Hello Missing Ace,

It is hard one to collect information available in foreign languages and you can only rely on the words of the subject matter experts. This is what I wrote to User: Nambiar who had some questions.

Hello Nambiar,

I do not know how I got involved in this. Nadavara is exclusively one-person article. The historian who wrote the article (edited by me) is in the process of publishing a book on Nadavara in Kanad. She does not like to be questioned as it may reflect on her book in progress. I will talk to the historian who lives in India. Actually, I may visit the historian to collect her thoughts on Mughals, on my next trip to Goa, India. Please bear with me. We will try to do the right thing. Thank you.

Sikanjal.
