Important Chowk & Colony

Does anybody know what "Important Chowk" and "Important Colony" is supposed to mean?

Chowk is a Hindi word which means a intersection of two or more important street or road in the a town. It is common to see small market place around the Chowk and is sometimes a important landmark in small towns in northern India.

Colony in word when used in context of an Indian town is a small settlement area consisting or 50-100 houses. Usually it is constructed by a builder who purchases a big chunk of land and then constructs houses like Mithila co-operative colony developed on the land of darbhanga raj-user:Maheshwar Lal/ criticalcare 04/02/2007

Credibility of History

Please make the history more factual(With suitable citations). And please do away with the portion where it suggests its history dates back to mythology of Mahabharata and Ramayana. I do not want to hurt any feelings but please use sound evidences.

The above comment was added by an anonymous person who did not know that Ramayana explicitly mentions Mithila a number of times. Sita was a princess of Mithila. Darbhanga is the principal town of Mithila. Hence there is nothing wrong to associate this region with Ramayana. Sources are needed for debatable statements. Each and every statement in Wiki need not be sourced. There are persons who say Ramayana is merely a litereary work, lacking historical value. But even literary works have historical value, and regions like Mithila mentioned in ancient works actually existed (and exist even today). -VJha (talk) 04:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to get some more information on King Chaturbhuj of Darbhanga. Does anyone know of this and can it be posted to the Wiki History?209.94.201.130 (talk) 07:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Revdel request

I cannot include the URL with the revdel request that I have just added since it is on the spam blacklist, but you can find it by pasting the first sentence of the offending three paragraphs of text into Google's search engine. Thanks, Wham2001 (talk) 10:27, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
