Description

About The Book: The book discusses the importance of using information from Vedic, Epic, and Puranic literature for understanding the ancient history of India. Traditionally, our knowledge of ancient India has been based on these sources, which include accounts of early occurrences and historical allusions. However, modern scholars tend to focus only on Vedic literature, neglecting the valuable information found in Puranic and epic tradition. The book argues that this approach is limiting and compares it to constructing European history solely from theological literature. The book is a pioneering work in the field by an important orientalist of the nineteenth century.
