India history and geography
Source: academia.edu: The Yona or Yavana Kings of the time of the Legendary King AshokaSesostris the Egyptian.—Arrian states in his work “The Anabasis of Alexander” that “Neither do the Indians wage war with any other men, nor any other men with them; and that Sesostris the Egyptian, having subdued most part of Asia, and having marched with his army as far as Europe, returned back home without attacking India”. Herodotus (1144-1085 BCE) tells us that Egyptian King Sesostris reigned ~900 years before him. Therefore, we can fix the date of Sesostris around 1980-1925 BCE. Idanthyrsus, the Scythian rose meteorically and ruled over Asia for 28 years around 1295-1267 BCE. Medes King Cyaxares has ultimately driven him out in 1267 BCE.
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.
