Modern Tapakdore fell under the [[Arunid Empire]] during classical antiquity. western Tapakdore was part of the province of Kashmiria with parts of northern [[Umardwal]], ruled by Kashmiri princes. It was important to the empire with its textile industry and trade routes on [[Sea of Kandahar]] and the [[Aab-e-Farus]]. It became a hub of learning and culture and served as the crossroads between the Arabo-Persian and the Punjabo-Nepali areas of the [[Arunid Empire]]. The {{wp|Kashmiri}} princes who ran Kashmiria were violent subjugators of the proto-{{wp|Persian}} culture in the area and forced the creation of the {{wp|Afghan people|Ifgeen}} culture as unique from the proto-{{wp|Persian}} culture in what would become northern [[Battganuur]]. The eastern part of Tapakdore was part of the core administrative Kingdom of Pondichundie that formed the base of the empire, with most of modern [[Pukhgundi]]. | Modern Tapakdore fell under the [[Arunid Empire]] during classical antiquity. western Tapakdore was part of the province of Kashmiria with parts of northern [[Umardwal]], ruled by Kashmiri princes.

The [[Arunid Empire]], a sprawling realm stretching across [[Daria]] and beyond from 372 BCE to [[884]] CE, left an enduring legacy on the regions it encompassed. Tapakdore, nestled within the empire's embrace, experienced a transformative period marked by economic prosperity, cultural exchange, and integration into a complex imperial system. Tapakdore's geological riches, particularly its abundant deposits of rubies and sapphires, played a pivotal role in its integration and significance within the [[Arunid Empire]]. These precious gemstones were sought after by the empire's elite for personal adornment and as symbols of status and power. Tapakdore's gem trade flourished, contributing significantly to the imperial treasury and elevating the region's economic standing. The extraction and trade of these gemstones not only generated revenue but also fostered the development of skilled craftsmanship and artistry within Tapakdore. Beyond its gemstone wealth, Tapakdore's coastal location on the [[Aab-e-Farus]] granted it a strategic advantage as a maritime nexus. Its ports bustled with activity, serving as vital gateways for trade between the empire's interior and the wider world. Merchant vessels laden with spices, textiles, and other valuable commodities from distant lands traversed Tapakdore's waters, enriching the region and connecting it to diverse cultures and civilizations. This maritime trade fueled economic growth and fostered a cosmopolitan atmosphere within Tapakdore, as merchants, sailors, and travelers from various corners of the empire converged in its ports. | |||
The Arunid Empire's ethos of religious tolerance and cultural inclusivity created a fertile ground for cultural exchange and diversity within Tapakdore. The region became a confluence of various cultural influences, with Pukhti, {{wp|Persian|Persi}}, and [[Istroyan]] traditions intermingling with indigenous customs. This cultural synthesis is evident in Tapakdore's architectural heritage, artistic expressions, and religious practices, which showcase a blend of diverse styles and beliefs. The vibrant cultural landscape of Tapakdore during the Arunid era was a testament to the empire's cosmopolitan spirit and the region's ability to absorb and adapt to external influences. Under the Arunid Empire's centralized administration, Tapakdore experienced a period of structured governance and integration into a vast imperial system. Imperial policies and regulations shaped the region's administrative framework, ensuring a degree of uniformity and consistency across the empire. However, the empire's recognition of local customs and traditions allowed Tapakdore to retain a degree of autonomy in matters of local governance. This approach fostered a sense of belonging and cooperation among the region's inhabitants, facilitating their integration into the larger imperial structure. The dissolution of the [[Arunid Empire]] in [[884]] CE marked a turning point for Tapakdore. The religious tolerance ended under the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] and attempts at cultural homogenization meant that some of traditions of the natives were lost to time. | |||
