"History" is not just a collection of dates and events; it is the heartbeat of time that brings the echoes of the past alive in the present. It is a chain of stories that resonate with tales of kings, commoners, wars, love, sacrifices, and knowledge. History tells us where we come from, what we have learned, and where we can go.

It is a wonderful medium to peek into the alleys of the past, which not only brings forth the wisdom and struggles of our ancestors but also guides our present and future.
History is the mirror in which we see not only our identity but also understand the journey of civilization. In the words of E.H. Carr, history is essentially a dialogue between the past and the present. Human civilization stands on the foundation of these historical events. We can learn a lot from these events. These events are especially important for competitive exams, everyday life, and the academic world.
