With its authentic religious aura, Brahmanical literature even today plays an important role in delineating out the route of ancient history of India. It is hugely vast and mostly religious in disposition, because, from the very beginning, Indians had developed a religious bent if mind. Although most of these books are spiritual, yet they render very fitting historical statements and references.

Vedas-The earliest of the Brahmanical literary books comprise 4 Vedas- Rigveda, Yajurveda, Atharvaveda, Samaveda. It is normally commented that these Vedas are spiritual in lineament and therefore their describes are of no historical magnitude. This is a very incorrect view, because Vedas establish the prehistoric period. They furnish a lot of information about the social and religious life of the Aryans, which is very important for restructuring the history of Aryans in India. Rigveda is the oldest of all Vedas and furnishes priceless information about the history and political systems of the Aryans. The Vedas also sheds light upon the economic life of the Aryans. Through the Vedas, it is also knows exactly who were the original inhabitants of India, how they had multiplied into different parts of India, how they fought the Dasuas and so on.
