Maharana Pratap

  • Pg 29 of the book (which is the page that mentions that Royal family of Mewad is related to Saurashtra) is titled "Maharana Pratap"[1], I think that makes it clear it is about him.
  • It is in a snippet, but I can access the full book in a nearby library.
  • It is relevant since Maharana Pratap is also popular in Gujarat and historically he was connected to Gujarat (for example his father had conflicts with Bahadur Shah of Gujarat) so this detail about his relations to Gujarat should be added somewhere in the article.

Let me clarify my points:

  • This snippet which you referenced to frame this line -> He belonged to the Royal Family of Mewad which was also related to the Royal Family of Saurashtra, Gujarat.[3] doesn't mention Maharana Pratap ("He").
  • Secondly, this line
the Royal Family of Mewad which was also related to the Royal Family of Saurashtra, Gujarat.
itself is irrelevant to the article on this individual, Maharana Pratap. It might be relevant to the "Royal Family of Mewad" article if there's any in Wikipedia. Just as an example, you can't write "Irfan Pathan belongs to the community of Pathans of Gujarat which is also related to the community of Pathans of Rajasthan", since 'Pathans of Rajasthan' is not relevant to Irfan's article.
  • Thirdly, Snippets can be tricky. It seems that the authors of the book quoted other people, as I can see a 'Devashankar Mehta' here. It can be possible that the above line has been adapted from somebody else's work. And we can't be sure if the authors are in agreement with it either.
  • One of the three snippets provided by you now, one talks about "9 Gujarati dramas written on Maharana Pratap" clearly, but doesn't clear anything about the "Royal families". You can't use different snippets to deduce something which had not been written explicitly. It is just synthesis of published material. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:02, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
