Many texts of Sanatana Dharma record history - just in a form that is different than what is now considered to be the norm. Today, the definition of History is that which was introduced into India by the British. Much prior to that, the sages recorded history so that future generations could benefit from its learnings. The Rigveda has recorded some history, the Ramayana of Valmiki and the Mahabharata by Sage Vyasa are popular examples of Itihasa.
The Ramayana and Mahabharata were composed in an epic format, which means poetry in order to make it easy for people to listen, learn, and preserve history.
List on Itihasa's:
- Ramayana
- Mahabharata
- Indus Valley
- Term of Hinduism
- History of Raavana
- Great Universities of Ancient India
- Hinduism History of Afghanistan
- Vedas - beyond History and Geography
