India history and geography
Foresters (living in the wilderness) (of ancient India) were vividly depicted in the Kathās (narrative poems) such as Uddyotanasūri in his 8th-century Kuvalayamālā (a Prakrit Campū, similar to Kāvya poetry).—Page 128.17-8: There is a reference to a Śabara and his wife who knew, the desi-bhāsā, probably a reference to the dialect of the Śabaras. There is also a reference to patra-śabaras or parṇa-śabaras who were foresters living in much greater wilderness.
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.
