India history and geography
Source: Google Books: The Idea of Ancient IndiaŚvetapatha (श्वेतपथ).—One is tempted to suggest an identification of Śvetapatha with the Śvetapāda of the Kalyan plates of Yasovarman; a place which corresponds with the area around Nasik, and where one could visualise Yavanas visiting or residing in this period for trade purposes. But the inscription in question is very late (11th century), and the time-gap between the Sanchi references and this inscription is too great for the identification to be pressed.
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.
