India history and geography
Source: Google Books: Introduction to the History of Indian BuddhismBahraich is possibly identified with Bhadraṃkara (Bhadrakara).—The present name of Bahraich is identified with an ancient district or city to the north of Awadh and to the east of the river Devha (Dvivāha); perhaps it is none other than Bhadraṃkara or Bhadrakara, of which Bahraich can well be a provincial alteration. Besides, the name Bhadrakara is already well-known in the geographical nomenclature of India; Wilford has extracted it from a list of names of people who belong to the Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa. The Bhadrakāras are included in it among the tribes inhabiting Madhyadeśa, or central India (Cf. Asiatic Researches, vol. 8, p. 336, Caclutta ed.).
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.
