• 1. Why Should We Read history
History ? In a very simple way it may be said that people who study what happened in the past are studying History. But it is necessary to learn more about history before knowing anything about why we should read history. In popular dictionaries“history' has been variously defined as an account of an event, “the knowledge of past events', etc. Yet 'history' must not be understood to mean merely a collection of dates and facts, a record of kings' names, or a narrative of the wars fought. Another way how history has been defined is that every single thing that has ever happened could be history. But as time passes on historians record only those things that seem important. However, to be accurate,'history' is a study of change in the evolution of man.
