Not only did our ancestors possess history, they cared about it deeply. Not the material, 'factual' history. But as Prof. Adluri calls it, the "history that transcends historicism." History that a civilization could converse with and learn from. As we do from memory.

2. The reason re-building of a grand Rama Temple in Ayodhya was so important to Hindu civilization is because it is a great step in reclaiming the sacred land of Bhāratavarṣa, for Sanātana dharma. The reclamation of the Śaradā Peetha in Kashmir is a similarly important moment.
