Many wise people now believe that Mahabharata happened 5000years

ago(My claim is in 3008BC).

However there are some people who are doing harm to Indian culture

and history by misleading masses.

1)There are some archeologist or those who believe in views of

archeologists that these histories are only 2000BC to 1500BC

old.There are many authors who write books based on these

assumptions.I wish to tell them that they must consider astronomy

also which is given in Ramayana and Mahabharata.Archeology alone

can not give correct answer.

2)There are some who call themselves as scietists/astronomers/

historians who take help of sometimes astrology and give wrong

meaning to the old verses.Please note that Valmiki and Vyas

had written observations of sky from astronomical point of view

and they are correct.But these people try to LABLE Valmiki or Vyas

or Krishna as astrologers and they are unable to find the truth.

At the same time they try to mislead masses.

Please note that astrology has no base in science and any work

done from astrological point of view can not be and will not be

accepted in the world. In this way we ourselves are losing faith

in our own history.Recent example was govt.'s affidavite on

Ramayana.

3) Third class of people who are doing harm are those who call

themselves to be scholars but mislead masses by saying that these

histories happnened many lakhs of years ago. No scietific person

or world will not believe this.

4) Another class is those who are good astronomers but they fully

rely on western softwares and do not understand that these

softwares are not designed for old times.They are good only after

0 A.D..These people are professores,astronomers,scietists in reputed

organistions but they are not openminded and they are egoistic.They

have power,they have resources,they have intelligence but they have

ego and they do not listen to others.

I therefore apeal to those crores of people in India who have

sufficient intelligence to do calculations and ask themselves

for truth.

It is time for Indians to find truth themselves.You can read

books of different views but please do not get biased.

Use your own intelligence and decide.

If you are interested to find truth,pl.read my book " Astronomy

in Mahabharata "

Please read first and the decide.Do not make half cooked decisions.
