Why Mythology is not Itihasa | EP6 Wisdom Sutra w/ Rajiv Malhotra

In this episode of Wisdom Sutra, Rajiv Malhotra provides a precise analysis of how Mythology differs from Dharmic Itihasa. Itihasa-s and Purana-s contain historical facts but are neither merely books of history, nor tales of fantasy (myth). Itihasa-s and Purana-s are a part of Vedic literature and are regarded as the fifth Veda.
The superimposition of derogatory definitions and distancing Itihasa from its strong Vedic foundation leads to distortions from those who wish to see Itihasa-s only from a western lens and downgrade it to a pagan ''Myth".
