Talk:Hinduism/The Vedas

This page was adapted from the Wikipedia article: Vedas. The date of the import can be found as the first edit. I adapted the article through extension, connection and reduction of repetition (a good example is the amount of times that the statement that the Rigveda is the oldest of the Samhitas appears in the original Wikipedia article). The absence of the strict citing policies of Wikipedia means that scholars in this field can be included within the prose as opposed to a link to a reference (For example, I can include the fact that Gavin Flood is an eminent Oxford professor whose dating of the Samhitas is in common use). This extension allows the ideas within the prose to flow more freely as opposed to the "clipped" style of an encyclopedia article.

Thanks to the original contributors to the Wikipedia article: Vedas
