India history and geography

P. G. Bagchi has suggested their association with “the Donki or the Tunguse� and Moti Candra opines that they occupied the Kashgar area in Central Asia. Anyway, they lived in the neighbourhood of Kaśmīra. It is stated in the Āvaśyakacūrṇ� that the Maleccha Taṅkṇas of Uttarāpatha exchange with gold, ivory etc. the commodities of Dakṣiṇāpatha and being unable to understand the language of the buyers, they cover the heap of their goods with their hands which they do not remove till their demand is fulfilled.
: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Ṭaṅgṇ� or Ṭaṅgṇāpura is the name of a locality as mentioned in the “Plate of Padmaṭadeva� (tenth century A.D.). Ṭaṅgṇāpura seems to be the district round modern Joshīmaṭh and Drumatī a region not far from it. Ṭaṅgṇāpura is mentioned along with another vishaya called Antaraṅga in the inscription of Padmaṭa’s son Subhiksharāja. In The Himalayam Districts of the North-Western Provinces of India, Vol. II p. 357, Atkinson suggested that district of Ṭaṅgṇāpura lay about the upper course of the Ganges and that of Antaraṅga in the Doab between the Bhāgīrathī and the Alaknandā. The people of this region may be identical with the ղṅgԲs or ṬaṅgԲs of early Indian literature.
This inscribed copper plate (mentioning Ṭaṅgṇ�) is preserved in the temple of Yogabadarī (one of the Pañcabadarī) at Pāṇḍukeśvar (Pāṇḍukeśvara). The date corresponds to some day in the 25th regnal year of king Padmaṭadeva (first half of the tenth century A.D.). It records the grant of several pieces of land situated in Drumatī which formed a part of the Ṭaṅgṇāpura-viṣaya as well as in Yośi.

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.
