Description
It is not common knowledge, even within India, let alone the world, that the current widely presented history and chronology of ancient India is not the one recorded by Indians, but rather a distorted version created during the British rule of India. This book explains the reasons and the glaring errors in the prevalent Indian chronology and history.
The colonial era (18th-19th century) European Indologists were steeped in the biblical version of world history wherein the world originated with Adam in 4006 BC. These Indologists believed the Greek history which starts at about 600 BC to be the oldest and could not accept the chronology of India going back to 3100+ BC. To perpetuate their convictions, the Indian chronology was repudiated and altered to no earlier than 600 BC. The colonial Indologists wrongly identified Chandragupta Maurya of 1534 BC, instead of Chandragupta I of the Gupta Dynasty of 327 BC, as the contemporary of Alexander, thus shrinking ancient India's chronology by over 1,200 years. This wrong identification was made the 'sheet anchor' for rewriting India's chronology and everything before and after Chandragupta Maurya was dated in relation to him being the ruler around 326 BC. Also, the record of the dynasties spanning 1,200 years preceding Gautam Buddha's true time of the 19th century BC was discarded. Thus, India's chronology record was shrunk from 3100+ BC to 600 BC.
This book describes the correct, continuous and connected history and chronology of India from 3139 BC to AD 1192 with ample evidence, based on years of extensive research, supported by hundreds of references cited in the book. The book discusses numerous specific examples of distortions of the chronology.
