The old seer of Kani Mutt , the Mahaperiyaval used to say that it is for
us to read , judge and then follow the rules laid down by our texts etc.
It is for us to decide which is good and bad , he said.
<b>Vivekananda , IIRC , once said , of all religious texts in the world it is in the vedas of hindus it is declared said that study of vedas themselves might be secondary ! </b>
So , such texts (itihaasas) are questionable.
