India history and geography
Puṟaṉ (“place”) is a name related to the historical geography and rulers of ancient Tamil Nadu, occuring in Sangam literature such as the Akanāṉūṟu and the Puṟanāṉūṟu.—Notes: Puṟam “exterior”, fleeing during the war, retreat (cf. VIS 470-71), puṟaṉ “place” (Puṟam. 29, 356), nānūṟu “four-hundred”.
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.
