Introduction to Research
-10 m may go back in time to 30000 years. The core from Mansarovar will be useful for studies of local and global climate, the Himalayan erosion, cultural, social, archaeological and even geological aspects (geomagnetism, biological changes etc.). In parallel to this task discovering the Mt. Ashtapad using radio waveband technique should also be undertaken. Acknowledgements Author expresses sincere thanks to Ashtapad Research International Foundation (ARIF) and Jain Center of America, New York for involving him in the research team and for providing research material on the subject. He is grateful to Dr. Rajnikant Shah, USA, person in-charge of the Project, Dr. Jitendra Shah, Director, L. D. Institute of Indology, Ahmedabad, Prof. Narendra Bhandari and Dr. Navin Juyal of Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, and Dr. P.S. Thakker of SAC/Indian Space Research Organisation, Ahmedabad for several useful discussions.
