What it's about

The Plot in Indian Chronology by Kota Venkatachelam exposes the systematic distortion of India’s ancient history by colonial-era European scholars. He argues that traditional Indian sources—such as the Puranas, inscriptions, and native calendars—were deliberately discredited to fit Indian chronology into a biblical framework. Key eras like Vikrama and Shalivahana were erased or misdated. Through rigorous analysis of indigenous evidence, Venkatachalam reconstructs India's true historical timeline and urges a return to authentic, native historiography rooted in Indian tradition.
