History is not somebody’s fictional story

History is not somebody’s fictional story; unless of course if it were to have been baptised by WhatsApp university which thousands of school and society dropouts whose lives run on the fuel of pseudo-bhakti, believe in this. 

History is product of illustrious genius in universities, research institutes and advance studies from the world over supported by strong established traditions of finding evidences with help of archeology, written documents, cross examining multiple resources, modern carbon dating and above all with global democratic institutionalised system of ruthless peer review.To establish a past event as historical happening sometimes it has taken decades or even century of research. History is not what is being taught on insta, Fb and youtube reels by trained rogues twisting reality. 

History is well researched documents supported with facts available as physical proofs like coins, tablets and original manuscripts. These researches have been made available for decades for global scrutiny and discussions before authorities took them as believable. If you happen to peep into what actually was happening in so called Indian peninsula say some 2000 years back you would be surprised and shocked that almost nothing as we know of this place today through folklore was existing anywhere. But the mythology, large part of which is constructed in very recent past, has gone so deep in minds of the people that they would not move an iota off their dreamy imagery of glorious illustrations of mythological divinity which had been mostly written ( or so called rewritten from oral narrations) during past couple of centuries after printing became popular. Some myths are as freshly minted as some 10-12 years back only. 

There are structures and phenomenons which appear miracles all over the world but no where people associate every strange happening to GOD, only we do it in India. Aurora Australis in India would have made thousand stories on Gods descending from skies. Nowhere it so happens except India. World over there are thousands of beautiful but apparently unexplainable natural phenomena like eg northern lights which for laity could be easily passed on as supernatural with a mythical story attached. But to appreciate people there look to science instead, not to Gods‬.
