http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Pusyamitra_Sunga&diff=prev&oldid=126354485 Koenraad Elst posits that historical facts confirm that Pushyamitra allowed and patronized the construction of monasteries and Buddhist universities in his domains, as well as the still-existent stupa of Sanchi. Etienne Lamotte states: “To judge from the documents, Pushyamitra must be acquitted through lack of proof.” [1]
@ Utcursch: I think I was the one who added the tags. I find the sections on Pushyamitra's origins and his gotras to be overly detailed and given undue importance in the article. The section on his Buddhist persecution is, while less so, also overly detailed. There's also way too much "According to Foo" and "According to Bar" going on (where Foo and Bar are often authors of unreliable sources).-- Cpt.a.haddock ( talk) (please ping when replying) 11:52, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
Could someone with access to either his book or the Caravan piece consider incorporating DN Jha's views on Pushyamitra Shunga into this article? You can read an excerpt here. The Caravan original is here.-- 49.205.84.127 ( talk) 19:25, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
