A. Severely reduce the overall Scope of Itihasa-Puranas. We will cheat ourselves by losing the primary purpose they have served.

2. In which case, dont have have anything to offer in the dimension of History?

It is said that Pitru dosha can occur if forefathers upto 7 th generation on father's side and upto 4th generation on the mother's side have died unnatural death/ early demise . Also, if their last rites are not performed properly then it can cause pitru Dosha.
