The English is appallingly bad. And "approximately 2879 BC"??? Seriously???!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.97.111 (talk) 05:19, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I will be changing the dating system on this article away from the biased, Christian based AD/BC to the common era system next week. This will bring the article into alignment with secular usage such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_India. If you object, please state why you are ok with the biased system here.

Before you go changing AC BC please reread Wikipedia:Manual of Style, specifically MOS:VAR. Also, instead of hundreds of discussions regarding the changes on hundreds of different talk pages, get a conversation going here: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. Thanks!

I tried to make this change, however it was not accepted for being a visual change 216.251.143.50 (talk) 21:45, 1 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There wasn't a consensus to change the dating style. Please read MOS:ERA for when to use BC/AD & BCE/CE and check out MOS:VAR for changing dating styles. Quote from MOS:VAR: "When either of two styles are acceptable it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change". Key in on "substantial reason". Masterhatch (talk) 22:55, 1 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
