History has been important in the Hindu tradition. The Itihas (History) is

found in Ramayana, Mahabharata and other Purans and Vedas. For constructing

proper ancient Indian History, it is necessary to use these ancient accounts

along with the latest Archeological and Historic research. This article

attempts this. The British and the Christian Missionaries, who conquered India

and wrote the Indian History, have deliberately distorted the Indian History to

achieve their aims of converting Hindus to Christianity and securing the British

Colonial rule; by reducing the ancientness of Hindu History and thereby showing

(since ideas flow from more ancient to less ancient) that every thing of value

was brought to India by Europeans, so as to malign Hindus, reduce their self

esteem and thereby facilitating the convertion process. One of the major

distortion in this has been the Aryan Race and Invasion Theory. Some of the

European "Scholars" involved in introducing the distortions were Macauley, Max

Mueller and Monier Williams. Their personal letters, recently surfaced from the

British Archives, clearly expose their bias. Though the modern scholars have

denounced the imperialist and their designs, they have not succeeded in

correcting the distortions in the Indian History- and this distorted History is

still being taught not only in the West, but also in India. This article

focusses on the correction of these distortions. The time scope if this article

is very wide; it starts with the creation of the Universe, 19¼ Billion years

ago, and ends with the 1998 election. Since it is only an outline and not a

text, it is naturally brief. But it provides ample references (several dozen

references are listed, which in turn provide many hundreds of references) to

present the background and justification for the conclusions and the

information given herein.
