India history and geography
: Shodhganga: New look on the kushan bengaliThe mounds at Bhita, situated 35 miles downstream from Kausambi on the bank of the Yamuna, represent the ruins of an ancient city which flourished during the Mauryan time to Gupta period. The excavations were conducted by Sir John Marshall (1909-1910 and 1911-12) at Bhita. The most important finds suggesting the Kushan occupation of this city are a number of seals and sealings inscribed in the Kushan character and the coins belonging to this dynasty. Some seals with scripts in the Kushan character were also found during the course of excavation.
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.
