याद रखने के लिए indigenous में 'India + generate' सुनिए: जो India में ही generate हो, वह India का indigenous है। सामान्य अर्थ — जिस जगह मिले, वहीं का मूल।

To remember it, hear 'India + generate' in INDIGENOUS: whatever is generated in India itself is indigenous to India. In general, indigenous means native to the place where it is found.
