600,000 infantry ???? are you serious ? were they logistically capable to concentrate 600,000 men ? after u dont just gather men for fighting u have to feed them as well ! and sustaining 600,000 standing army is seriously a blind trust on primary sources, that were famous for exaggerations. so is there any one to take notice of it ? or u guys happy with fantacy size of kalinga troops !

keep in mind that before 13th century A.D concentrating troops more then 150,000 was logistically impossible, although any nation could posses a lot more "fighting people" but to concentrate them and organize them as an army was a totally different task. الله أكبرMohammad Adil 08:35, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

You seem to be disregarding the fact that Kalinga was fighting in its own territory.Also, it is very likely that these were militia rather than well trained soldiers.Also, check Battle of Changping

BTW, what happened in 13th century A.D?

The population of the sub continent during the Mauryan empire phase was 180 million with approx 50-60 million in the empire itself in the second century BCE roughly the same population as the Roman Empire which did have legionary forces approaching 645,000 at one point but they did not field them all in one war see this analysis Military Manpower, Armies and Warfare in South Asia by Kaushik Roy, Routledge, Oct 6, 2015.--Navops47 (talk) 14:46, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Bias

one of the most just ruler (sic) that India etc... The Contributor of this paragraph is so enamored with the subject that it's wholly unacceptable to be left as it stands. This section of the article needs a serious rewrite with attention to report facts rather than the perceptions of a biased writer. If this is to be a credible source for the preservation of knowledge rather than a cesspool ruled by libel and editorializing then articles such as this can not be deemed acceptable for public consumption. I recommend a complete rewrite to be undertaken by someone with more knowledge on the subject than I posses, and who shares my passion for the accurate dissemination of information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.83.206.89 (talk) 21:13, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm editing a bit, but without a citation I think this should be struck. Ethan Mitchell (talk) 23:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Feudal Republic

it says feudal republic but then it says its led by a young king? is more of a doge like character or was it a kingdom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.178.6.132 (talk) 14:26, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Map

The map nees to be modified to actually label Kalinga. 198.180.159.2 (talk) 17:52, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Reference

The Kalinga War was fought between the Maurya Empire with Ashoka and Raja Ananta Padmanabha. This phrase is left without mentioning Source for a long time. There is no historical evidence on the name of the king who fought with Ashoka. I propose this to be removed.--రవిచంద్ర (talk) 10:35, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
