The author contrasts narrative with chronological history.

Once again I stress that Indians, particularly Hindus do not have a tradition of physical record keeping. Hindus records have - for a great part of history, been in the form of a narrative, and for that reason alone Hindus narrative must be recorded and given an indelible place before egregious bitches like Nussbaum add to the forces choosing to delete all references to any kind of Hindu narrative.

Well, it is just one application. Let's say we have all the narratives we want (call it data), and then what? The purpose of the data if you will, after all - history telling, ethical/moral lessons, conduct, etc etc. IMO Hindus take a beating here. We have to get the language of 'story telling", and have to have a common "interpretive framework", that will explain to ourselves, and counter commies. No?
Anyways, speaking of identity, one application of narratives & Identity Management (my words):
