India history and geography
Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)The word puro, prefixed to the official designation, may be the same as Sanskrit pura and the inspector may have been attached to the capital city ; but it may also be the same as Sanskrit puras suggesting that the officer in question was the chief of his class.
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.
