In the massive Indian historical literature, very few books came nearer to the European notion of regular history. But this literature, which is available in all Indian languages and even in dialects, is accepted as their history by all Indians since last thousands of years. It is quite popular and is recited on and often. It is so much revered that some Indians worship it. And this is going on since a very long time, longer than the life-span of the European nations. Indian notions of historiography are far different than those of the Europeans. As in the case of every other discipline, regarding historiography also, Indian seers invariably adopted an integrated life-view.
