History is a systematic study of the events of the past. History is constructed on the basis of the available material remains and the records. It narrates to us the progress of humankind from the ancient till the modern times.

What will happen if we do not know about our past? We will loose our identity. It is important to study history, as it gives us our identity. It is essential to know about our past because it leads us to our present.  We study history because of the following reasons:

  • History makes men wise. It helps us to learn from our mistakes. It not only leads us to our present but also hold the key for our future.
  • As discussed above, history gives us a sense of identity. It tells us about our ancestors, civilisation, beliefs and customs.
  • History helps us to observe the facts that have happened in the past. It also makes us to ask many questions, before accepting a fact. It thus fills us with a sense of enquiry.
  • It makes us aware about the culture, religion and beliefs of the people of other countries. Thus, it makes us knowledgeable and broad minded.
