HISTORY

History is one of the most important subjects  after languages in any society. History, as a branch of knowledge, started tentatively with the writings of Herodotus in Greece in the fifth century B. C. The Puranas were also written in fifth century  B. C. which contained a list of rulers at the end of the book. History throws light on the past of a society which enables the students to understand the present in a better way and shape the future accordingly.

         In modern times, history has been used as a tool of colonisation. The European colonisers like Britain and France destroyed the history of the country they subjugated and created a new history of the subjugated country which portrayed them poorly and justified their colonization. The British poet Rudyard Kipling called it, " Whiteman's burden" and France called it ," Mission Civilization ". History is still a very powerful tool in setting the narrative of the past and present. We make the students realize the potential of history in controlling and setting the tone of present day narrative. That's why history is a hot cake now-a-days.

        As a subject for gainful employment, history has no parallel. As an optional subject for JPSC and UPSC, it is hot cake. Moreover, a sound knowledge of history is a must for scoring high marks in General Studies. Its knowledge is also required for a successful social and political life.

     In this digital age, it has become very popular on different platforms of social media also.
