What to Focus On

  • Texts reveal ideals, debates, and social norms, not just events.
  • Historians compare different traditions to avoid treating one viewpoint as universal.
  • Normative texts prescribe behaviour; descriptive texts narrate situations and practices.

  • The Mahabharata grew gradually over a long period.
  • It combines story and instruction.
  • Itihasa means 'thus it was'.

  • The project began in 1919.
  • V.S. Sukthankar led the project.
  • The work took 47 years.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Mahabharata is only a heroic story and has no social or historical value.

Patriliny and matriliny mean the same thing, or both describe descent through the family in general.

Draupadi’s marriage proves that polyandry was the normal and most common form of marriage in early Indian society.
