History is the study of change over time and it covers all developments touching varied aspects of human society, political, social, economic, religious, scientific, military, medical, technological and intellectual developments are all part of history. Non historians often say that history repeats itself. History never repeats itself because history is not a living thinking being. It is intellectual discipline practiced by historians who try to make the sense of the past. Being an intellectual disciplinary subject, History plays its important role in sharpening and broadening the knowledge of human beings and acts as a concrete-bridge between the past and present connecting the road to the future.
