Itihasa is more than just history | EP5 Wisdom Sutra w/ Rajiv Malhotra

History as a formal western discipline claims to present the past objectively without any bias. In Dharmic civilizations, however, accounts of the past are not made through either myth or history exclusively. Rather, these categories are replaced by itihasa, which combines 'purakalpa' (past narrative) with words of advice regarding all aspects of life.

In this episode of Wisdom Sutra, Rajiv Malhotra provides a clear analysis of how Western History differs from Dharmic Itihasa - How History lacks a strong foundation like the Vedas and in turn is prone to distortions from Historians imparting Feminism, Post Modernism and other political views. How Pre-Christian and Pre Islamic History was distorted and erased and Why we should stop our Gurus and experts from using the methodologies of History in studying our Itihasa.
