Expert Answer
In ancient India since people did not have scientific knowledge of the chemical properties of soil- the way we know it today, it was not the soil but the lands which were classified into various categories. Lands were divided into various categories based on the fertility of the soil and the nature of the terrain. For example, in ancient Hindu literary texts, lands have been divided into following categories:
- Urvara Lands (lands with fertile soil)
- Khila lands (barren lands)
- Sakravati (lands with sandy soil)
- Saadvala (lands with grass)
- Nadimaatraka (lands watered by rivers)
- Aranya (forest lands with forest soils)
