India history and geography
Source: Piotr Balcerowicz: Royal Patronage of JainismMaski (मस्कि) refers to an archaeologically important site where was found one of Aśoka’s inscriptions (minor rock edicts).—Accordingly, “[...] in the Survarṇagiri–Hampī region of the central Deccan (known sometimes as the Siddāpur neighbourhood), we find a rather unusual accumulation of Aśoka’s inscriptions on a relatively small territory within the radius of approx. 100 kilometres. [...] Their accumulation in the region is a clear sign of its strategic importance. Aśoka’s minor rock edicts are found at [viz., Maski (15°57´ N, 76°39´ E), discovered 1915] [...]”.
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.
