HISTORIC PROFICIENCY

History is the narration of the facts of the past.

Who is authorized to scribe and narrate the historic evidences?

About the same incident, there would be a lot of documentary narrations.

All of them might have some variations.

Even there might be vast difference, or poles apart.

It is the duty of the historians to separate the goat from the sheep.

Prejudice is a factor, which affects the truth of the history.

There might be the colour of nation and religion as deciding factor to some one.

History is good for indoctrinating knowledge on the past of human culture,

origin and evolution of nations, the dynastic rule and the decline of the kingdoms.

To a good historian, he knows the succession of Mogul dynasty to Nehru family.

Baber, Humayun, Akber, Shajahan, and Aurangaseb: the succession is well known.

It is good he knows Motilal, Jawaharlal, Indira, Rajeev and Rahul.

Knowing five generations of popular ones in the history is quiet simple.

That is what we are teaching to the Primary school students.

But how many of us know five generation of our own succession?

It is a matter of wonder; even eminent historians know not more than three generations of his own lineage ,if not prepared for a quiz competition!

That is the flaw and flop of the historic proficiency of our civilized men.

WE KNOW THE NAMES OF ALL OTHER’S FORE FATHERS,

BUT DO NOT KNOW THE NAME OF OUR GRAND FATHER.
