Tandra Paparayudu
Tandra Paparayudu
  • ... that Tandra Paparayudu (statue pictured) who had rushed to the demolished Bobbili Fort to help his sister's family, killed the Raja of Vizianagaram and then committed suicide along with his accomplices?

Improved to Good Article status by Nvvchar (talk). Self-nominated at 08:25, 14 June 2016 (UTC).

  • The article is neutral, will-written and adequately sourced. Hook is short enough, interesting and sourced in the article. A few issues I was unable to fix:
Sher Muhammad Khan redirects to a 20th century Pakistani writer. In this article Sher Muhammad Khan should be a red link to a future article of the 17th century Indian Fouzdar.
  • Sorry about the link. Now delinked.
Is there information who is colonel Ford mentioned in the section "Post Bobbili war"?
  • Yes, Forde was a representative of the British Raj who were operating from Bengal. I have added this inofrmation
Is there information who is Rayadappa, mentioned in the same section?
  • Yes, he was the son of Chinna Ranga Rao
"After this the image of the lord is kept at the Dola Yatra Mandapa..." - what does this mean? After what event is the image of the lord kept the Dola Yatra Mandapa and who is that lord?
  • Clarified.
Who is "former Queen of Bobbili" and when did she live?
  • I have deleted the part about the queen as there is no further information about when she lived.
