Kannauj must be the present day city with the same name in Uttar Pradesh, not Madhya Pradesh, isn't it? The name of the city during the subject period was Kanvakubja, isn't it? Joy1963 10:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gurjar Samarat Mihir bhoja the great

Hi, I found this akshardham official website link which appends 'the great' with Mihir bhoja 1.

"India's National Figures
Maharaja Bharat, Ashok the Great, King Vikramaditya, Maharaj Gurjar, the Great Gurjar Samarat Mihir Bhoj, Mahatma Gandhiji, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Lokmanya Tilak, Swami Vivekanand, Jagdishchandra Bose (scientist), C.V. Raman (scientist) and Shrinivas Ramanujam (mathematician)." Here RegardsChhora (talk) 13:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No doubt Gurjar Samarat Mihira Bhoja I was a great king, but "the Great" is not appended to his name, and is not used as part of his name (as is the case with Alexander the Great or Ashoka the Great). Even in the above reference, he's simply called "the Great Mihir Bhoj". The suffix "the Great" has got nothing to do with the greatness of a king, so you can stop pushing for it so hard! utcursch | talk 07:23, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok.One more thing he is also mentioned as Adivarah Mihir Bhoja by a number of historians.I think it's ok to add it in the artice.thanksChhora (talk) 07:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Samarat Mihir bhoja The Great: Greatest King of Gujara Pratihara Dynasty

Hi, Pratihara is right abbreviation of Gujara Pratihara Dynasty which is a Gurjar community. RebelRobin (talk) 17:49, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He was from Prtihar Dynasty. Please correct this. Please don’t play with history. Hardeep bhati (talk) 04:48, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I used to believe in wikipedia but after reading About Mihir Bhoj my trust is broken. A few years ago you said that Mihir bhoj was Rajput but now you changed this as Gurjar. Why you guys doing like this. Is wilipedia a fake platefprm? Hardeep bhati (talk) 04:58, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

there are several Inscriptions that state that Samrat Mihirbhoj was a Gurjar, for example - The translation of Copperplate from 6th Century of King JaiBhatt says that his Great grandfather was "Dadda", he also said that "Dadda" was born in the "Royal Race of the Gurjjara". Also, गुर्जजरनृपतिवंश means the Dynasty of the Gurjars. This tells us about the Tribal identity of "Gurjar". And Dadda also belonged to the same family tree as Mihira Bhoja, this means that Mihir Bhoj was a "Gurjara-Pratihar Samrat". another example - In the verse no.15 of Radhanpur Plates of Govinda 2 ( Rashtrkuta Ruler ), Gurjara is referred as "he" meaning that Gurjara is not a geographical area which rajputs say. This definitely tells about the tribal identity of Gurjar. 103.92.41.129 (talk) 10:03, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page title

I think Mihira Bhoja I is a misnomer. There was no second Mihira Bhoja. Bhoja I was popularly called Mihira Bhoja. So the page should be titled simply Mihira Bhoja. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:53, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I've moved the article. He is called Bhoja I to distinguish him from Bhoja II of the same dynasty. utcursch | talk 14:33, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mihira Bhoja (c. 836–885 CE) or Bhoja I was a king belonging to the Gurjara-Pratihara Dynasty. He was Gurjar by caste.He succeeded his father Ramabhadra. Bhoja was a devotee of Vishnu and adopted the title of Ādivarāha which is inscribed on some of his coins.[1] One of the outstanding political figures of India in ninth century, he ranks with Dhruva Dharavarsha and Dharmapala as a great general and empire builder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ranaadarshsinghofficial (talk • contribs) 06:07, September 11, 2021 (UTC)

Rajput identify is something that is discussed in the article as it's not a simple answer. It would not be appropriate to state in Wikipedia's voice something that is questioned by scholars. Ravensfire (talk) 17:59, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mihir bhoj is a rajput pratihar clan so please mention in it that mihir bhoj is gurjar from gurjar pratihar clan there are several surname in pratihar gurjar like inda pratihar etc.

Mihir bhoj is a gurjar pratihar clan so please mention in it that mihir bhoj is gurjar from gurjar pratihar clan there are several surname in pratihar gurjar like inda pratihar etc. There is mandor fort in rajasthan which given by pratihars gurjara to rathore gurjar of jodhpur in dowry this was also mention in folk books and folk songs of rajasthan and in history books also.

thanks you i think you understand what i  want to say to you 2409:4052:4E01:D25D:0:0:8E0B:8611 ([[User talk:2409:4052:4E01:D25D:0:0:8E0B

stop blatantly lying, no one is going to believe your lies,

Samrat Mihir Bhoj was a Gurjar, not a Rajput. Infact, there are literally countless inscriptions and notes stating his Gurjar identity, even Prithviraj Raso states that "Pratihar" is a Gurjar Clan. In his Legend "Pump Mahabharata" Kannad poet "pump" addressed Pratihar Samrat Mahipal as a Roaring Gurjar :- 103.92.41.129 (talk) 10:08, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s better to term him as a “Kshatriya”

As the community of Mihir Bhoj ji is disputed between The Gurjars and rajputs it’s better to term him as a Kshatriya and but there are proofs that he was a Gurjar and not a rajput Harshitbhati2006jik (talk) 02:20, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
