-I have edited the article to arrange for the legend of Arash to parallel with Arjuna, as opposed to the other way around. Arjuna's article (and the history it details, for that matter) is far more encompassing, and its brevity far more profound. As such, it is only fitting that the legend of Arash be seen in light of Arjuna's highly revered station within the Mahabharata. I have nevertheless still illustrated the common ancestry of the cultures.

-:: I have pointed out that the link is tenuous. For one, nowhere in either article are the striking similarities shown. Second, its increasingly clear according to Indian sources, and modern genetic research, that the Indian culture draws from a local lineage, and is not from an overarching Indo-Iranian/ Aryan one. Hence, unless more references are provided- Arash and Arjunas similarities remain conjecture. (Archerblack)

-{{IP|68.205.26.246}} seems to think that it's acceptable to remove "including his own elder brother [[Karna]] unknowingly and his grandfather [[Bhishma]]" by stating "{{!xt|A spoiler of a story should not be revealed in the first three sentences of a character's wikipedia page. A person should be able to read the first 3 sentences of a character's wikipedia page, without such a significant part of the story being revealed}}" three times over without any actual valid policy-related rebuttal as to why this article should be an exception to [[WP:SPOILER]]. Normally, I'd re-revert the IP's disruptive edit, but that would mean ''I'' would be violating [[WP:3RR]], hence why I'm starting this discussion here. --[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]] ([[User talk:SHB2000|talk]]) 03:10, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
