

I can't see a good reason why these should be removed: for completeness, the article should include foreign imperial monarchs, regardless of whether or not they ruled the country legitimately. I 've stopped reverting the blanking for now per

In my opinion, the
Timurid section needs some improving. It does state that Timur conquered parts of India in 1398, but instead of years of his reign (as is the case in most other sections), we have years of his lifetime - 1320-1405, so it should be corrected in some way... As for the Rajput section,

Dai
Pritchard, I absolutely agree with your position. In my opinion, the removal of foreign imperial monarchs is totally irrational - all of them (Persian kings, Hellenistic kings, British Raj monarchs) ruled over vast portions of India, or in some cases (like the British) ruled over the entire

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

Hi! After 69 editions I think I finally fixed the format of this article. It was a mess. I also enforced chronological order. Now we should work on referencing it and checking the lists themselves, which sometimes differ from those in the main articles on each dynasty.
