Rice Inde

 I think you mean “When was rice first cultivated in India” (not “ultimates”). If that’s correct, here’s the answer:

When rice was first cultivated in India

• Around 7000–6000 BCE: Archaeological evidence suggests rice cultivation began in the Indus Valley and the middle Ganges region.
• Some of the earliest sites include:
  
• Lahuradewa (Uttar Pradesh) – evidence of domesticated rice as early as ~7000 BCE
• Indus Valley Civilization sites (Harappa region) – rice used by ~3000 BCE
• 
  

Important context

• Rice in India likely developed both independently and through interaction with rice-growing regions of China.
• India is considered a major center for indica rice domestication, distinct from the japonica rice first domesticated in China.
• By the time of the Indus Valley Civilization (2600–1900 BCE), rice was already an established crop in many parts of the subcontinent.

Short answer

👉 Rice was first cultivated in India roughly 7,000–9,000 years ago, making it one of the world’s oldest rice-growing regions.

If you meant something different by “ultimates,” feel free to clarify and I’ll adjust the answer.
