Non-Aryan "Race" ?[edit]

It is distressing to see that while the world has moved away from the discredited aryan race theory, some people still haven't updated their knowledge. Some of the article was even written in vaguely racist tones. It is currently accepted that the aryan, non-aryan distinction is one based on linguistics only and not on genetics. I've edited some portions of the article accordingly.

Requesting other editors to check any sections I might have missed.

The rulers were of Kirat origin (mongoloid), who were eventually replaced by first Indo-Aryan kingdom who established the Kamarupa Kingdom. I think the word 'non-Aryan' should be replaced with the word 'Kirat origin' instead. Tizen03 (talk) 11:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They were related to the Angas as per puranic texts, a Mahajanapada. Kiratas are clearly defined in puranic texts and no such association with Paundras were made anywhere. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:19, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mahasthangarh and Pundravardhana[edit]

There are tow separate pages on Mahasthangarh and Pundravardhana. There is a link. There is no reason why matter from one should be placed in the other. - P.K.Niyogi (talk) 03:20, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
