India history and geography
Source: academia.edu: The Chronology of Ancient Gandhara and BactriaNahapana, the son of Bhumaka reigned around 620-585 BCE. Two inscriptions of Nahapana are probably dated in the year 41 (595 BCE) & 46 (589 BCE) of the Shalivahana era (636 BCE). Ushavadata or Rishabhadatta, the son of Dinika married Dakshamitra, the daughter of Nahapana. Saka Mahakshatrap Chashtana, a junior contemporary of Nahapana also founded his independent kingdom in Gujarat and invaded on Ujjain and Maharashtra. Thus, Chashtana founded a powerful Saka kingdom in western India and established an epoch in 583 BCE that came to be known as the Saka era.
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.
