Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe answer is Surdas's Sahitya Lahiri.
- Primary sources help students relate in a personal way to events of the past and promote a deeper understanding of history as a series of human events.
- Because primary sources are incomplete snippets of history, each one represents a mystery that students can only explore further by finding new pieces of evidence.
Key Points
- Surdas was a 16th-century blind Hindu devotional poet and singer, who was known for his works written in praise of Krishna, the supreme lord.
- Surdas's Sahitya Lahri is one of the main primary sources to know about the medieval period of history.
Mistake Points
- Ashoka's Inscription, Kalidasa's Abhijana Shakuntala, and Ravikirti's Prashasti are the Ancient historical sources.
Hence, Surdas's Sahitya Lahari is a primary source to understand the medieval History of India.
