So the evidence is overwhelming that lions are in fact indigneous to India.


 

This is far from "overwhelming"
These two links offer up no real evidence to say Valmik is wrong. No references, no links, the fossil excuse is anything but reliable. Especially because it is based off of two fossils fragments that can easily be confused with other animals, if I am  not mistaken. The link that is not a good reference to use and offers up nothing in terms of evidence or fact. So far, Thapars book is far more convincing with its evidence and theories.

 

Not really, it's more a case of lions having been historically known in India and the evidence clearly supporting that. Then Valmik Thapar comes along and attempts to (for whatever reason) say that they're not but because his arguments are so weak, fails quite badly at that.
