Tantra (Foreword)

In 5000 BC in the foothills of the Himalayas, Mountain range, in northern India there thrived a species of fierce humanoids called by their Homo sapiens neighbors ‘Asuras’ or the evil giants because of their massive muscled 7½ feet tall frames, dark skins. Though most Asuras were a peace loving, reclusive people, some warlike tribes had a fondness for bone jewelry and pursued of the arcane arts of Tantra (Indian black magic) for which they hunted the humans and earned all the Asuras a fearful reputation.

The Asuras had more or less domination in the vast jungles and plains of prehistoric India. As the men of that time were organized into small city-states that were far apart from each other and the people of these kingdoms hardly ever ventured out of their fortifications unless in large numbers to hunt, gather fruit from the jungle periphery of the city or as armies to wage war with other close by kingdoms. Trade and social interaction was rare, as the kind reception that would be received at the gates of other cities was not known and the routes were also hazardous because of the Asuras and the wild animals.
