India history and geography
Source: Piotr Balcerowicz: Royal Patronage of JainismNiṭṭūr (निट्टूर्) 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., Niṭṭūr (15°33´ N, 76°50´ E), discovered 1977] [...]”.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
