India history and geography
: Ancient Buddhist Texts: Geography of Early BuddhismArakata (啶呧ぐ啶曕い) or Araka岣纺� or Arakatapura is the name of a locality situated in Dakkhi峁嚹乸atha (Deccan) or 鈥渟outhern district鈥� of ancient India, as recorded in the P膩li Buddhist texts (detailing the geography of ancient India as it was known in to Early Buddhism).鈥擣rom the H膩thigumpha inscription it is clear that King Kh膩ravela conquered Arakatapura inhabited by a race of magicians called Vidy膩dharas. Arakata or Araka岣纺� is the same kind of geographical name as Paraka峁璦, Bhojaka峁璦, etc. Phonetically it is the same name as modern Arcot. Prof. D. R. Bhandarkar is of opinion that the Sora of Ptolemy 鈥檆an easily be recognised to be the Tamil Sora or Choda鈥�.
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.
