PRELUDE TO HISTORY
9
Most of our orthodox historians are reconciling themselves to a date of the Mahābhārata War almost to this period of time. Hence it is a possible line of investigation which may yield ample results.
The archaeologist can, however, only point out the shadows; but, he is not yet in a position to designate the actors of this shadow-play. So, unless we solve the more complex problems of the Aryans and equally terse problems of archaeology, we can only plead for a little more patience.
Link with History:
Thus we have seen how from Pre-history and Proto-history of Gujarat, we come through Archaeology into History; and the Pre-Mauryan and the Mauryan periods inaugurate the main chronology discussed in the succeeding chapters.
