The people largely comprising the last racial element could be responsible for the introduction of the practice of megalithic erections \[see 4.17\]. - [Previous: v1.c9.s17.97](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.97) - [Next: v1.c9.s17.99](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.99) - [Up: v1.c9.s17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17) ## Cites (1) - [Maski](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.maski) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.98](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.98) · Pramāṇa
