The Vedic age and the centuries that followed have always fascinated me. Today, our religious discourses and mythologies have become the primary source of information on that era. This page tries to uncouple the myth from the reality. Our post colonial history is common knowledge but south Asia's classical history remains shrouded. This is because our oral tradition has lead to a loss and corruption of information. The Vedic Age will provide snippets and flashes from the bronze and iron age of south Asia. This page attempts to create original content to pique your curiosity and make this aspect of our history mainstream.
