I'd say it is misleading rather than disappointing. The word is not capitalized in the Wikipedia article and titlecase is not a requirement here either.
It's not a requirement but it is the common convention.
Wikipedia has stricter style guidelines that go against that convention but in the absence of such a style guide on HN, one can see why common convention would typically be followed.
Agree in general though; I don't know why this convention exists and suspect we may be better off without it.
I was imagining that it was going to be some tribe of Māori people that spoke Polish because of Polish explorers having been there some hundred years ago.
I am disappointed that most people in the West have never heard about the Mauryan empire (which is at least as much of a factor in you having misread the title).
Fun fact: George Lucas named Ahsoka Tano after the most famous emperor of Maurya Empire: Ashoka.
This historical character is fascinating to me especially, as someone who lives on the banks of river Daya where Ashoka fought his bloodiest war: the Kalinga war.
Ashoka blamed himself as the cause for destruction. In repentance, Ashoka decided to devote the rest of his life to Ahimsa and converted to Buddhism.
The title is titlecased automatically, but when I edit the title manually my own capitalization sticks. Not sure who can edit and if this works for everyone.
And generally "of" unless it's the last word. There are a few other rules depending on the authority used. It's unclear to me whether a post title is a title to CMOS and I don't have a recent enough copy that would include such digital categories.
I'd say so since 8.156 in the 17th edition explicitly mentions websites: "The following guidelines apply primarily to titles as they are mentioned or cited in text or notes. They apply to titles of books, journals, newspapers, and websites . . ." And 8.191 elaborates further: " Titles of websites mentioned or cited in text or notes are normally set in roman, headline-style . . ." Basically, there are some differences regarding italics/quotation marks but headline style seems to apply to all kinds of titles of digital resources.
The modern Indian state takes a lot of its iconography from the Mauryan empire, most prominently the Lion Capital of Sarnath (image is in the article). It's super interesting to hear about this technique which was instrumental in producing these capitals.
The Mouryan Empire was the first pan-Indian empire. It was one the most powerful empires of the world at that time.
The first Emperor Chandragupta was guided by a scholar called Chanakya. He wrote one of earliest book on Polity in the world. He was Machiavellian (he predates Machiavelli) and always promoted realpolitik. The book is called Artha Shastra and you can read it in English.
One of the curious things I found is that sex work was legalized and regulated by state. Sex workers paid taxes to the state. This is something some Europeans and Americans debate to this day.
Chandragupta's grandson, Ashoka is one of the Great Emperors of the world. He was the earliest ruler of a welfare state. He put an end to discriminatory penal practices favoring Brahmins, the priest class. He made shelters and planted trees. And declared he cared about each and every subject of his Empire. He send envoys to different countries of SE Asia to spread Buddhism, and he took up monkhood in the last stage of his life and died.
Indians forgot about his legacy and the whole Empire. It is through his pillars spread across ahuge landmass, that the scholarly Orientalist William Jones came to know about this Empires.
Indians were thought to have always divided into very small kingdoms before the Mughal, but this proved on the contrary. And the British, at least a few of them began to have a respect for the Indians.
(Seriously, The Rule That Every Word In A Title Has To Be Capitalised Is Silly.)
