History is the continuous, systematic narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race. All events that are remembered and preserved in some form constitute the historical record.
A brief EARLY history of India:
Indus Valley Civilization %u2013 3300-1700 BC Late Harappan Culture %u2013 1700-1300 BC Vedic period %u2013 1500-500 BC Iron Age %u2013 1200-300 BC Maha Janapadas %u2013 700-300 BC Magadha Empire %u2013 545-320 BC Maurya Empire %u2013 321-184 BC
The real Indian history starts from the foresaid brief. We used to believe all Puranas and their characters are real and existed. The real problem starts when we mix up Puranas with History.
Apart from History all countries have their own literatures in terms of Puranas and adventure stories. Astonishingly no countries claim that their Puranas and adventure stories are real. Unfortunately here in India we brainwashed by the Brahmanical and mad Hindutuva forces to believe that Puranas and adventure stories related to Hinduism are real and existed. This is done for their own survival.
