Orphaned references in Alexander's Indian campaign

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Alexander's Indian campaign's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Mookerji":

From Chandragupta Maurya: Radha Kumud Mookerji, Chandragupta Maurya and His Times, 4th ed. (Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, 1988 ), pp. 31, 28–33.
From Taxila: Radha Kumud Mookerji (2nd ed. 1951; reprint 1989). Ancient Indian Education: Brahmanical and Buddhist (p. 478-489). Motilal Banarsidass Publ. ISBN 8120804236.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:51, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

"what was then part of India"

The modern nation state of India did not exist till 1947. The territory that is now India, was not a single entity until the 19th century under British rule. As this article itself states, during Alexander's campaign, present day India was several independent kingdoms. So I have remove the completely incorrect statement, "what was then part of India".

"India" was the name given to that territory and group and kingdoms. To make it a litle better, I have linked the name "India" to History_of_India#Persian_and_Greek_conquests. --Enric Naval (talk) 20:14, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect reference to "Massaga"

Hi,

In this page, the hyperlink to "Massaga" (which I think is actually supposed to be a place, based on context) in the part under "The Kambojas" wrongly points to something that relates to biology ("Massaga is a genus of moths of the Noctuidae family."). Can someone please fix this?

Thank You. Aashishsatya (talk) 22:36, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Indian campaign of Alexander..

Dear Editors,

I tried to edit some contents of the page. Initially I did not knew the rules, so harshly tried to put my point forth. Now I realized the process and still learning. I have some observations from some authentic sources which I would like to correct on the page. For every statement I have given their on the page , I have got sources, which I have mentioned. If someone want to challenge the sources, lets talk. We will discuss here and then we should do revert or editing on the page.

Regards,

Someone needs to fix the grammar on this page. It is written in bad English. Leecorp1 (talk) 23:09, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Dear Editors, there is no source of greek histroy whihc claims victory by alxander over Parvatheshwara(Porus). is hight ime you remove stupidty..like 1. Alexander defeated Porus and gave away his ally's(Ambhi) territory to a defeated King how stupid of you. And to prove this there is no eveidence even from Greek scholars of that time. how long will u keep telling lies. 2. It was Bharatha ruled by several Independent Kings but all kings complied rules set froth by Rajguru meaning even King was servant.. numerous occasions are there to porve that royal were paid from treasury including Kings wife, children. ganarajya. the rulers are srvant of the people. 3. Council of ministers were chosen not by King but by the different chieftans who were either defeated or were awareded by king. without approval of the council of misters not a pie could taken by king. read Dhanananda story sorruption, being a king he was taking money from treasury and hiding it in different places if it was his then why take and hide it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.252.231.12 (talk) 18:27, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
