India history and geography
Source: academia.edu: Minor Chiefs and "Hero" in Ancient TamilakamNampi (“having desired”) is a name related to the historical geography and rulers of ancient Tamil Nadu, occuring in Sangam literature such as the Akanāṉūṟu and the Puṟanāṉūṟu.—Notes: (VIS 373), Pāṇḍyan name suffix, cf. the presiding God of divyadeśa-Kuṟuṅkuṭi (Rajarajan et al. 2017a: 907). Periyāḻvār makes fun of the name, ‘nampi-pimpi’ (Tirumoḻi 4.6.8).
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.
