The internet is nowadays bursting with them. Many are oral but an increasing number are documented. Many are now being documented as family narratives, and some of those are dismissed as being "communalist" or as examples of Indian inability to write objective history. You are nerely glossing over your own ignorance of them and giving prominence to what you have been taught is real history.
