“I have heard, there is a move to replace history by mythology. I think you are one of those who support it.” my friend is by choice, sharp like a razor and pungent as acid in his remarks. He was smiling victoriously.
I was pleased that he had read what I wrote. I was equally lethal in my response, “I find nothing like history apart from Puranas on any book-shelf. It is our task to separate corn from the chaff and make a history. I am not in favour of Puranas, it is you who fight to retain modern myths marketed as history lest true history should emerge and the rubbish is consigned to Its proper domain.
