Sources
- Indian Hemp Drugs Commission, vol. I, ch. VIII, paras. 421–422, pp. 156–157, is cited from the page images of the Wellcome copy (archive.org b32222920_0001). The OCR text reads the word as "thaudai".
- The Berar memorandum (vol. III, p. 107) is cited from the page image. Its spice names (sonph, miri, badam, khaskhas) are given as printed, without glosses.
- Hasan (1975), pp. 240–241, is cited from the text of the chapter in Cannabis and Culture.
- Chopra and Chopra (1957) is cited from the UNODC web edition, which carries no page numbers.
Is it cannabis?
- Each cited source puts bhang in the drink: the commission lists thandai as a name of the bhang drink, the Berar memorandum calls it "bhang or thandai", and Hasan adds the bhang to the milk.
- The word also names a spiced milk drink made without bhang. The article describes only the bhang drink the sources record.
Kind and plant part
- Drink. Leaf and flower: the Berar memorandum uses "bhang—or the flowers and leaves" that dropped from the plants.
- Still made: not known from the sources cited. Hasan's account was published in 1975.
Not used
- An unsourced sentence elsewhere on the wiki about thandai at Holi in Bengal is not used.
- Khan, Abbas and Jensen (1975) describe the Pakistani bhang drink but do not call it thandai; they are cited on Bhang, not here.
