Fulfilled:
It is generally agreed by many modern
scholars that the presently available recensions of the epics and
the Puranas were compiled around the beginning of the Christian Era.
Traditionally the date goes to the beginning of the Kali Era.
Accepting the views of the modern scholars, though two thousand
years have passed since their completion and though there has been a
vast change in the circumstances, those recensions are still found
to be very useful and effective in cultivating the minds of the
Hindus. Mahatma Gandhi wanted Ramarajya after independence. Many
isms had cropped up by that time and the countries following them
were quite prosperous also. Yet he favored Ramarajya of Rama's time.
Such an everlasting influence do the Indian history books possess.
