Same corridor. Same community. 4,300 years.

The people who moved that buffalo were the same community whose descendants supplied the Mughal army at 100,000 oxen per campaign.

One logistics institution. Fifteen centuries of documented evidence. One corridor.

The buffalo didn't migrate. It was transmitted.
