Answer 1

Scholars have learned various aspects of ancient Indian culture, religion, and social systems from the Vedas. The Vedas provide insights into the early development of Hinduism, rituals, customs, and the early stages of the caste system in ancient India. However, their reliability as a historical source is debated because they were composed in an oral tradition and underwent changes over time, making it difficult to separate fact from myth or exaggeration.
