Comment: After building several preps with no representation outside of North America and Europe, I am making a push to get GAs from under-represented areas and categories into DYK. This is nomination 1 in that effort.

Improved to Good Article status by Alivardi (talk). Nominated by The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) at 07:25, 23 May 2020 (UTC).

Article is long enough, is a newly-promoted GA, is generally policy compliant, hook is interesting, QPQ done, AGF on book source. Hog Farm (talk) 21:23, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

@Hog Farm: would you like to add an approval tick? Yoninah (talk) 21:30, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Added. Forgot about that. Hog Farm (talk) 21:33, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but find the hook less than exciting, perhaps because of all the passive verbs in it ("was conquered", "was killed"). Is there any way to write something in an active voice? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:27, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that after the king of Kachar died whilst invading the Pratapgarh Kingdom, his widow Kamala commanded its conquest herself to avenge him? Source: Choudhury, Achyut Charan (2000) [1910], Srihatter Itibritta: Purbangsho (in Bengali), Kolkata: Kotha (p. 295)

I tried to incorporate your points Yoninah. What do you think?
Alivardi (talk) 01:05, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

I've restored the original hook and put Alivardi's down as ALT1, above. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 04:29, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, ALT1 does read better. Restoring tick per Hog Farm's review. Yoninah (talk) 12:39, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
