I shall be thankful if Prajal could let us know on what basis he has reached the conclusions about dating Kunbis in Colamb, or tracing the chronology of pre-dravidians and dravidians in Goa, or attributing the gaunkaris to Kunbis / Velips.
Mere conjectures? What sort of gaunkaris were those at that time? What kind of cultivation? still of kumeri type? Could we have more details about the megalithic site of Pansalimal? How does it compare with megalithic sites elsewere in India or the contemporary world? TRS >Colamb is an ancient settlement of the Kunbis (Velips) who were >agriculturists.
