India history and geography
: Google Books: Medieval Orissa: A Socio-economic StudyArtisan in ancient India (Medieval Orissa) represented one of the occupational groups commonly found in Townships or Urban centers (nagari).鈥擜n example (of Township) is provided by the Nagari plates of Anangabhima III, dated A.D. 1230, which describe an assigned township which contained four large houses of the dimension of royal residences and thirty other houses. The occupational groups present in the settlement were [e.g., artisans (艣颈濒辫颈苍, 艣颈濒辫颈苍艒)]. The range of occupations is large, some of them being rural in character. The context in which the township (or Urban centres鈥�nagari) is assigned suggest that nagaris in such cases were perhaps extended villages, formed out of a cluster of several contiguous villages and thus assuming physical and consequently, economic dimensions much larger than those of an ordinary village settlement.
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.
