उत्तर
Two sources of history are literary sources and archaeological sources. Literary sources include secular literature and religious literature. Writings related to religion are called religious literature, for example, the Jatakas, the Ramayana. Secular literature is not related to religion. It includes poems, plays, accounts by travelers, for example, the Indika of Megasthenes.
