India history and geography
Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXIX (1951-1952)Śulkī (शुल्की) is the name of a royal family possibly identified with the Eastern Chālukya dynasty according to Chakravarti.—Unfortunately the facsimiles of the inscriptions were not published along with Chakravarti’s paper and it was impossible for scholars to verify the correctness of his transcripts and interpretations of the two Puri plates of Kulastambha. But his identification of the Śulkī family with the Eastern Chālukya dynasty and of Kulastambha with Guṇaka-Vijayāditya III or Kulottuṅga I has generally been discarded. [...]
The Śulkīs owed allegiance to the Bhauma-Karas and that the Talcher plate of Raṇastambha (grandfather of the issuer of the Hindol plate and of the present charter as well) is dated in the year 103 of the Bhauma-Kara era. But relying on the suggested identification of the era of the Bhauma-Karas with the Harsha era, an earlier date was then assigned to Raṇastambha and his grandson. It has, however, been shown recently that the beginning of the Bhauma-Kara era falls somewhere about the middle of the first half of the ninth century A.C.
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.
