I didn't realize we had that many Indian words in English. But I object to Kashmir being on the list, as that was unarguably introduced to English by Zeppelin.I was bemused by this list of 70 words that came into English from India.

Some I had to look up having never heard or seen them even though they are in the one true dictionary, the OED, and thus sacred scripture.
