Talk:Porus

Semi-protected edit request on 18 April 2024
Change 'in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent' to 'in the Punjab region of modern day Pakistan'.

The request is simply due to the fact that Porus' entire kingdom was in the doab between the Jehlum and Chenab rivers which completely lie in modern day Pakistan. If one were to even look at Alexander's conquest of the subcontinent, ( one can check the Wiki page on this at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_campaign_of_Alexander_the_Great ) his entire route was through modern day Pakistan only. It seems quite disingenuous if the Wikipedia page for Porus does not contain a single mention of which modern day country his empire spanned (especially when this is the norm across Wikipedia). 82.33.137.137 (talk) 08:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Incomplete article
Hello Wikipedia users,

I'm really not sure why Pakistan isn't mentioned on this page at all. Any attempts at even mentioning Pakistan are repeatedly removed.

There are countless sources mentioning how a great deal of Porus's land is in modern day Pakistan, this shouldn't be such a politicised article. It's intellectual dishonestly to omit such a key detail from this article.

Does anyone else have any suggestions? I do believe that changing "in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent." to "In the Punjab region of Pakistan and India" would be much more accurate. The Indian Subcontinent is a massive region and only a miniscule part of it is relevant to porus anyway.

I want to hear other people's thoughts before changing it myself and having it removed...then engaging in a futile edit war
