A catalog of about 90 tsunamis in the Indian Ocean has been prepared. The list of tsunamis are dated from 326 Before Common Era to Dec. 26, 2004. The tsunami of 326 BCE occurred in Indus delta/Kutch region; and the tsunami of about 500 Common Era occurred in Poompuhar, Tamilnadu, probably due to Krakatau eruption. A third tsunami is dated to 900 Common Era at Nagapattinam, Tamilnadu, maybe from Sunda-Andaman arc. http://www.sthjournal.org/253/rastogi.pdf [BK Rastogi and RK Jaiswal, 2006, National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad, Science of Tsunami Hazards, Vol. 25, No. 3, pages 128-143 (2006)].
