This map is incorrect. It does not show the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir which is an integral part of India. 182.59.73.70 18:46, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect map of a historical kingdom and the existing sources don't support the boundary depicted here. Areas which were parts of other kingdoms (like Pala empire) during this time have been depicted as part of Kamrup kingdom in this map. There is a link given (which doesn't look reliable at all) even doesn't support the map.) Za-ari-masen (talk) 10:46, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Speedy keep: This is the traditional boundary of Kamarupa as produced from an authoritative text, and reproduced in a PhD thesis. The map has been geo-referenced. The claim that the existing sources do not support this map is false. The boundaries have fluctuated considerably during the historical period and the claim of the Pala Empire is not relevant here.

 Keep: This file is in use on Wikipedia articles from as:অসমৰ ইতিহাস to ta:அசாம் வரலாறு, and on Kamarupa (Q1194765). Under COM:NPOV, used files are not eligible for deletion just because they're inaccurate. If this file is accurate enough for twelve Wikipedias, it's accurate enough for Commons. --bjh21 (talk) 11:07, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
