1. In the context of below thread, it is appropriate to debunk another of 5561BC claims. Since Sri Krishna's travel to Hastinapura in Sharad Rutu cannot be accepted, Team 5561BC claims it was the war that actually took place in Sharad Rutu (& travel in Varsha Rutu) https://twitter.com/pranasutra/status/1303621582258987008

2. First problem with this claim is that it goes explicitly against the actual text of the Mahabharata (in all its recensions). So there is no basis for this claim. Yet, a basis has been invented.

3. The claim is that in the war related Parvas, there are 27 'upamanas' or metaphors that mention Sharad Rutu. Since Sharad Rutu has been used so frequently, the claim is that it is a technique by Sri Vyasa to indirectly point at war happening in Sharad. One small problem though

4. A small amount of study into the war Parvas revealed the following:

- Greeshma Rutu has been mentioned 49 times!
- Vasanta Rutu has been mentioned 15 times!
- Varsha Rutu has been mentioned 13 times!
- Shishir Rutu has been mentioned 9 times!

5. So ideally the theory of using mentions of Rutu in the war Parvas must be thrown out of the window. But if you still insist, then democratically Greeshma would be the winner and not Sharad :-)
