Guest guest Report post Posted January 23, 2006 Dear friends, The Ancient Indian History has been founded on strong grounds as the seers recorded the events in terms of tithis etc. The Mahabharata war has occured 5000 years ago and the dating of list of events have been compiled based on the panchang description given in the epic. There are various groups in You can also check my groups on ancienthistory of INdia GRoups. or for further details.
