What is History ? Why there is need to know the history ?

Dear Student,

History is defined as the study of past events, specifically relating to the study of past societies, people, culture and the events concerning the past. Those events that occurred before the invention of writing is classified as pre-history. The events that occurred after the invention of writing is called as history. Thus, history is defined as a record of the human past. A historian studies the recorded events in the past and interprets them in the present. It is very important to learn history and know the past in order to understand our present. Study of history helps us to understand our cultures, identities and human relations in a more clear perspective. It is important to learn history to ensure that the mistakes that were done in the past shall not be repeated in the future. History helps us to develop a better understanding of the world.

Regards
