The Social Organisation in North-East India in Buddha's Time c4.3

c4.3

That I have placed the culture which the Jātakas exhibit in North-Eastern India, will, I hope, not provoke any opposition. For although most of the stories contained in our sources are, so far as their contents are concerned, the common property of the Indian people and were known all over India, yet in the form in which they appear in the Jātakas, they belong to a particular part of India, namely, the north-east, the home of Buddhism.
