Politics Of Indian History -2

[ramana]

The West has this image of India and its people handed down through millenia which clouds their judgement. THis negative image is reinforced and propped up by Western travellers and scholars who have a vested interest.
For instance hereis Columbia Uty's webpage link to History by Herodotus the first of the history writers.

link: Herodotus on Darius and India

Romila Thapar and all are part of this tradtion and scholarship. Fanciful tales are passed down as history and reinforced periodically so that Indians can be treated as downtrodden.
