Concept of History w.r.t. India : A Cultural Perspective
Keywords:
Pristine, HistoryAbstract
The pristine existence of India in this universe has always merited the critical and creative responses of historians, philosophers and writers from times immemorial. At one point of time India was called ‘The Sparrow of Gold” and ‘Jagadguru’, she was also branded as the country of snake-charmers and magicians at another. The German philosophers – Jone, Max Mueller and Goethe were profoundly influenced by the Indian philosophy, our mysticism, exp. The Vedanta philosophy. The German philosopher Max Mueller claims that if there is paradise on the earth, this is India, India, India. (Muller, 100)
