Maize (corn) is not of Indian origin. It originated in Mexico and was later introduced to other parts of the world, including India. Maize was domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mexico around 10,000 years ago.

Sugarcane, Rice, and Mango are all crops that are native to the Indian subcontinent:

  • Sugarcane: Originated in South Asia, particularly in India and Southeast Asia.
  • Rice: The domestication of rice has ancient roots in India and Southeast Asia.
  • Mango: The mango tree is native to the Indian subcontinent, especially India, where it has been cultivated for over 4,000 years.
