Merge Mysore Kingdom with Mysore Princely State

Similar to the Cooch Behar discussion we should merge 

Catalog › India › Indian Local and Princely states › Mysore, Princely state of
 

and

Numista › Catalog › India › Indian states › Mysore, Kingdom of

I don't agree with doing that.

Why?

The logic we use in "modern" European issuers is to keep changes in rulers, forms of government, etc. over time all in the same issuer/sub-issuer, and to use the Ruler Group/Ruler feature to distinguish these eras/changes.  

Why not the same in India if it makes sense (and maybe sometimes it does not make sense)?

Krause lists independent kingdoms' & Indian Princely States' coins in separate sections.

Krause is just one catalog of many. To follow only their logic is foolish

I think all catalogers grapple with these dilemmas, and there is not a “right” or “wrong,” just a series of choices about the best way to be consistent in the context of each catalog's structure.
