The above disclosures from Bhuridatta Jataka completely changed Dr Grierson's views on the Kambojas. Thence-afterwards, he started considering the Kambojas an undoubted tribe of the Iranians.
Dr Grierson re-wrote: "This gatha, by itself, establishes a close connections between the ancient Kambojas and th ...

Aggarwala: "As shown in the Jataka and Avestic literature, the Kamboja was a center of ancient Iranian civilization as is evidenced by the peculiar customs of the country " (The Kamboja Janapada, Jan 1964, Purana, Vol VI, No 1, p 229; Jataka edited by Fausboll, Vol VI, p 210 ).

| | | | | | | Indian language: Encyclopedia II - Cheyenne - 19th Century/Indian Wars In 1851, the first Cheyenne 'territory' was established in northern Colorado. The Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851 granted this territory. Today this former territory includes the cities of Fort Collins, Denver and Colorado Springs. Not long after 1851, the Cheyenne had lost this land due to the influx of settlers due to the gold rush.
In the Indian Wars, the Cheyenne were the victims of the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864, in which the Colorado Militia killed 600 Cheyenne. In the early morning on November 27, 1868 the Battle of Washita River ...

| | | | | Indian language: Encyclopedia II - Punjabi - Vocabulary Modern Punjabi vocabulary has been influenced by other languages, including Hindustani, Persian and English. Like other North Indian languages, it is derived from Sanskrit and is therefore Indo-European.
Much like English, Punjabi has moved around the world and developed local forms by integrating local vocabulary. While most loanwords come from Hindustani, Persian and English, Punjabi emigrants around the world have integrated terms from such languages as Spanish and Dutch. A distinctive "Diaspora Punjabi" is thus emerging. As there ...

Sanskrit - Modern-day India.
Sanskrit's greatest influence, presumably, is that which it exerted on languages that grew from its vocabulary and grammatical base. Especially among elite circles in India, Sanskrit is prized as a storehouse of scripture and the language of prayers in Hinduism. Like Latin's influence on European languages, Sanskrit has influenced most Indian languages. While vernacular prayer is common, Sanskrit mantras are recited by millions of Hindus and most temple functions are conducted entirel ...

| | | | | Indian language: Encyclopedia II - Cheyenne - Northern Cheyenne Return The Cheyenne traveled to Fort Keogh (present day Miles City, Montana) and settled near the fort. Many of the Cheyenne worked with the Army as scouts. The Cheyenne scouts were pivotal in helping the Army find Chief Joseph and his band of Nez Percé in northern Montana. Fort Keogh became the staging and gathering point for the Northern Cheyenne. Many families began to migrate south to the Tongue River watershed area and established homesteads. Seeing a need for a reservation, the United States government established, by executive order, a rese ...

| | | | | Indian language: Encyclopedia II - Cheyenne - Early History and Culture Nothing is absolutely known about the Cheyenne people/culture prior to the 16th Century. Much of Cheyenne history study starts at the 16th century.
The earliest known official record of the Cheyenne occurred during the mid-1600's. A group of Cheyenne had visited Fort Crevecoeur, near present-day Chicago. During the 1600/1700's, the Cheyenne moved from the Great Lakes region to present day Minnesota and North Dakota and established villages. The most prominent of these ancient villages is Biesterfeldt Village, in eastern North Dakota a ...

| | | | | Indian language: Encyclopedia II - Ute Tribe - Current situation Present-day Utes occupy a small fraction of their former territories.
The largest tribe, the Northern Ute, lives on the Uintah-Ouray Reservation in northeastern Utah. It is the largest reservation in Utah. The Northern Ute Tribe began repurchasing former tribal lands following the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. The 726,000-acre (2,938 sq. km.) Hill Creek Extension was returned to the tribe by the federal government in 1948. Court decisions in the 1980s granted the Northern Utes "legal jurisdiction" over three million acres (12,140 sq. km.) of alienated reservation lands. Oil and gas discoveries on Ute land in U ...

| | | | | Indian language: Encyclopedia II - Native American name controversy - Amerindian/Amerind The term Amerindian is a derivative of "American Indian" (as is "Amerind", though this term is more popular in linguistic circles), and is not necessarily completely synonymous with "Native American". Although all Amerindians are Native Americans, not all Native Americans are Amerindians. "Amerindian" relates to a mega-group of peoples spanning the Americas that are related in culture and genetics, and are quite distinct from the later arriving Eskimos (Inuit, Yupik, and Aleut peoples native to Alaska and the Canadian Arctic). The lat ...

Although its spelling is similar to that of "Indian", the two words are not related. Indigenous is from Latin, indigena, meaning "a native".

Canadian French uses autochtones for people as the ...

| | | | | Indian language: Encyclopedia II - Native American name controversy - Aboriginal The term "Aboriginal" is another alternate form encountered in English-speaking regions of the world to refer to a people "having existed from the beginning." Its use is largely a product of arbitrary historical circumstance, and its meaning has been formalised in the statutory systems of a few countries where it has been employed. For example, the Canadian Constitution states:
"'Aboriginal' in the context of this plan includes all Indian, Inuit, and Métis peoples of Canada" (Constitution Act, 1982, Sub ...

| | | | | Indian language: Encyclopedia II - Native American name controversy - Indian When Christopher Columbus set sail across the Atlantic Ocean, he believed that he would arrive in the Indies. The purpose of his trip was to expand the spice trade by avoiding the lengthy trip around the Cape of Good Hope. Because of this, he referred to the native people that he found as Indians. The name has been used ever since to varying degrees, however, there are two major problems with this name:
It is also the name of the peoples of a different continent.
It is a name assigned by an outsider, and specific ...

Tragedy struck on the morning of 26th December, 2004 when huge killer waves swept away hundreds of men, women and children in different parts of the District, just as it struck other coastal areas of the Indian Ocean region (many probably never had heard about a Tsunami before).
