If Light weight wood then it kinda looks like Cyprus if heavy dense wood then possibly Quebracho.
A close up of the end grain would help and if it is heavy or light weight.

If it's heavy/dense it looks a lot like a few planks of lychee I have.

Wikipedia claims there are over 150 species of trees used for timber in India:  Link.

Which is it?  I haven't a clue.

No way.

It could be anything....if it HAS to come from india, Teak might be a fit. It looks a lot like Monkey Pod, but AFAIK that doesnt grown in India at all.....

Does it have a fragrance of any kind? Also what about hardness and density? That does have a grain structure I've seen but it seems it had a fragrance. Might want to sand it or scrape it to find out.

 What do you think?

Well this "identify this wood" string that comes along regularly has some entertainment value but I don't think Woodnet's success rate even for domestic woods is much above zero.  If you want to know, send a sample to the Forest Products Laboratory wood identifiers and then you will know.  Ken
