HYMNS OF HARAPPA : A NEW PARADIGM ON TRADITIONAL HISTORIES BY SAI PAPINENI (PAPERBACK)

Do Indians have historical sense? Indians have a past. There is no doubting that fact, celebrated in literature, perhaps the oldest that man had created. Epics, myths, heroes and events which are very much a part of the living tradition – are they real? Is there any truth in the ancient Indian historical tradition called Puranas? Who are Aryans? Where have they come from? Mohenjo Daro – what was its name when it was still a living city? Asuras and Devas – are they just figments of a grand fiction?  The Vedic seers like Vasishta and Viswamitra – were they individuals, clans or institutions? Ayodhya, Varanasi, Hastinapura and Lanka – do we know where really they are?  What happened to the people of the Harappan civilization after it had collapsed? When did the Mahabharata War take place?
