Its original quote from Herodotus. He says that Jats had neither funeral nor burial and they were eaten by their kinsfolk.[/QUOTE
These kind of stories need to be taken with a liberal dose of salt.
There is a tendency to accept, whatever Herodutus wrote, as ' actual history'.
What he wrote was,basically, and that should not be unexpected, a bunch of hearsay.
Then there is the question of whether he is referring to the Jats or not.One may well aks for bettre proof than ha sbeen advacnce dso far
Communication in 500 BCE was not as good as it is today.
We,all, have a tendency to see the ancient past though a prism of the 21st century.
The Prithviraj story has been distorted over the centuries, to suit the various ends of various groups.
A more rational approach, is to treat the material from Herodotus, and other writers as raw material, and re-interpret that, with the, vastly greater, knowledge available to us today.
