In his article, Prof. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis basically analyzed an excerpt of the text Periplus of the Erythraean (Red) Sea on Socotra. On this occasion, he expanded on the Yemenite prevalence across what is rather mistakenly called today the "Indian Ocean"; in this regard, Prof. Megalommatis brings forth historical evidence , which clearly demonstrates that the correct term for the Southern Seas is the …. "Yemenite Ocean".

About the Hanuman Chalisa:
The Hanuman Chalisa (literally forty chaupais on Hanuman) is a Hindu devotional hymn (stotra) addressed to Hanuman. It is traditionally believed to have been authored by 16th-century poet Tulsidas in the Awadhi language, and is his best known text apart from the Ramcharitmanas. The word "chālīsā" is derived from "chālīs", which means the number forty in Hindi, as the Hanuman Chalisa has 40 verses (excluding the couplets at the beginning and at the end).
