Dear Tiru Palaniappan avarghal,

I think the situation you mention is just the opposite of reality. Most of the modern , particularly Indological understanding of literary texts has been well informed by history which is mostly based on epigraphy. In fact, we have to identify epigraphists who have been Indologists who used literary texts to inform and correct epigraphic data since their number is not big.

Much of Gregory Schopen’s work on early Buddhism is exemplary in this regard.
