Indians, unlike their counterparts in other ancient civilizations, did not have a thing for writing down their history!
Most of the sources and information we have on Ancient and Medieval India up until the arrival of Muslims on its borders is from Megasthenes (a Greek writer), Chinese Monk Xuanzang, and others like them.
In fact one of authorities on India and its history is al Biruni (from Mahmud Ghazni’s court) who wrote about India and its history. Only with the arrival of Muslim rulers in India do we finally see historical books emerging.
Hope it's help u:-)
