Hi Smitha:

it is heartening to see that many others too feel similarly about the state of Indian History! It may take a generational change to see improvements. But then, tis only history and eventually the truth does percolate up.

And thanks to folks like Nitin Pai who are trying to shed a clarify light and at the same time bringing history to a larger cohort.

Also, if you do come across interesting articles on Indian history, please do forward the links to me.

Thank you for your comment.
Arun

What a surprise, I was complaining to my friend last night that even respected Historians were ignoring the developments reported in Scientific journal, more so on the ancient history. It is so obvious that Historian being trained in India are still taught to got to Archives, museums and field trip, and they ignore satellite imagery, geological studies etc. In fact reading an article written by a famous historian from AMU, I was deeply pained how difficult it is to know the truth in the light of recent research and how colour-ed History in India is. ….Hailing from one such ‘red’ coloured universities myself, I always felt that I am getting to see just one side of the coin. I hope that main stream History will be updated in accordance with the recent scientific finding without any colour prejudice.
