Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Delhi Sultanate, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 09:59, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, what I meant was imposition of Jizya (tax on non-believers) which was new to this subcontinent and Persian language instead of other native Indian languages. I think I forgot to clarify it, for the sake of brevity. These are just common knowledge without any opposition (for example here is one source - https://storyofpakistan.com/literature/). Please rephrase them, if that suits or completes the article better. 115.99.217.240 (talk) 10:45, 22 April 2020 (UTC)


 * The thing is that you'll need a scholarly source specifically making the claim that "the pre-Islamic invaders assimilated to the local culture", rather than making the inference yourself from jizya and language.
 * I'm not sure if any sources explicitly make this connection. I would suggest that rather than making a general claim, you describe specific differences between the culture of the Delhi Sultanate and the previous invaders. E.g. it is known that the Greeks, Huns, etc. adopted Indian theologies, Hindu law. I don't know if you can do this concisely, or that if it is sufficiently notable to mention. Maybe come up with something and post it on the talk page before posting the edit. Chan-Paton factor (talk) 12:35, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
