Modi's India: Fixing actual date of Mahabharata becomes a priority in the study of history

Akhil Bharatiya Itihas Sankalan Yojana started in 1978 is the brainchild of RSS leader Babasaheb Apte and Moropant Pingle. The idea behind the project is to write history from nationalist perspective and popularize Sanskrit.

he is heading a professional outfit and he is obviously acceptable to its members. let him publish mahabharat dates. he is funded by non govt sources.
now if you have your side strong enough go get funding to prove Mahabharata never happened and refute other side arguments with logical arguments.
All you do is whining about other peoples legitimate activities.

That will undermine your popularization of Urdu and Farsi.

it is a complete waste of money. For instance, modern scholars place the Rig Veda to have been composed around circa 1400 BC. But the chaddi scholars place the Rig Veda at anywhere between 30,000 BC and 10,000 BC. No serious historian outside India takes chaddi scholarship seriously.
So many people in India are going without food, and here we are wasting money in assigning erroneous dates to historical texts.

His effort on dating the River Saraswati (as to when it actually flowed last time) makes a lot of sense in scientific terms and will be important to "determine" the age of the Vedas  ("how old are the vedas and who can read them" in https://such.forumotion.com/t24460-my-blogs-on-indology-vedas-and-caste-system )

Besides finding the Vedic origins through Saraswati dating (as indicated above), there are other academic / scientific considerations for finding about the final days and drying up of the river Sarawati.

It will not only yield clues about the drying of Saraswati (when and how and whether slowly over time or suddenly and quickly), but it also may shed light about the future of current rivers.

That naturally will be beneficial in taking proactive steps to avoid the demise of these natural resources of water.

Incidentally, as I had mentioned quite a while back on the Sulekha, a story in a Purana indicates that the demise / drying up and subsequent disappearance of Saraswati was rather quick (implying that there must have been a huge natural disaster in the area before that, leading the river to dry up rather quickly over just a few decades perhaps).

I am sure the starving millions of India are grateful to the 'intellectuals' who are doing this kind of 'fact based' and 'result oriented' research.
