The Study Of History

             History is the annals of the past. And without past there cannot be any future. Thus we can say that history is not only an interesting subject but also an important one. Every citizen of a country should, as a duty, learn the history of that country and only then can we hope for a better future. Study of the cultural heritages of a people inspires feeling of patriotism and a pride to take the nation ahead at any cost of sacrifice.
             Though it is not necessary to know the history of the entire world thoroughly, but it is necessary to know at least a brief history of the world. This will help us to understand the various reasons why a particular country has done well or badly and what are its achievements or failures.
Incidents like the American Revolution, Russian Revolution, the French Revolution or the Chinese Revolution are all very important events in the world. The critical study of these events helps us to know the important changes which took place, in the world, both social and political, after these events and why and how the changes occurred.
             Previously, in different history books, usually the tales of kings and queens used to be told in great detail. Now the trend had changed for the better. With the more or less abolition of the king-queen system, these days history is more or less based on the common people on their culture, literature, social system etc. Everything combines together to make up the history of a nation and it is definitely an important study.
