12. Question: Does a mere record or collection of
events is also History?

15. History is the grandest vehicle for vicarious experience: it truly
educates…young minds and obliges them to reason, wonder, and brood
about the vastness, richness, and tragedy of the human condition. Studying
history provides a context in which to fit all other knowledge – like math,
science, or literature – that a student may learn. If history is taught in an
engaging way, teens learn about the significance of past events and
personalities, and can relate them to their own lives. As for history's civic
and moral function, perhaps more than any other school subject, teaches
people how to become responsible, contributing citizens in a society.

28. 1.To promote an understanding of the process of change: History is the only
subject that can unfold the process of change and development through which
human societies have evolved to their present stage of development.
2.To acquire knowledge of significant world events: The pupils through the
learning of history get the knowledge of happenings outside the life of the
nation which are significant to the life of the world as a social group or
significant to some happening in the life of the nation (such as French
revolution, the Industrial revolution, etc.).
3.To promote an understanding of the common roots of human civilization: All
major civilizations of the world have common roots, leaving aside some major
local characteristics; most of them have common features which point to the
basic unity of mankind. One of the important aims of history is to point to this
basic unity.

29. 4.To develop an appreciation of the contributions made by various cultures:
The cultures of different countries have contributed in one way or the other to
the total heritage of mankind. History can bring this to the knowledge of the
pupils and that is to be understood and appreciated.
5.To develop an understanding of causal relationships: By the understanding of
the causal relationship between historical happenings, pupils may be able to have
some insight into the process of framing historical laws and utilizing them for
prediction. For example, from the facts studied in history regarding the French
Revolution they may be able to conclude that other things being equal, when the
social, political and economic frustrations of the general mass of people in a
social group reaches an unbearable point, revolution is bound to break out. With
this law as the basis the pupils may discuss, whether India has reached the point
of revolution at the moment or not and what India might do to avert a revolution.
