Description:
This volume offers a systematic and comprehensive history of historical writing in ancient and medieval India, delving into the evolution of historiography from early times through the medieval period. It examines various traditions of historical writing, including Buddhist, Jain, and historical biographies, chronicles, and vamsavali. The book explores the contributions of different religious communities to the development of historiographical traditions, emphasizing the idea that ancient Indians indeed had a conception of history, viewing it as the soul of the nation. The work sheds light on ancient and medieval historical writings to challenge the notion that India lacked a tradition of historiography, illustrating the significant role that historical records played in preserving the culture and civilization of the country.
