HISTORY: A HATING SUBJECT

History is one of the important subjects taught and studied at all levels of education since ages. The word History to put it simply means the story of mankind. It refers to the study of past events, particularly human affairs.  

Students consider history as the worst subject in their curriculum. Majority of them hate it. There are so many reasons behind hating this subject. Predominantly, it is tedious (boring) to learn dates, names of people and places which are not even useful in everyday life. Also, it is just about dead people. Another reason is that history lays emphasis on text reading. It has theoretical base only. There is no practicality in it rather it is just the memorization of people, places and dates. And this is not useful and relevant in modern era or student's entire lifetime. 



It is the need of the hour to make history an interesting subject for the students. History classes should be conducted in a interesting way. Textbooks should contain diagrams, flowchart, pitchers, and head points so that students can understand and remember the topics very conveniently. Schools should organise trips to ancient museums to make students learn about past which is very knowledgeable and such museums also highlights tradition and culture of the country. Through this, such traditions can be handed over to the future generations.


Thus, History should be teach in fun and practical way so that students (do not hate this subject anymore.)don't find it boring anymore.
