India history and geography
Uśīnaragiri (उशीनरगिरि) is the name of a mountain mentioned in the Kathāsaritsāgara that may correspond to the Uśīraka mountain of the Nīlmatapurāṇa.—Uśīradhvaja of the Vinaya texts, Uśīragiri of the Divyāvadāna, Uśīnara of the Pāli literature and Uśīnaragiri of the Kathāsaritsāgara which are regarded by B.G. Law as designations of one and the same mountain, may be identical with Uśīraka mentioned in the Nīlamata. Uśīraka, according to the Nīlamata (verse 966), is located in Dārva country and, therefore, may be identified with some hill of Siwalik range to the south of Kaśmīra.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
