This is such a shallow piece on Indian summer. I gave up reading after the part about doctor's dilemma. Summer strokes have been common in India for a long time. And the article doesn't even talk about the summer wind also known as Loo:

The dry summer wind is considered fatal by many and normally people have raw mango juice or Aam panna to ward it off.

I grew up in North India where my parents made me drink it after lunch every day during summers.

Nowadays I find that many people are not aware of this traditional recipe and they instead opt for stuff like drips etc as mentioned in the article.
