Vision of History

 refers to how we perceive and understand the past — not just as a record of events, but as a way to gain insights into human experiences, societies, cultures, and patterns of change over time

1. Understanding the Past:
   The vision of history helps us study the journey of human civilisation — how people lived, ruled, fought, created, and evolved.
2. Learning from Mistakes and Achievements:
   It allows us to reflect on past mistakes (like wars, discrimination) and successes (like inventions, reforms), helping to build a better future.
3. Shaping Identity:
   History connects us with our roots, culture, and traditions. It gives a sense of belonging and national identity.
