Talk:Ilamchetchenni

Controversial Contents
All the points mentioned in the article about the relationship b/w chola-mauryas are controversial. There is no such Purananuru verse states that Ilamcetcenni had a relationship/fight/defeated with Bindusara. There is a only verse in Purananuru, states that Maurya try to conquer Mokur (City in southern pandyan kingdom) with the Help of Vadugas and Kosar kings and was defeated. And this song also not specifies the names of any kings.

Period mentioned in the article is only supported by Nilakanta Sastri. V. Gurunathan (Doctorate and Researcher in Thanjavur University) rejected this claim in his book[1] and said that these chola-maurya relationships are purely imaginary. So I changed the controversial contents.

Karikala isn't the successor of Ilamchetchenni
As the article states, Ilamchetchenni ruled from 501 BCE - 470 BCE. However in Karikala's article, it says he ruled around 190 CE. This makes these two rulers almost 700 years apart. Prakashs27 (talk) 12:16, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
