New map proposal
editI would like to propose a new map for the infobox of this article (see proposal to the right). The new map is exactly sourced to Joseph E. Schwartzberg's A Historical Atlas of South Asia: please see the map online under "Calukyas of Kalyani" in Schwartzberg, Joseph E. (1978). A Historical atlas of South Asia. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. p. 147, map XIV.3 (e). ISBN 0226742210.. The new map also provides more details (topographical details, major cities, more accurate boundaries), and avoids using anachronistic modern national and regional boundaries. Per Schwartzberg, the territorial boundaries correspond to the period 1050-1150. Thank you for your comments. पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 08:55, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

- The map you propose has some issues. The Cholas were still very powerful and often contested over Andhra with the Chalukyas and both empires won and lost some
of the territories you have included under the Chalukyas from 1050-1150. In fact Andhra was firmly under the Cholas till about 1179. Some Chalukya territories were lost after 1126 but your map does not reflect all that. So I suggest we retain the existing map.Pied Hornbill (talk) 03:19, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
