Concern: Lohara dynasty article lacks Indian scholarly input

Hello WikiProject India,

I recently read the Wikipedia article on the Lohara dynasty, and I wanted to raise a few concerns that I think might interest this project.

The article heavily focuses on the more scandalous aspects of the dynasty—like incest, fratricide, and internal power struggles. While I understand that much of it comes from Kalhana’s 'Rajatarangini,' the article gives almost no attention to other aspects of the dynasty, such as its administration, culture, or historical significance in Kashmir’s medieval period.

More importantly, the article seems to rely almost entirely on older or colonial-era sources (e.g., Aurel Stein), with little or no representation from modern Indian scholars or academic research. This seems like a serious gap, especially given the importance of including diverse perspectives, particularly from regional or Indian historiography.

I’m not a historian myself—just a concerned reader—but I believe this article could really benefit from the attention of editors within this project. If any of you could:

• Suggest better sources from Indian historians,
• Help revise or balance the current content,
• Or even flag the article for improvement or review,

...that would be immensely helpful.

Thank you for your time, and I really appreciate all the work this project does to improve India-related content on Wikipedia. Dunkan4051 (talk) 09:28, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Artificial intelligence arms race

I request anyone to maintain the page in terms of infobox and information about India. Someone is removing the Indian initiatives in the infobox for no reason despite the fact that India is already in top 10 of AI Arms race. I have no problem of having other countries in the infobox but protecting Indian interest is important. Well I could do that, but I have exams and need to study. Please anyone check the page regularly. 2405:201:900C:D17F:FC6D:6BD1:307D:7CBE (talk) 07:18, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
