Inconsistencies in the article of Dushyanta and Bharata
"Shakuntala is in fact a ploy to have his subjects accept her as his true wife, since he had feared rumors might otherwise have arisen as to the propriety of the marriage. After a long course of arguments made by Shakuntala, the king accepted her as his wife. Their child was renamed Bharata."

This version of the story is different from the one specified on "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dushyanta" which is

"One day, sage Durvasa visits the hermitage, but Shakuntala, who is too absorbed in her love for Dushyant, forgets to serve him food. In a fit of anger, sage Durvasa curses her, saying that the person she is thinking about will forget her. A shocked Shakuntala begs for forgiveness and the sage, after recollecting his calm, assures her that the person will remember her again when she shows some proof of their acquaintance.

So, Shakuntala sets off to the capital, Hastinapur, to remind Dushyant of their past love. An accident occurs by which a fish consumes the royal ring, leaving Shakuntala with no formidable proof.

Dushyant does not recollect Shakuntala, but his memory and love are rekindled when a sage (not the same who cursed Shakuntala) recovers the ring and brings it to the court. Dushyant weds Shakuntala, who becomes his queen and mother of his son, Bharata." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.178.154.59 (talk) 07:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Bharata seems to have conquered part of Australia according to the map. Is there any reference to Australia anywhere? Did he conquer South India? There is no mention about Bharata in Tamil literature. Or, is there any mention about Tamils in Sanskrit literature of his time? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Na Chozhan (talk • contribs) 13:15, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Vishnupurana vs Mahabharata
According to vishnupurana (hinduism) and Adi purana (Jainism), Bharata was the son of Rishabha. Whereas Mahabharata by kalidas states that Bharata was the son dushyanta. I guess both the texts are of hinduism, also there's no reference not any detail of king dushyanta anywhere else. Why is there incostistency? Which one is correct? -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo 20:17, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Shakuntala can be shortened
There's a separate article for shakuntala. The part of it which doesn't talk about Bharata can be shifted from this article to shakuntala. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo 20:22, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Merging the two pages on Wikipedia, Jadabharata and Bharata (emperor)
Merging the two pages on Wikipedia, Jadabharata and Bharata (emperor). Both these pages talk about the same person. The son of Rishaba, the first Emperor of India.I am suggesting a merger to these pages. Any thoughts? Sasvijay (talk) 19:33, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
 * There's a difference between the two, someone changed it recently to make it similar. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  05:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC)


 * It seems same to me. I also think they can be merged -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo 20:24, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
