India history and geography
Source: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography (history)Vikrampur (विक्रम्पुर्) is the name of an ancient city.—In this Vaṅga-Samataṭa region one of the most important places is the Pargaṇā Vikrampur in the Dacca district. Anyone acquainted with the ancient inscriptions of Bengal will be able to appreciate the importance of Vikrampur which is sometimes mentioned as the seat from which imperial charters were issued. There was a great Buddhist monastery here in the reign of the Candras and the Senas. Atiśa Dīpaṅkara, famous in Tibetan history as a great scholar and master of Tantric lore, is said to belong to the royal family of Vikrampur. Vikrampur is recognized even today as one of the foremost places of culture in East Bengal.

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.
