“Some things are believed because people feel as if they must be true, and in such cases an immense weight of evidence is necessary to dispel the belief.”- Bertrand Russell

It is inappropriate to use words such as mythological while discussing any religion. In past colonial Christians always used such words when discussing other religion except their own, however it has lost favour nowadays (Thanks to the Liberals in West).

Whether Mahabharata is real or not isn’t the question here, however like every other religious story it does have a “real” historical element wrapped under many layers added on by successive generations.

P.S. It is very heartening to see that Indians are becoming aware of their colonial hangover, high time.

really? So you are saying that the Mahabharata and all that is written in it is undeniable historical evidence and that the work itself is rooted completely in reality?
‘Mythological Past’ , in my opinion, is quite appropriate a term for that penumbrous period.
P.S. Invoking ‘colonial hangover’ has become distressingly and almost reflexively frequent nowadays.

Thumbs up. I appreciate your not using a flash. Those paintings could do without the exposure to harsh lighting.

“mythological” past, when would Indians get out of their colonial hangover/
