India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Rajatarangini (Ranjit Sitaram Pandit) (history)Deluge (pralaya) refers to the process of dissolution [at the end of the kalpa] to which Kalhana alludes to.—M. Grousset says : “Perhaps the old Indian tradition of the kalpa does indeed correspond to the hidden nature of things. Periodically, humanity, after an infinite number of gropings, creates itself, realizes the purposes of its existence in one brief and rare moment of success, then destroys itself, loses itself once more, in an all-too-slow process of dissolution”.
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.
