So as like every other piece of comedy, this paper also assumes no one lived in India before 4000 BC, that too when India is the most liveable geography all human history?

Sunrise in Lanka means sunset in Siddhapura, midday in Yavakoti, and midnight in Romaka. - Brahmagupta, ~500 CE

If we follow this wisdom, sunset in India aligns with midday in Europe and midnight in parts of Russia to GMT.

It's astonishing that Brahmagupta grasped this centuries ago.

@yaduveerwadiyar ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದಾಯಿತು.

ನಮ್ಮ ಪರಂಪರೆಯಲ್ಲೂ ಸಹ ಪಾರಿವಾಳಕ್ಕೆ ಮನೆಯೊಳಗೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶ ಕೂಡದು.
ಒಳಗೆ ಅಕಸ್ಮಾತ್ತಾಗಿ ಬಂದು ಬಿಟ್ಟರೆ ಕಪೋತ ಸೂಕ್ತದಿಂದ ಪ್ರಾಯಶ್ಚಿತ್ತ ಮಾಡಬೇಕಿತ್ತಂತೆ.

I called for a ban on pigeon feeding near Mysuru Palace due to the health risks and damage to the palace's heritage architecture, as pigeon droppings accelerate its deterioration. Stronger measures are needed to protect this historic site.

The gorgeous flowers of ‘Gongura’ (ಪುಂಡಿ ಸೊಪ್ಪು).

Quite resilient to changes in climate and great for dry land farming.

Has culinary uses - can be used in place of tomato in some preparations.

The pickle you get from Andhra made from this is just exquisite.

The Javanese book of kings -- pustaka rAja pUrva has never been translated fully but a little snippet translated from the oldest manuscript talks of a cataclysmic event separating Java from Sumatra in the 338th year of the shaka calendar:
"There was a furious shaking of the earth, total darkness, thunder and lightning.
Then came forth a furious gale together with torrential rain, and a deadly storm darkened the world.
A great flood then came from Mount Batuwara and flowed eastwards to Mount Kamula.
When the waters subsided it could be seen that the island of Java had been split in two, thus creating the island of Sumatra."

There are some versions that are even more vivid, but people think these might have been "contaminated" by recent accounts of Krakatoa filtering into later manuscripts. Unfortunately, this issue remains unresolved. Of course, Java and Sumatra likely did not separate that recently but the record in the pustaka rAja pUrva might be an old memory of a volcanic cataclysm followed by a tsunami. It is reminiscent of the Javan explosion recorded in the Calcutta stone:
