India history and geography
Source: Google Books: The Kilaya Nirvana Tantra and the Vajra Wrath Tantra (history)The Indians were perceived by the ancient Tibetans as their revered role models, especially with regard to Tantric texts.—In studying the production of esoteric Buddhist Tantric texts in the early years of post-imperial Tibet, roughly between the start of the ninth century and the end of the tenth century, we are quite possibly also gaining at least a few useful insights into the way in which Buddhist Tantric texts were produced in India. It would not be surprising if the Indian pre-history of the famous Sanskritic Tantras of the gSar ma pa period turned out to share at least some similar features with the origins of the Tibetan-composed rNying ma pa Tantras. The two traditions were after all contemporaneous, and the Tibetans clearly took the Indians as their revered role models in every respect. But while the Indian historical record is comparatively thin, much more evidence survives in Tibet.
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.
