Hi Kaushik

Thanks for jogging my memory over this Entry. It's in my sub-ed queue, so hopefully I'll be working on it as soon as I can and will be in touch if there is anything I'd need to clarify with you.

Hi Bobstafford

No, unfortunately I have not visited any of the places mentioned in the entry. However, I might be bale to provide some photos of Eastern and Central rural India. Could you please let me know the procedure?

Thanks Lanzababy

Your Title uses the term middle ages which to some readers mean the same time as medieval Europe. The period between the 5th and 15th centuries

Your great scholars eg Baudhayana started work 570 years before the
Simuka era, (230 BC). The Indian "Middle" period lasts for some 1,250 AD. years, and ends in the 13th century
followed by the Indian Medieval period 1206–1596 AD.

Perhaps a note as some could mistake this for the same time period in Europe fact that his the Roman Empire did not start until after Baudhayana, the Vedic priest who you have dated around 800 BC (The Battle of Thermopylae was 320 years later in 480 BC)
A small Roman Kingdom was established in 753 BC. In 509 BC Roman Republic was founded and lasted until 27 BC. Finally Roman Empire 27 BC to AD 476. it was during the Empire period the Simuka era started

Put against European history the achievements of these scholars is even more awesome and impressive, and more than rival the best of the Greeks and Arab scholars such as Al-Farabi.

I hope this makes sense good work

Thanks bobstafford

As per the Government of India website, mentioned below, Medieval history in India started from 8th century AD.

As per Wikipedia it's 7th to 18th century CE.

Now that the Entry is already with the sub-ed is there any way I can add this note in it?

Hello, as Lanzababy above has said that she'll be the sub-ed working on it as soon as she can and will be in touch if there's anything that needs clarifying, I'm sure this will be picked up on. I'll add a little reminding note too, just in case.

Thanks Bluebottle

Wish you all Merry Christmas
