No doubt, history subject is not merely a study of events of the past days, it is too the interlink between the past and the present time and a guideline for the future.
Before considering what the implications of history are, it is necessary to note the important limitations of history. History of humans is by no means complete. Many aspects of human work is denied and no steps is made to record, it is one way or the other ways.
After this examination of different written language, important incidents were at times inscribed on stones or metals, but here, varieties of them were lost. Even the different sources seldom through much importance of the ignored parts of the society. Hence, these problems have presence the reconstruction of entire history from the olden days.
All history is not fully authentic or beneficial to us. Sometimes it may be biased. These bias accounts are sometimes very common.
Through history, a step is made to enrich the knowledge of the students and to progress the spirit of self confidence and understanding. Inspite of the impact of history as a subject and source material of study, it has not covered so wide area like other subjects.
History leads to intellectual development of the children. Here, even the people in power were not usually drawing lessons and conclusions from history.
Through the teaching and learning of history, a step has been made to inspire students to make progress in any field of excellence.
History repeats itself. It is unending dialogue between the past and the present. Sometimes it is likely said that history does not repeat itself.
R. G. Collingwood says that the rhythm of historical changes is likely to repeat itself, similar antecedents leading to similar consequences, a study of notable events helps human judgements.
Finally, we have to say that history develops in students—the qualities and performances that may help them to adjust themselves with society. Do we have any method to know the present value and its status of any human endeavour without its history? Present history has become an all embracing, comprehensive subject with almost limitless extent.
