The article presents an exploration into the role of collective memory and historical consciousness in the national interpretation of myth in India and criticizes its abuse by social and political groups to promote their own agendas. Extensive discussion is given outlining the unique cultural factors of historical awareness and methodology in India, particularly in regards to religious traditions and nationalistic mobilization movements. The development and reception of popular myth surrounding the city of Ayodhya is particularly explored.
