One more time for our friend Stuart Weinstein of the Pacific Tsunami
Warning Center:

It sprung the ridge in every reconstruction where India's NW province go
souther than Africa's horn, simply because the ridge goes through the
gulf of Aden, and when that ridge was closed then that part of India was
obviously norther than the gulf of Aden,

The ridge started to the South of India.

Not that simple. There was an initial ridge between India/Seychelles and
Madagascar that got extinct 60 My ago, because a new one developped
between India and Seychelles along the whole west coast of India.

As India moved to the North, the ridge propagated to the North and West,
and Aden didn't open up until India had docked with Asia.

Stuart, get focused please.
As the ridge is symetric, If you remove the isochrons in sequence you
can't put NW India below the current gulf of aden, because you meet the
old ethiopia-Madagascar basin there.
If you do put the whole India below Aden, then it means that you
virtually crossed the ridge and put India over the old basin which does
not make sense at all.
