| History
not Only Popular but Also Revered:
In the massive Indian historical
literature, very few books came nearer to the European notion of
regular history. But this literature, which is available in all
Indian languages and even in dialects, is accepted as their history
by all Indians since last thousands of years. It is quite popular
and is recited on and often. It is so much revered that some Indians
worship it. And this is going on since a very long time, longer than
the life-span of the European nations. Indian notions of
historiography are far different than those of the Europeans. As in
the case of every other discipline, regarding historiography also,
Indian seers invariably adopted an integrated life-view.
