The word "orange" is also used for the color, but not for the fruit (which is "apelsin")
Doesn’t it seem plausible that “orange” rather comes from Latin aurantium based on the root aurum for gold? (Gold can appear orange-colored.)
"possibly derived from an even older Dravidian (another ancient language spoken in what is now southern India) root, naru, meaning fragrant. " The Dravidian language referred here is Tamil. The fruit in the citrus family is called Narthangai. The unripe fruit makes a sour delicious pickle. It's such a joy to hear a Tamil word used everyday around the globe.
the word for rice also comes from tamil arici and not from the chinese mi unexpectedly even the japanese use a form of the tamil word coupled with the chinese word uruchi mai leading to theories of dravidian japanese linkages or atleast contact and trade but the debate of whether the tamil word itself comes from sanskrit vrihi is not settled there is the possibility of agriculture spreading to north india from south…

> The Dravidian language referred here is Tamil. The "even older Dravidian [language]" referred to in the article is not exactly Tamil. The oldest written evidence we have for Old Tamil[1] dates to the 3rd century BC[2]. But we're told that this word is in Sanskrit's vocabulary, which was already developed well before then. (Some people date the Vedas to the 15th century BC.) That means it probably didn't come from T…
only westerners date vedas to 15 century BC to prop up the fantasy of europeans being aryans and support the aryan invasion theory indians date it quite securely via astronomical observations in the texts of dhruva the pole star to 3000 BC or 5kya dhruva was thuban or alpha draconis of draco or the indian constellation sisumara whale dolphin there were no pole stars from about 2300 BC to 1500 AD but the knowledge of…

personally dont care about peer review status since we know the reasons westerners reject this information has nothing to do with science but self interest
but you might be interested to know it was first proposed by a european named jacobi before europeans got the desire to be aryan leading to the world war and destruction

yes the site is anathema to indian marxists please argue on merits of the content of the article if you think there is something false please point to the specifics
Two Points regarding the article:- 1. Author says agriculture first started in Sri Lanka, and then uses that to say India was the country where agriculture started. Completely ignoring the fact that Sri Lanka is not in India.
2. Author says, "India cannot now be ruled out as the home of the grape, in which case, we would have a Neolithic-era spread of a crop from India to the FC and beyond."
His whole assertion is this paper [A], where all the paper authors say is that grape could have been present in India before the presently accepted timeline, they don't say anything about India being home of the grape or even if grape spread out from India. IndiaFacts did quite a reach there just for proving supremacy of India.
So yeah again, a better site for your ignorant BS. It is better to not bring your level of discourse to this site.
