What is yours today was somebody else’s in the past and will be somebody else’s in the future. You think i...

Why should we read History of the World ?

History is an evolution and growth. H. G. Wells has rightly said, “The knowledge we possess of life before the beginning of human memory and tradition is derived very largely from the markings and fossils of living things in the stratified rocks." But in spite of all the difficulties about the study of history of the nations and mankind, it is useful to study in more than one way. Advantages for the study of world history: (1) It Widens our Knowledge. We usually have very little knowledge about the world and that how it came into being.

In the words of Jawaharlal Nehru : "In the history we read of the great periods in the life of nations, of great men and women and great deeds performed, and sometimes in our dreams and reveries we imagine ourselves back in those times and doing brave deeds like the heroes and heroines of old." (2...
