Dr. Sharada,
Most of on this forum are here to understand diff cultures and share views on a myriad of topics ranging from religion & culture to our origins. But I must also let you know that there are many on this forum who may use unparliamentary language as some facts may not support their indoctrination or ideology. Please ignore such write-ups and let the ones really interested in learning continue with their learning. Please let us know abt your research and what conclusions you hv derived from your studies regarding SI kingdoms. We would be delighted to have someone like you share your knowledge with us.
Thanks much.
