A couple of years ago I spent a month trying to figure out India's
generational history. The problem is that India is so big that it has
multiple timelines and multiple crisis wars, so it's total chaos to
figure out. Incidentally, it was something of a lucky break that I
figured out that the 1857 rebellion was a really big deal. It's
apparently a verboten topic among Hindus since they lost. So getting
a complete generational picture of India is a huge task. Good luck!
