History starts either verifiable written recording dated back to the time of writing. When was India's first written recording of History and that the evidence is recorded within the life time after the actual event. Otherwise, they are pre-history or legends.
There is no way one can "verify" written record as being true or not.
For all you know, it could very well be a work of fiction.
There is no irrefutable proof that any old records in existence speaks the truth. One takes it on good faith based on our understanding of human nature and human society.
In this context, Hindu History (in scriptures) has talked about knowledge of history right from the origin of this current earth and life on earth, in a time span which is called a "Kalpa".
Each Kalpa is approximately 155 Trillion years old.
The universe creates and destroyes itself in the time span of each Kalpa.
And our current Kalpa is the 51 in the scheme of things.
Each "Kalpa" has 14 "Manvantara" or "Ages". A single "Manvantara" is a "Age of Manu" or the "Age of Consciousness".
The first Manvantara being "Svayambhuva Manu" or "Self born certain consciousness" which was 1.9 Billion years ago. The Fist Manu or "conscious being" was/is called "Yajna" or "one born of fire".
The current Manvantara or "Age of consciousness" is the "Vaivasvata Manu", which translates as "Age of Changing place / Migration consciousness" and the name of the Manu or First consciousness of this age is "Vamana", i.e. "One who Spreads (ejects) consciousness ". This started 1.2 Million years ago.
The age before this one was called "Cakshusha Manu" or the "Age of Monkey / Ape consciousness", and the Manu or the First conscious being was called "Ajita" or "invincible ape".
The well known and most recorded history of Humans in Hinduism is during the age of Vaivasvata Manu and its abut the Kingdom of Ayodhya and its King and subjects and the wars it fought. Interestingly it speaks of wars being fought in alliance with Ape men and Monkeys.
This was much before Darwin came up with the theory of evolution that told us that humans evolved from apes and there used to be Ape men.
