India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Tribes in Ancient IndiaAgrammes or Xandrammes has been usually identified with Mahāpadma Nanda who was king of both Prasii and Gangaridae. Mahāpadma was supplanted by Candragupta Maurya who is referred to by Greek writers as having been king of Prasii but nowhere is he mentioned as king of Gangaridae as well. The well-known Kaliṅga expedition of Aśoka was, perhaps, directed against a probable Kaliṅgae-Gangaridae combination of forces, suggested by an alternative reading of Pliny referred to above. In any case, the Kaliṅga resistance must have been a very stiff one, as is evident from the description the thirteenth Rock Edict.
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.
