Talk:Outline of South Asian history

message: I plan on making "History of South Asia" the canonical place for a grand overview of South Asia.  I will therefore move content off and merge content from History of India and History of Pakistan.  It makes no sense to divide history along the same lines as the present-day nations.  Then, specific articles like British raj (or British colonial India or whatever) and Indus valley civilisation and History of India will give more specific information on particular time periods.

  This article is part of the History of South Asia series.
  Indus Valley civilization
  Vedic civilization
  Middle kingdoms of India
  Islamic Empires in India
  Mogul Era
  Company rule in India
  British Raj
  Indian independence movement

To The Anome: I don't see the need to put in "in the Indian sub-continent".  It's somewhat confusing what this means; one could be forgiven for thinking it means "in India".  And there is simply no question that the Indus River is almost entirely within the borders of Pakistan, and this seems the most useful and natural way to describe its location.  The only thing that seems "contentious" about it is with the problem anon who perhaps questions the existence of Pakistan (or something), not a very tenable position. -- VV 21:56, 29 Oct 2003 (UTC)
thread_title: History of South Asia

message: this should be History of the Indian subcontinent. "South Asia" is too inexact a term. At the moment History of India has the same focus. We should have one pre-1947 History of the Indian subcontinent, and only for times after 1947 three separate articles, History of the Republic of India, History of Pakistan, History of Bangladesh. Otherwise, we'll treat the IVC and stuff here, on History of India and on History of Pakistan. These will essentially pov-forks, and maintaining consistency will be a nightmare. dab (ᛏ) 10:52, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

message: In the diagram of the History of India you can see how the section "North India" redirect to History of Punjab, but i think this is a mistake because North India is far more than that region. I search an article about history of all North India like is defined here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_india but there isn't. I have not the needed knowledge about the subcontinent for make a stub but i think that a new article about the history of all true North India is needed. regards --Bentaguayre (talk) 20:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: History of North India = History of Punjab?

message: I am removing History of Tripura under both History of Bengal and History of Bangladesh. The History of Tripura should be directly under History of India as it has historically never been part of either Bengal or the newly created nation of Bangladesh.

thread_title: Survey

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:00, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

message: What should be the correct target article for redirects like History of South Asia and History of the Indian subcontinent? Currently, we've got about a dozen different redirects for variants of these two terms  , and they indiscriminately redirect to either this article (Outline of South Asian history) or to History of India. Another eligible target (with no incoming redirect that I can see) is South Asia#History. – Uanfala (talk) 23:14, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless anyone objects, I'm going to retarget all the redirects to South Asia#History. – Uanfala (talk) 15:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
