- Details: This book explores India’s rich literary tradition, tracing the historicity of the Puranas—considered the "fifth Veda"—within the broader context of early Indian historiography. The work meticulously separates historical facts from myths, legends, and philosophical interpretations, reconstructing India's political and cultural history from pre-Mahabharata times to the post-Harsha period (circa 1200 AD). It provides genealogical and chronological details of various ancient dynasties and kingdoms, analyzing Puranic evidence alongside other traditional and archaeological sources. With extensive bibliographic references and chronological tables, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers of Indology, ancient Indian history, and archaeology.
