I am surprized that you decided to remove mentions of inscriptions of archaeological significance. Dr. H.V. Trivedi was a distinguished epigraphist, and Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum is a publication of the ASI, a government agency in India. Dr. Kasturchand Jain Suman is a distinguished epigraphist and a linguist. Several of the inscriptions mentioned are also referred to by other respected publications. They are not unreliable sources as you claim. They are all from respected sources.
The inscriptions are the single most reliable source of information, far more reliable than any legends or follore. The 13th century inscriptions mentioned are in museums or monuments, and are very well documented.

I would like to see translated quotations from all of the non-English sources, please. It looks to me as if many of them are not independent and therefore unlikely to be reliable anyway but let's see what shows up. - Sitush ( talk) 20:34, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

It is quite amazing that someone can claim that all "Raj Era sources" (what does that mean?) are unreliable. Malaiya ( talk) 00:21, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
