Significance of Myth

In the context of Indian history, the term "myth" describes the earlier viewpoint of Zhangzhung as a fanciful story rather than an actual historical truth. This perception emphasizes the tendency to regard certain narratives as fictional or legendary, rather than acknowledging their potential historical significance. The distinction between myth and reality plays a crucial role in understanding how historical events and cultures are interpreted and represented in Indian historical discourse.1
