    >> #Bulgarian #Roma and #Rajasthani #Marwari run through all the words they have in common, because gypsies emigrated from #India

    Aside from numbers and some common words, I was surprised by the similarities in #French and #Hindi in a wide variety of unrelated words like:

    youth = jeunesse = जवानी
    dead = morte = मृत्
    because = car = कारण
    glow = lueur = लौ
    given = donne = दान
    thus/thereby = ainsi = ऐसे/ऐसी
    people = gens = जन

    and many more

  2. A lively study of an unruly elephant by a c1720-30 CE #Kota, #Rajasthan artist who has skillfully captured the energy, movement & the playful power of a rambunctious young #Elephant.

    From the Edith & Cary Welch collection sold by Sotheby's on Oct 25.

    This distinctive style is typical of 17-18th century artists of the Kota atelier.
