People as a rule pay scant attention to facts which conflict with their interests, or self conceit. History and religion are distorted to produce national halos, and the individual wears the warp of his experience with a comfortable mosaic of self justification. Their character may be noble, could they feel that their beliefs and opinions; and their religion, state language, culture, their gods, their heroes and their role in history is superior to any other – but everybody cannot be right.
Honesty and truth are not synonymous; they are comparative phases of one notion – Honesty being a profession of a philosophy, while truth is an established law of existence. Honesty is applied to human behavior, while truth is a universal law. The historians and chroniclers of the holy books may have been honest, because they looked into available data (Available does not mean all that is available to others as well) the data they wanted to collect & present, the data which their subconscious mind was seeking and wrote history and scriptures as they would have liked it to be known.
In that process they left out the truth – truth pertaining to men and events and gave a lopsided view to all those who knew, as well as to those who wanted truth about their own religion, territory, gods, heroes, men and incidents to be truthfully recorded.

A real truthful record still awaits birth. As students and seekers we are the real teachers to these oofy professors, chroniclers and proselytzers.
