The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c13.4

c13.4

From the *Rigveda* to the *Kāmandakīnīti* none of the documents of Hindu positivism can, as we have seen, be dated without controversy. We have observed also that no matter what be the epoch, age or century in which the books more or less in the form in which they are available today got their final forms, the materials or *data* contained in these texts can be traced several centuries back in every instance. This is an aspect of Hindu culture bearing on absolute as well as relative chronology that ought to be remembered in connection with every epoch.
