India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Nilamata Purana: a cultural and literary study (history)Kathāvid (कथाविद्) is an epithet ascribed to Brāhmaṇas in the Nīlamatapurāṇa.—In the Gupta inscriptions also we find mention of Kathāvids, and Bāṇa in his Harṣacarita refers to the reading of the Vāyu Purāṇa in his village. This practice may have been popular in Kaśmīra also in circa 6th century A.D. i.e. sometime before the date of the Nīlamata.
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.
