I have checked carefully the tables of contents of P. K. Gode’s Studies in Indian Cultural History, vols. I and III, and find no articles on sesame or its oil. Unfortunately, my copy of vol. II has either been badly misshelved or lost in a basement flood. Allen

Gode's articles. For instance, some of the articles in vol. 1 of Studies in Indian Cultural History (see the ToC here https://archive.org/details/studiesinindianculturalhistorygodep.k.part1_544_D/page/n11/mode/2up?view=theater) deal with certain plants of the Subcontinent (only not with sesame). It might all well be a major misrecollection of mine, but if the article does exist, I am sure it is a Gode article.

Gode's articles collected in Studies in Indian Cultural History was devoted, at least in part, to the use of sesame (seeds or oil) in India. Unfortunately I can neither find it at the moment nor remember if the content was relevant to these two questions.

Related: is there any Indian word in any language for 'sesame' that resembles 'shumshum', 'simsim' or 'shamashammu'? Any information concerning these two questions would be most welcome.
