Answer 1

Answer: 1) Modern Expert of History,Archaeology and Indian culture doesn't have deep knowledge of Sanskrit and Phd in sanskrit have restricted themselves only in teaching related to Ramayan and Mahabharat ...They also are not involved in research related to History ...2)Even after 73 Years of Independence ,Government officials who make policies for Research and development in regards to Ancient History of India , have dictatorial,Colonial and German-Russio-Sino Leftist Mindset ...Only thing this Officials are not eating snakes and bats like chinese ideological siblings

Explanation: Ancient Historians of India were Munis sect who wrote many Purans ..Which means old stories ...Their method and timings of narrating dates do start from Manvantars from beginning of Earth,while Abrahimic Faiths e.g Christianity, Judaism and Islam have their own history Starts Adam and Eve ultimately believer of One God While Darwin believe in process of Natural Selection ...So As a personal Belief of Realism ,I can prove my own point that Nobody have seen the God ...He can be One or More than one ...So why I should or any one firmly believe in Moses ,Jesus and Mohammad ...There can be more than one God or Ultimately one ...So like faith in Religion or ideology ...Writing of History also starts from perspective of Reference of Date ...If Here I write a note of Present meeting with you ,so which date I should mention ..Date related to Date from which Mahabharat Starts..Yugabdh ,Christ birth or Hijri ..The movement of Mohammad from Mecca to Medina ...So Problem which occurs for writing of Ancient History is that

1)Valmiki mentioned That Lord Ram ruled for 11000 Varsh..Later on after 5500 years,Kalidas Mentioned Varsh as years ,but originally Valmiki means from Varsh as number of days which means 11000 days as in years it comes around as 86 years

2)in Same way British Historians doesn't have knowledge about Greek era ,Indian era but History of All countries like Persia,Greek ,Romans ,Indian were rewritten by Britishers who are most murkh and sly people of the World .They were having no knowledge of Sanskrit pronounciation and still bring their nose in writing history of the India

Answer 2

The problems encountered in the use of literary sources for writing ancient Indian history:-

• Literary sources are important to recreate the past but to understand the literary sources, a historian has to understand the minds of that time.

• To recreate the past literary sources provide deep insight but the possibility that are highly influenced by the conditions of a writer cannot be neglected.

• Historically, writing is patronized by the royal courts to justify their rule and therefore the element of bias-ness needs to be studied carefully.
