Kalhana’s ‘Rajatarangini’ is considered an important text in Indian historiography.

Answer: Because Kalhana wrote the history of Kashmir after critically examining his sources, which is close to the modern method of writing history.

Kalhana wrote ‘Rajatarangini’ in the twelfth century C.E. He studied earlier texts, inscriptions, coins and records, and he said that the historian should write impartially, without love or hatred for any king. Because it presents a continuous and evidence-based account of the kings of Kashmir, it is regarded as an important historical text.
