India history and geography
Source: Shodhganga: Kakati Ganapatideva and his timesPañcatantram is one of those works written during or after the rule of the Kākatīya dynasty (A.D. 1163-1323).— Several works on Nīti were rendered into Telugu but they are now only available in compendiums in fragments. They are the Kāmandakam. Pañcatantram (authors of these two works are not known), Āndhra Bhoja’s Nītibhūṣaṇam, Vidyābhūṣaṇam, Śivadevayya’s Puruṣārdhasāram, and Lakkabhaṭṭu’s Mudrāmātyam All these works were produced between eleventh and fourteenth centuries.
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.
