Talk:Taxila

Map of India Shown wrong. Jammu and Kashmir Integral part of India shown in Pakistan
Dear Sirs, I have been an old user of Wikipedia since a decade, but I have noticed you have been showing part of Jammu and Kashmir (POK) in Pakistan. This is a grave mistake pl. Correct the same as it is Pak Occupied Kashmir but have always been an integral part of India. Pak is yet to leave the area but must be shown as one J&K which has been part of India since centuries.

 * Can you provide WP:THIRDPARTY reliable sources that show the kind of map that you prefer? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:25, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Etymology
"...is an alternate name for the Nāga, a non-Indo-Iranian people of ancient India."

Literally Taksha or Tokkho or Tokkhok means snake. Another word for snake is Naga or Nag. Thus the name would literally mean Snake Rock or Naga Rock supporting the above statement.

However, there may be other translations of taksha or tokkho: imagination; creativity; skill; knowledge; etc. Dokkho or daksha literally means skilled. onushilon.org takho--Novo24 (talk) 04:43, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Why Taxila?
The city was known by the name of Takshashila, Taxila is a Greek pronunciation(?), and was probably used by Greek writers who never visited India. Shouldn't the article bear its actual name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronitd (talk • contribs) 11:11, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * We use the common name in English for articles. You'll need to show that the common English name (in scholarly sources) is Takshashila to make the change. --regentspark (comment) 14:36, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

"After 5 AD, the Muslim ruler Muhamad Tuglak tried to destroy it."
This sentence is out of context. Muhammad bin Tughluq was the Sultan of Delhi from 1325 to 1351. What is he doing in a section titled: "Indo-Greek"? אביהו (talk) 08:43, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
