In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
War is one of the contributing factors of a destructive Habitat, that is to be cured by following a righteous code of living, according to the Caraka Samhita Vimāna 3.20-24.—Caraka was probably a witness to wars, plunder, punitive taxation, famine, pestilence, mass evacuation of towns and places and the total collapse of civilized living. He traced these disasters to the greed, corruption and aggression of rulers and the progressive decline in the moral fibre of the entire society. The sovereign prophylaxis and remedy for the destruction of the habitat was the recovery of a righteous code of living. Anything less would fail to prevent ruin and extinction
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
India history and geography
Books on the knowledge of War were translated from Sanskrit and transmitted to Arab literature.—The foundations of Arabic literature and science were laid between 750-850 A.D. This was done chiefly with the aid of foreigners and with foreign material. The bulk of their narrative literature came to the Arabs in translation from Persian. Books on the science of war, the knowledge of weapons, the veterinary art, falconry, and the various methods of divination, and some books on medicine were translated from Sanskrit and Persian. They got the exact sciences from Greece and India.
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.
