I marked the Life section up for tone. Non-factual information is mixed in with facts, and the tone is generally propagandistic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmramki (talk • contribs) 01:32, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request to remove "She was the first Indian queen to wage war with the East India Company in India" because it is fake (https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-check/story/fact-check-queen-velu-nachiyar-from-tamil-nadu-wasnt-first-indian-ruler-to-go-to-war-against-british-1892831-2021-12-27) 2409:4072:6C95:9129:44D9:25D7:E981:BE60 (talk) 06:01, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Per your source, But, is Velu Nachiyar the first Indian queen to fight against the British? According to historian V Sriram, there is a fair chance. "Velu Nachiyar would not be the first Indian to fight the British but definitely can be the first woman ruler to fight the British. Other known names like Abbakka Chowta would not qualify as she fought the Portuguese and not the British," he said. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:11, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
