Talk:Kosala Kingdom

Uttara Kosala
I've redirected Uttara Kosala to Kosala Kingdom. The content was as follows:

{{quote| Uttara Kosala was one of the five main divisions of the kingdom of Rama in prehestoric Awadh.

Uttara Kosala corresponds to the modern trans-Ghaghra districts including Bahraich, Gonda, Basti and Gorakhpur.

Merge proposal
Back in April 2019 the proposed merging Uttara Kosala into Kosala Kingdom, giving the justification (in an unsupported reason field in the merge template): Both articles seem to cover the exact same topic. Thoughts? Klbrain (talk) 16:40, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Historicity
It is immediately obvious that this article is not written from a wholly historical perspective. It is heavily influenced by Ramayana characters, and references events in this religious text more so than historical sources. This article should solely be about the historical Kosala kingdom, and events surrounding it, reflecting historical consensus and records. If necessary, an article titled, 'Kosala (Ramayana)' could be created to separate the text's version of Kosala from the historical kingdom. As of October 2022, however, it is a hodgepodge of historical and mythological accounts, that only serves to confuse or misinform the average reader who can't read between these blurred lines. Please rewrite this article with historical sources, if you're an editor without an agenda. Much obliged! Chronikhiles (talk) 16:43, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
