The third in our series of Dharma Rajya talks, here Shankara ji delves into some very serious issues to rectify our distorted history by discussing about Itihaasa vs Historiography: Their nature & purposes. The theory of history vs a sustainable narrative. The literal vs literary and symbolic vs pedagogic alongwith ethics and culture. Also the need to put Historiography in its place by building a civilizational consciousness through our Itihaasa and what are the features of an Aitihaasic narrative along with a survey of recent attempts at narratives.
