Like Melechha, this user's main interest seems to be Indian military history, with a particular focus on the Mughal–Maratha Wars. The account was created on 9 August, soon after Melechha was indefinitely blocked as a result of an ongoing AE request. Both users seem to have a strong pro-Maratha POV and have created drafts that glowingly describe Maratha victories in imperfect English. For example, Draft:Siege of Ahivant (Wikihistoryedito) contains the following text:
Mughal Deccan viceroy Bahadur Shah I laid siege to Ahivant Fort but the Maratha garrison of fort made a gallant defence & Mughal army retreats with failure.
Compare this to Draft:Siege of Panhala 1690 (Melechha):
The Maratha commander was Ghatge of Kagal, the ancestor of both the present chiefs of that name. He made a gallant defence. He repulsed numerous assaults and, so the tale runs, he once made so terrible a slaughter of the storming party that he was able to make a platform of their heads and fire cannon from it into the Mughal trenches.
