hehe minting money .. poor people what a name !
The Place might be well known for minting coins and name struck. This things are not strange.In Delhi ever heard of 'Daftar', it is the Central Secretariat. Few years ago, conductors of bus used to shout 'daftar daftar' and I use to get confused, is there only one office in Delhi? Before I realize that it was the main employer during a period of history.Same it with this 'Taksal'
nice to see this station.It will remind you when I see it again.
hmm … And what could Taksila mean then … just wondering? Older name for Varanasi … right ?
Doli :DTarun, thanks for sharing the Daftar story. Abhilash, so when are you heading that way? :DSangfroid, geography has never been my strong point but I thought Takshila and Nalanda were in Bhiar.
Don't get confused – Takshila (or Taxila) and Nalanda are/were two different cities – thousands of miles away. Taxila is now in Pakistan; and Nalanda is in Bihar. If I am not mistaken, Taxila has the honor of establishing world's first University in 500-600 B.C. +/- 100-200 B.C. 🙂
Thanks for the correction Atul, as I said, Geography has never been my strong point.
