India history and geography
Source: Project Gutenberg: Castes and Tribes of Southern India, Volume 1Semanda refers to a branch (khilai) of the sub-caste named Milaku (representing a tree or kothu: the Pepper vine) among the Maravans. The Maravan people represent a Dravidian tribe that claim descent from Guha or Kuha, Rama’s boatman, who rowed him across to Ceylon.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
