India history and geography
Source: Project Gutenberg: Castes and Tribes of Southern India, Volume 1Puchcha is one of the exogamous septs (divisions) among the Komatis (a trading caste of the Madras Presidency). Puchcha refers to the plant Puchcha (Citrullus Colocynthis). The Komatis are said to have originally lived, and still live in large numbers on the banks of the Godavari river. One of the local names thereof is Gomati or Gomti, and the Sanskrit Gomati would, in Telugu, become corrupted into Komati. The sub-divisions are split up into septs (viz., Puchcha), which are of a strictly exogamous character.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
