[edit] When became dry land?
Gujarat says: "The Rann of Kutchch covers a large portion of western Gujarat .... Only 500 years earlier, the area was the Arabian Sea."
Rann of Kutch says: "The area was a vast shallows of the Arabian Sea until continuing geological uplift closed off the connection with the sea, creating a vast lake that was still navigable during the time of Alexander the Great." (Alexander the Great 356 BC - 323 BC).
