Thus the workable framework includes: n.-w. region (roughly Jammu and Kashmir), n. region (Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh), w. region (Rajasthan, Gujarat), middle Ganga Region (Bihar), Lower Ganga Region (West Bengal), e. region (Assam, the adjoining states and centrally administered territories), c. region (Madhya Pradesh), n.-e. Deccan (Orissa), Upper Deccan (Maharashtra), s.-e. Deccan (Andhra Pradesh), Lower Deccan (Karnataka), s. region (Tamil Nadu), and s.-w. region (Kerala). Special regions such as the Vindhyas and Chhota Nagpur have been dealt with separately when a culture so demands, otherwise they have been included in the nearest larger units. The principles of this regionalization and periodization have been explained under 4.1. - [Previous: v1.c5.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c5.15) - [Next: v1.c5.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c5.17) - [Up: v1.c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c5.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c5.16) · Pramāṇa
