Official history writing in the country is set to undergo a historic change with the Ramayana, Mahabharata and theories of Aryans being indigenous to India taking prominence over Left-leaning chronicles of the past.
More studies on the two Hindu epics would be priority areas for future historical research, said YS Rao, chairman of the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR), on Friday.
A series of lectures from Thursday to Saturday on the Aryan-origin theory at ICHR and other forums shows this is a top priority for historians today, replacing primarily Leftist scholars who held sway since the 1970s.
Rao, council members Dilip Chakrabarti and Michel Danino, veteran archaeologists BB Lal and RS Bisht and Padma awardee David Frawley are among the speakers, or proponents of this line of history.
