If an Indian from 1500 years ago were to come alive today,would he recognize that we are talking about him and his times. I suspect we are getting obsessed with the indologists' India, an Asiatic Society type of ancient India.Surely there was a tradition of truth,ethics, common sense, belonging to the field India. May be, moulded and influenced by the texts, but self-supportig and autonomous.
