Pakistan and Sri Lanka, being named/created in modern times, are not represented in The Orient by ‘hoods, but relevant history can be found within India’s .

Each of our regions have their own customs and culture. However, not owing their allegiance in either history or politically to China does separate them from the others. Ancient civilizations, the seeds to other cultures and peoples, the starting point to Buddhism and Hinduism that spread like wildflowers across the land, and recently linguists and scholars have found Sanskrit and Indo-European languages to be the source of a vast array of world languages . All these were born in the White Tiger Domain.

Elaborate temples , mosques , palaces and sculptures dot the landscape all through this region, and the White Tiger Domain’s traditions in art are unsurpassed to this fan’s eyes. Like the famous and rare white Bengal tigers this region takes it’s name after.
