Romesh Chunder Dutt. 
Dutt is considered a national leader of the pre-Gandhian era. More about him here : 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romesh_Chunder_Dutt.
So, much much more reputable Indian person than Romina, not even comparable to her, since he is a kind of a national hero in India. 


Of course, everyone can believe in anything, some people still believe the Earth is flat.

You can't never say that a person is more reputable than other, she is an expert and she provided her studies which are used by several experts in the world. Different times, different studies, somethimes old studies can be correct by modern ones, that is how all sciences works. Also, there are several translations of those books before Romesh done his one and several versions of the same history by the way. Finally, you are showing a lack of respect to experts here, specially for a person that is not an expert in Indian litterature.

Also, you are right, there is still people out there that believe that Earth is flat, just like other people that still believe that the "lion vs tiger" debate is important and that a poetic phrase is evidence of real natural behaviour. Reply
