Why we separate what a tradition teaches from what a text says
Every claim in the knowledge sections is labelled with the register it belongs to. Here is the reasoning behind that.
A great deal of writing about Indian traditions blends four different kinds of claim into one paragraph: what a tradition teaches, what a text actually states, what historians have established, and what modern research supports. Blended together they are impossible to check, and the weakest of them borrows credibility from the strongest.
So on this site they are kept apart and labelled. A traditional claim is marked as traditional. A textual claim carries the text. A historical claim carries the scholarship. Where modern research is cited, its limits are cited with it.
There is a fifth register here that most sites do not have: the decoded reading. That is interpretation, it is the Trust's own, and it is marked as such wherever it appears. Keeping it visibly separate is what makes it possible to offer it at all.
