NEW DELHI, September 18, 2015 (The Hindu): Moves are on, at the Sanskrit Department of the University of Delhi, to push back the commonly accepted date of the Vedas through astronomical calculations. Next weekend, the department will host scholars from across India who, over three days, will reassess the existing Vedic chronology accepted by a range of European scholars and Indian historians.
HPI Note: See source for the rest of this article, but be advised this is heavily slanted by the Marxist leanings of The Hindu newspaper. The scientific reasons for pushing back the date of the Vedas are compelling, and not just a matter of politics as they imply.
