India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Rajatarangini (Ranjit Sitaram Pandit) (history)History of Europe.—A study of that record proves that the history taught today in schools and universities in Europe may be reliable in detail, but as a whole has been quite misleading. The origins of European culture are traced back, on the one hand, to the Greeks and the Romans who are said to have gradually built up a complete civilization with a highly developed literature, art and law from rude beginnings; on the other, to the Jews who, it is said, evolved most of the religious and ethical ideas which pre-dominate in Europe to-day. The truth is rather different. The curtain rises at Ur and other cities of the land called Sumer in Southern Mesopotamia about 3500 B.C. and reveals a fully developed civilization. 4500 years ago Southern Mesopotamia was a great deal more civilized than is half the world to-day. There was also a civilizationin the valley of the Indus of which so far we know little as the writing on clay tablets has not yet been deciphered. The civilizations of ancient India and that of Mesopotamia had perhaps a common origin and in any case they must have been in contact.
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.
