India history and geography
Source: Wisdom Library: NepalGurung possibly corresponds to the Sanskrit Gurgaṇa according to F.E. Pargiter’s translation of the Markandeya Purana (geography of Bharata).—“[The Gurungs] are an important tribe of Tatar race, who dwell now throughout Nepal, but whose territory was formerly the country about Lamzung, Ghandrung and Siklis, west of the great valley of Nepal (Journal, Bengal Asiatic Society, Vol. LXIII. Part I. 213, 217 and 223—229; Risley’s Castes and Tribes of Bengal, I. 304)”.
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.
