"One of the most interesting aspects of the study of history is knowing the history of history writing itself. It gives you an idea how history changes by the changing interpretation." Indian Tradition of History Writing How same data and the same evidence get completely different meaning in the hands of different scholars. In this chapter, we are going to learn precisely this aspect of ancient Indian history. We shall study when and how the writing of ancient Indian history began and how it progressed, traversing different paths over a long period of time. Many foreign scholars opined that Indians had no sense of history writing and whatever was written in the name of history is nothing more than a story without any sense. This appears to be a very harsh judgment. To say that Indians had no consciousness about their own history and no sense of writing history is simply incorrect.

This quest about knowing the past is known as history.  Through the study of history of a society or nation we have come to know about the past of that society or nation.

With all these economic aspects, also came a whole lot of other things like the...

With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.
