The Govt should commission a new Purana in Sanskrit. It should cover the entire recorded history of the civilization state of Bharatam in the native perspective. From the spread of Indo-European tribes from Sapta Sindhu(3500-2000 BCE) to the 1st war of Independence in 1857 CE.
It should then be translated to every vernacular. The Puranas are the world's oldest historical tradition originally created by 100s of Vedic era court bards/Pauranikas. There is no need for us to blindly follow the colonial methods of histography whose pollution must be removed.
Purana writing continued even till modern times. True, lots of ahistorical stories, mythology, exaggerations & chronological errors have crept into the major puranas over the last 3500 years. These shortcomings must be corrected while we extract history from original Vedic texts.
I want to read the ten volumes of Nava-Purana/Adhunika-Purana in Malayalam !!!!!
Every factual sentence in this Purana should have citations to original sources and not quote tertiary opinions of some guy in Harvard or a stooge in Delhi. The Purana should be impeccable!
