More about the book
Do Indians have historical sense? Indians have a past. There is no doubting that fact, celebrated in literature, perhaps the oldest that man had created. Epics, myths, heroes and events which are very much a part of the living tradition - are they real? Is there any truth in the ancient Indian historical tradition called Puranas? Who are Aryans? Where have they come from? Mohenjo Daro - what was its name when it was still a living city? Asuras and Devas - are they just figments of a grand fiction? The Vedic seers like Vasishta and Viswamitra - were they individuals, clans or institutions? Ayodhya, Varanasi, Hastinapura and Lanka - do we know where really they are? What happened to the people of the Harappan civilization after it had collapsed? When did the Mahabharata War take place?
