India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Rajatarangini (Ranjit Sitaram Pandit) (history)Monogamy in Kashmir during and after Kalhana’s time.—Kalhana’s views on the relationship between the sexes are not the least interesting part of his book. [...] Kalhana, when he wrote his poem, must have been in the half-way house of life with wide experience of men and women. His references to monogamy show his admiration of the ancient Aryan and Brahmanical ideal which the people of India, barring the ruling princes, have recognized since the age of the hero of the Ramayana.
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.
