Agrawala has pointed out, the term was used in ancient Indian literature for the mountain passes over which the swans from India flew to Tibet (Lipulekh) and to Central Asia (Hunza).
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.
