India history and geography
Western India comprised Sindh and Western Rajasthan, with Kachh and Gujarat, and a portion of the adjoining coast on the lower course of the Narbada river.
According to Xuanzang (Hwen Thsang), in Western India the provinces were divided between the kings of Sindh, Balabhi, and Gurjjara.
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.
