As to Churchill, well one knows what his attitude towards the Natives and the Independence of India.

Yet we believe in their versions of History!

One forgets that the Indian Culture is more ancient and there are records,

The criticism is that they are not in the written form.

Does it mean that what ever some one says is untrue and what is written is true?

if so, which is true, Hitler's Mein Kampf or The History of the English Speaking Peoples?

Any History is at first oral and then is written.

We have a our tradition of handing down the culture and traditions by word of mouth.

Wring part came later.

The Vedas, Purana , all have been handed over to us by word pf mouth from Generation to generation.

Just how reliable are these?

Let me suggest you hear the intonations of the Vedas in any part of India.

There is absolutely no variation at all between what is chanted in Kanyakumari, Hrishikesh,Puri or Dwaraka.

I recall an incident when I visited the Hrishikesh,Haridwar in 1990.

When I entered the Temples there I was chanting the Rudra, Chamaka.

As I neared the sanctum sanctorum, I was called into the sanctum by the Panda with a remark,

'Saab, you are chanting Krishna Yajur .This is rare in these parts.

We have not heard for a longtime.

Please come in and recite and perform Abhisheka"
