1) This article makes many references to the term 'Rajput' without demonstrating appropriate historical data to support the author's claims. 2) The author/contributor conflates the dynastic periods in Nepali history without critically analysing the different origins and ethnic backgrounds of the personnages. Their argument seems to be that the different Indo-Aryan dynasties that have ruled Nepal for the past 1500 years are related lineage-wise to today's Khas-Gorkha upper castes that claim 'Rajput' origins. This argument is not supported by any historical data on Nepal. Second, it takes the Indian title of 'Rajput' at face value without critically examining its usages in history. 3) The author/contributor has used a biased political position in a discussion on the 'Nepali' language and had deleted an addition of mine that critically analysed the biased position. My change on the page was to show that the language that we today know as Nepali was known in Nepal till the end of the 19th century as 'Khas kura/Gorkha bhasa/Parbatiya'. In their comment on my addition, they called the addition as 'Newari POV', which is an erroneous and biased claim since we have historical evidence from the early 20th century of the Rana government of Nepal declaring the Gorkha language as 'Nepali' at the behest of Gorkhali intellectuals in India. 4) The writer confuses between basic sociological concepts like class and caste.

In the text, successive dynasties of Nepal need to be rendered in their proper chronological order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swanbau (talk • contribs) 12:09, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
