Like Melechha, this user's main interest seems to be Indian military history, with a particular focus on the Mughal–Maratha Wars. The account was created on 9 August, soon after Melechha was indefinitely blocked as a result of an ongoing AE request. Both users seem to have a strong pro-Maratha POV and have created drafts that glowingly describe Maratha victories in imperfect English. For example, Draft:Siege of Ahivant (Wikihistoryedito) contains the following text:

Compare this to Draft:Siege of Panhala 1690 (Melechha):

Both editors have interacted extensively with, another editor who apparently has a pro-Maratha POV. They've both edited, which Aryan330 created. A quick perusal of Melechha's talk page shows that the users have communicated extensively regarding the ongoing content dispute at Battle of Sangamner. Wikihistoryedito recently asked Aryan330 to talk on other platform. — SamX &#91;talk · contribs&#93; 22:17, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

 * @SamX another editor who apparently has a pro-Maratha POV if you find out any problem in my article of Battle of of Vani & find out any unconstructive edit then block me I am saying you.
 * & If not please don't use words like pro Maratha. I am here to build Wikipedia,I had only made one article,then on what basis you are saying that I am a pro Maratha?
 * Wikihistoryedito recently asked Aryan330 to talk on other platform.
 * I had told him on his Gmail that please don't ask me for personal talk. Aryan330 (talk) 03:31, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
