India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Nilamata Purana: a cultural and literary study (history)Juhuṇḍara (जुहुण्डर) is the name of a tribe mentioned as inhabiting the region around ancient Kaśmīra (Kashmir valley) according to the Nīlamatapurāṇa.—The Juhuṇḍaras seem to be the same as the Juhuḍas of the Vāyu Purāṇa, the Jaguḍas of the Matsya Purāṇa, the Jāhutas of the Viṣṇudharmottara Purāṇa and Jāguḍas of the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa and the Mahābhārata. They are mentioned along with some tribes living to the north-west of India, namely, the Lampākas (inhabitants of Laghman), the Śūlikas (the Sogdians), the Avagānas (Afghanas) and the Gāndhāras. Jāguḍa is identified with South Afghanistan with its capital at Ghazni.
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.
