What Does ‘Itihasa’ Really Mean? How Language Shapes Memory, Myth, and History
In Hindi, itihasa means history—fact-based, scientific, taught in schools. It tells of horses arriving from Eurasia, of chariots and invasions. In Sanskrit, itihasa means sacred story—epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, where time is cyclical and truth is symbolic. Both meanings shape how we remember. At Spin A Yarn India, we honour all Indian languages, knowing they carry not just stories, but worldviews that define who we are.
