Indians are famous for not writing and preserving their own history. Most of the accounts of ancient India come from foreign travellers and invaders. There are only two known exceptions: Ramayan and Mahabharat. Our government now claims that there is no proof of Ram. Well, Ram's 52nd descendant fought on the side of Kauravs in Mahabharat. Mahabharat was fought around 2550 BC i.e. 4557 years ago. Add about 1200 years for the 52 descendants and Ramayan happened around 5750 years ago. No monuments or writing can stand the harsh weather of our country for that long; only oral poetry can be transmitted down the generations. Show me any other civilization which has stood that long let alone preserved its history. Historians used to laugh at Illiad's epic of Troy till they found the city exactly where the poem told them. Our History departments are riddled with anti-Hindus and they will refuse to even look at legitimate evidence. Why are Hindu leaders silent about this?

You are wrong indians are the first one to write history.You seem to be ignorant of all this go and books written by europeans on india visit these sites for insight and knowledge www.archaeologyonline.net and www.atributetohinduism.com Ramayana and mahabharat are itihas .Go read the book by a historian ONCE INDIA RULED AMERICA. we all are fighting amongst us all only.You know as per vedas all of us have come from present Tibbet or old trivishtup.? Long time back there was a article on this in readers digest that originally there were seven ladies from tibbet.You Gotra system of hindus.People with gotra of Bhardwaj belong to lineage of bhardway, similarly kashyap, etc. In those times people migrated to different places but to keep the identity they maintained Gotras.

Lord McCauley in his speech of Feb 2, 1835, British Parliament "I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation".
