An old book in Dundlod Fort based on the 4000 year old ''Shalihotra Samhita". The Shalihotra Samhita is a large treatise on the care and management of horses with some 12,000 shlokas in Sanskrit. It is the principal work of Shalihotra (c. 2350 BCE) who was the son of a Brahmin sage.

2350 BCE is unrealistic...
Iam sure some of the things written then are still relavent today!!
I don't think there is any evidence that horses were present in India before 1500 BCE. I am also sceptical of any claim that a horse care manual was authored by a brahmin. It is traditional to attribute authorship of any text to a brahmin sage while claiming to be a scribe.
>> I don't think there is any evidence This is not a matter of thinking one way or the other :-P >> I am also sceptical of any claim that a horse care manual was authored by a brahmin Also because you think so?
Thank you Gabriela Avendano
