The Rgveda, indisputably the oldest literary work, was written at a time when many a great, old-world civilization lay in the wombs of futurity. And almost equal is the antiquity of the puranas which, considered as the fifth Veda, figure distinguished among the traditional sources: Vedic Samhitas, Brahmanas, Srutis and Smrtis, Dharmasastras, epics, \u003ca href=\"\/sa\/article\/tantric\"\u003eTantra\u003c\/a\u003e manuals, and myriad Buddhist and Jaina texts, that have helped historiographers unravel the landmarks in the subcontinental civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBulky and often crowded with legendary, religious and philosophical matters of various kinds, the PURANAS record the genealogies of Hindu deities, the reigns of the Manus, and Chronicles of Solar, Lunar and other ancient dynasties. Professor G.P. Singh tries afresh to establish their historicity, surveying the whole extent of Itihasa-Purana the early Indian historical tradition, founded on the Puranic Literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeticulously sifting facts from myths, legends, and philosophic reflections in this monumental corpus of yore, the book reconstructs millennia of ancient India's political and cultural history from the pre-Bharata War days to about 1200 AD with both genealogical and chronological details of all dynasties that rose and fell in different regions of the Indian subcontinent. Contextually, the author analyse threadbare the Puranic evidence to also review the date of the \u003ca href=\"\/sa\/book\/Hindu\/mahabharata\"\u003eMahabharata\u003c\/a\u003e War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn thematically exploring the historicity of all different Puranas, Dr. Singh is at pains to show how far the Puranic accounts are validated by other traditional writings on the one hand, and archaeological evidence on the other. With prolific bibliographic references and a number of chronological\/ genealogical tables, his book will interest the scholars\/researches of Indology, ancient Indian history and archaeology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. G.P.
