Why do indologists date Vedas and Puranas as recently written

I have a few questions pls answer them-:
1) Why do indologists date Vedas and Puranas as something written recently written while they were written long before by Veda Vyas and
2)why do the indologists date Vedas as very early as compared to Puranas. They consider Puranas as recently written. While I know that Vedas and Puranas were compiled simultaneously by Veda Vyas. Why is that? I am having a lot of confusion and doubt

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha,

Presently, we are in 5126 Kali Yuga years as per Vedic calender (2024 as per Gregorian calendar).

There is 36,000 years of poorva sandhi Kali Yuga year that passed, plus Dwapra Yuga 72,000 years uttara sandhi also passed. 

Veda Vyasar compiled the Vedas in to four vedas and gave in a written form at end of actual Dwapara yuga, which means it was written around 113,126 (5126+36,000+72,000) years ago.

The languages that are formed at a different ancient time doesn’t stay the same over a future period of time. It keeps changing in dialect, letters etc…depending upon the regional changes due to many factors…

Sanskrit = Sam (together) + Krit (made of),
means it is a language literally “put together”.

This was called “Vedic Sanskrit” which is different from the present classic sanskrit for which the gramma was refined by Panini Maharishi. Maharishi Panini was born in Shalatula between 4th to 7th century B.C.E (2042 Kali Yuga tear), a town in present-day Pakistan near the Indus River and Attock. Shalatula is an ancient city in Gandhara, and is likely located near modern-day Lahor, Pakistan.

Based on the refined sanskrit grammer released in 7th century B.C.E, many old granthas, Vedas etc from ancient or archaic language were written in understandable form for next generation. All there Vedicvknowledge were stiredin the knowledge hub library “Shaaradha Peedam” in Pakistan. Like, even Swami Ramanujar and Swami KoorathAzhvan went to Shaaradha oeedam to get “Bhodhayana vritthi grantham” during 11th century A.D.

Being that said, the Indologists concepts/role was formed during Colonial era 18th-19th century A.D by Britian. So if Indologists were able to analyse the birch bark/palm leaves of the Vedas written by scribing/etching the text using the stylus in classical sanskrit, it is definitely going to reveal as recently written, since 7th century A.D is hardly 2724 years ago.

But the content in those puranas, and Vedas are old enough, which the Indologists cannot confirm. All they say is when it was written which makes others to conclude that that the content is also recent which is not the case.

So we need to dissect the subject in to two:
1. Content is old,
2. Rewritten recently on 4-7th century B.C.E, on birch bark/ palm leaves using Panini’s refined grammar.

Another example, look at the transformation of Tamil before and after A.D 4th. It’s totally different. So the Alwar’s tamil was in a different archaic tamil which we cannot even read, but the shabdham and content is no change.

Look at Swami RamanujAr hand writing and compare with the A.D 4th tamil letters format. It matches and different from present classical tamil.

So no wonder, the Vedic Sanskrit (literally put together) language that Veda Vyasar wrote 113,126 years ago cannot stay in same format over a course of period due to cultural changes, people changes etc… which Panini reformed the grammar in 4th-7th century B.C.E, as classical sanskrit which makes sense when Indologits say it was written recently.

Typo error….”. All there Vedicvknowledge were stiredin…..”. It’s “……All there Vedic knowledge were stored in……..”

One more typo…
“….Look at Swami RamanujAr hand writing and compare with the A.D 4th tamil letters format…..”

It’s “……….A.D 11th century tamil letters format…..”

Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha
ElayAlwar Swamy,

There are also references of Nigandu (Sanskrit dictionary) of Maharishis.

The oldest known compiler of a Sanskrit Nigandu is generally considered to be Yaska, who authored the Nirukta (circa 6th–5th century BCE).

Time Period: Pre-Paninian era (before 5th century BCE).

Just adding more info Swamy.
Please correct if wrong.
