Some of these perspectives have been lined up in order to convey practitioners' experiences and recent discoveries. These can be found in several manuscripts from various parts of the world. India has a unique culture, language, and knowledge dating back to ancient times. Along with this, regional geographical variance throughout India results in a variety of scripts and languages. Every 50-100 kilometers, we notice dialects in the languages. The language we speak now evolved from ancient languages.
