History may be defined as collection of evidences, research based on facts & figures and presentation of authentic information about past events. History is a strong medium to get connected with ancient roots. Scholars who write about history are called Historians. As we all are aware that India witnessed several invasions. Adequate justice could not be done to honor our heros due to lack of interest by the invaders. Small contributions in the field of History of Ancient India by historians during Colonial rule could not do justice to earlier Proud rulers of South North & West India & their successors. Ancient Indian History, therefore became victim of history of religions by historians of colonial era. “ Truth of those dark times was not Truth, it was just someone’s version to please their religious & political bosses.
Research work to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and all attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect by the Truthful Historians of pre partition era was discouraged by Rulers. Indian History suffered from obscurities, uncertainties, and ambiguities during colonial era. Post partition period saw emergence of a dedicated class of Ancient India Historians, who brought out facts & the revolutionary vision of our historians and highlighted the truth of glorious past of India.
“We must be aware that truth marches along long fields of winding shadows out of an abyss the cursed black hole. Truth is a shower of raining stars hailing down from the heavens. It covers the earth & makes it gold.”
Truth is therefore more desirable then many white diamonds. It is the thing, we must, search for, A thing, we must prize for, A thing we must hold. And here is the Truth of Ancient India.
The recorded History of India begins from Indus Valley civilization for which adequate evidences were discovered from sites like Harappa, and Lothal etc. The two phases of Indian history may be described as pre-Vedic and Vedic periods. It is in the Vedic period that Hinduism first arose: this is the time to which the Vedas are dated. In the In the fifth century, large parts of India were united under Ashoka. He had also converted to Buddhism, and it is in his reign that Buddhism spread to other parts of Asia. It is in the reign of the Mauryas that Hinduism took the shape that fundamentally informs the religion down to the present day. Successor states were more fragmented.
