The same is true of Sind and Saurashtra. Both have given some data for the existence of Middle Palaeolithic Cultures; so unless Saurashtra was non-existent in Early Palaeolithic times, being under the sea, there is no reason for the non-occurrence of hand-axes there.145a For if it was there, whether as an island or as a peninsula, then it lay between Africa and India. Since the former is likely to have influenced the latter during the Early and Later Stone Ages, Saurashtra should provide some valuable evidence, because of its geographical position. Systematic exploration should provide an answer.
