“To Rapson there never was any originality in ancient Indian history, which was also a collection of histories of many separate countries. It is against characters like Rapson that Indian scholars of ancient India wielded their pens.”

“Their oldest literature...supplies no certain indication that they still retained the recollection of their former home; and we may reasonably conclude, therefore, that the invasion which brought them into India took place at a date considerably earlier.”
