Examples of not being neutral : semi-legendary Indian king, gossipy feel

This article reads more as how the events are interpreted today and less about Suheldev and what he is known for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhariram (talk • contribs) 12:29, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Gossipy feel" is in quotes, and attributed to a source. Mirat-i-Masudi is "a historical romance in which fact and fiction are freely mingled". If you think that it does not have a gossipy feel and is a reliable historical chronicle, find a source and add it to the article.

"Semi-legendary" is not POV either: no epigraphic, numismatic or archaeological evidence attests Suheldev. He is known from Mirat-i-Masudi, which, as stated above, is not a reliable source for history. The Mirat-i-Masudi only states that Suhaldev defeated Masood's army: the rest of the information about him is a result of 19th century inventions. In fact, scholars like Badri Narayan call it "the myth of Suahldev". So, obviously, the king is semi-legendary (if not completely mythical).

Suheldev's importance stems from his use in caste/religion-based propaganda. So, it's understandable that a substantial portion of the article is focused on how the story of Suhaldev is interpreted today. If there was more historical information available about him, the article would mention it. If you have such information, feel free to add it to the article with acceptable sources. utcursch | talk 16:54, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, page is without a lot of content backed by historical research. I was unable to find content on the net. If they are no further objections, I will try to create a more neutral version reflecting popular tales. Santosh L (talk) 18:15, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He's Suheldev, not Suhaldev
