I wonder what constitute history, we have, still even after occupation whose sole aim was to destroy us, yet our way of life remains intact, preserving the Vedas and reciting the stories from Mahabharata and Ramayan and Puranas. I don't need any outsider to tell me what our history is. I guess what I am saying is our way of life is proof enough not to doubt the shastra.
I don't mean you an outsider as I don't know you.

Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
