India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Rajatarangini (Ranjit Sitaram Pandit) (history)Aryans in India, like the Greeks and the Romans, were not interested in demolishing the gods and religious beliefs of other people. Tolerance was tne characteristic feature of religions of Indian origin; we have Kalhana’s evidence which is fully corroborated by the independent testimony of Chinese scholars and pilgrims who visited India from the fourth to the eleventh century.
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.
