How true is our world History?
First of all, how do we get to know about history?
For me, it was from school mainly and few things my parents told me..
I guess for many of us it should be from school.. But, in schools, they are going to tell us the History, in the way they want it to be. Say, in India, they would say it such a way that we feel proud of being Indian. And of course, and thats what for, the schools are!
We know the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in such a way that we feel really angry at those who did this to our nation! We still feel sad about that disaster.. I wonder how would this incident have been said in British schools! or may be they never said anything about this at all?
I think the history is modified continuously everywhere in order to create the impression they want! If every country is going to do this, slightly modify the history, for inspiring the people, then we would never get to know the true history...
The truth, is lost forever??

haven't u heard "history is written by the winners" and "patriotism spoils history" :-) w
mmm... :-)
Yes. History is written by winners.. Bt I am nt sure abt the second one - "patriotism spoils history".. True patriotism need not spoil history. It can make the history to be forgotten (rather than change/spoil it) by changing the future of the country!
