Difficulties in the Study of Ancient Indian History

   In the past, there was no system of recording the events. So, only important events were recorded with great difficulty on copper plates and rock pillars. But some of the records get destroy while others have not come to light as yet. Therefore, there are really many difficulties in the study of ancient Indian history.    Besides, lack of historical material, ancient records, definite chronology, difficulty in deciphering old scripts, etc. are other reasons that make difficulties in the study of Ancient Indian History. Further, some historians ignore important events and give prominence to unimportant events.

1. ಇತಿಹಾಸ ರಚನಾ ಪದ್ಧತಿಯ ಕೊರತೆ-No system of writing History:-

   In the ancient past, there was no system of writing the main events by historians. As a result, there are no historical and authentic or first-hand sources that are available.

2. ಮುದ್ರಣ ಸೌಲಭ್ಯದ ಕೊರತೆ-No printing presses:-

  In ancient India, there were no printing presses. As a result, there are only a few records available to us to study past events.

3. ದಾಳಿಕೋರರಿಂದ ನಾಶ-Destruction by Invaders:-

   Many invaders invaded India in the past. Some of the invaders destroyed many sources of information. So there are few invaders who destroyed intentionally while others destroyed the source of information unintentionally.

4. ಭಾಷೆಯ ತೊಡಕುಗಳು-Difficulty of Languages:-

   Prakrit and Pali were the main languages of the Indus people.  But now, those languages are now no longer in vogueor use. Thus, there were many difficulties in deciphering the available material in above languages.

5. ಹೆಸರುಗಳಲ್ಲಿನ ತೊಡಕುಗಳು-Difficulty about names:-

   As per the available sources, the same name of a ruler occurs more than once rather many a time. In such cases, it becomes difficult to attribute a particular event to a particular ruler.

6. ಕಾಲಗಣನೆಯಲ್ಲಿನ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳು-Chronological Difficulties:-

   There is also a chronological difficulty. It has become difficult to reconcile the conflicting dates. This difficulty has particularly arisen because each ruler started their own era and recording of events starts according to his own eras.

7. ಸ್ವಯಂಪ್ರಶಂಸೆಯ ಸವಾಲುಗಳು-Problem of self-praise:-

   In the past, there were very few historians in the true sense of the term. Each ruler, however, had his own singers in his darbar (court) who sang in his praise. Thus, they never brought out his defects to light. As a result, it has rather become difficult to distinguish between facts or truly and false i.e. self-undeserved praise.

8. ವಿರೋಧಾಭಾಸವುಳ್ಳ ದಾಖಲೆಗಳು-Self-Contradicting Records:-

   We have been left with very few records but even available records pose a serious difficulty. Since no one recorded true events. In fact, they record the events as per the guidelines of the ruler. Therefore many contradictions have crept in. So far there is no way out to adjust these contradicting records.

9. ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಅನೈಕ್ಯತೆ-Lack of Political unity:-

   In ancient India, there was a lack of political unity. The whole country was divided into small states and each state had it’s own history. Thus if the history of ancient India is to be studied in its true perspective, it is essential that the history of all these states should be studied. It is an uphill or difficult task to corelate the events of different rulers.

10. ಸ್ವಾಭಾವಿಕ ನಾಶ-Natural destruction:-

   There is lack of resources to reconstruct the ancient Indian history because sufficient material is not available and most of the materials are buried deep into the earth.
