India history and geography
Source: Shodhganga: The society and politics in South Kanara 1500 AD to 1800 ADPotla refers to a classification of cultivated land according to inscriptions from South Canara (modern Dakshina Kannada).—Sturrock defines potla as “a wet land submerged during the heavy rains of the early months of monsoon and therefore growing only one crop annually”. Buchanan too had earlier expressed the same view: “These kinds of land called potla or mojaru are situated in deep places near the banks of rivers and are much overflowed by the tide at high water”.
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.
