India may have faced a much stronger monsoon than earlier believed. Scientists have found evidence of intense rainfall, rain, forests, and climate change roughly between 1,060 and 1,725 CE in central India hidden in the Raja Rani Lake of Korba district of Chhattisgarh. Understanding the vegetation dynamics and corresponding hydro-climate variability from the Core Monsoon Zone (CMZ), wherein the rainfall is essentially controlled by the ISM which contributes to 89 to 90 percent of India’s rainfall, could be crucial in understanding the monsoonal variability during the Late Holocene (Meghalayan Age) particularly as the CMZ is sensitive to ISM fluctuations.…
