From Greece to Rome, from Egypt to India, philosophy is bound by that single thread of knowledge that uses ‘mythos’ and ‘logos’ to describe the ‘cosmos’. Mythos is Mythology that each of these civilisations extravagantly boast of and logos is using logic besides mythology, to make sense of cosmos or the world. How are the cults of Dionysus and Orpheus related? If Apollo is the Sun God in the Greek Mythology, Phoebus in Rome and Surya in the Indian myths, why do the Egyptians have three different sun gods? Do these questions intrigue you? If yes, do tune into Cosmographia now!

Alberuni’s India: The Reign of the Hindu Shahis
This extract taken from Alberuni’s India by Dr. Sachau tells us about the ruling Shahis of Kabul, their origin, the benevolence they possessed and the dynasty’s end. Traveller Alberuni, having been someone in the service of Mahmud, was aware of the Shahis for quite sometime since it were the Shahis who had been contending against the prince Mahmud for time immemorial, and this is why it is no longer a surprise that Alberuni wrote about the Shahis of Kabul in the very first chapter of his work ‘Tarikh-i-Hind’ the English translation of which has, in this episode, been narrated.
