Comment: This one's a fun one. I'm pretty inexperienced with the Indian subcontinent. One main comment I have is that the background section isn't very coherent - The pieces are there, but there's nothing really connecting them. Also not sure if the quotes really work well or not. I also think the prose is pretty bad.

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:03, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
