Indian History Cheat Sheet - "For historians, the Indus valley cities came first, then the Vedic hymns, then the Upanishads, then the Buddha, then the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, then the Puranas that tell the stories of Vishnu, Shiva, Durga and Ganesha, then the arrival of Islam followed by heightened popularity of Bhakti literature such as the works of Tukaram and Tulsidas, Akka Mahadevi and Mirabai, and finally the rise of European powers, culminating in the Indian national movement. (Only Ramchandra Guha bothered to tell us that history continues after Gandhi)." Source: http://bit.ly/15KuQRs - September 22, 2013 at 09:00AM
