3. There is modicum of truth in the assertion that "a working knowledge of ancient history is
necessary to the intelligent interpretaion of current events". But the sage who uttered these words
of wisdom might well have added something on the benefits of studying, particularly, the famous
battles of history for the lessons they contain for those of us who lead or aspire to leadership. Such a
study will reveal certain qualities and attributes which enabled the winners to win and certain
deficiencies which caused the losers to lose. And the student will see that the same patterns recurs
consistently, again and again, throughout the centuries.
A knowledge of history is necessary to interpret current problems because
they have roots in the past
they can be contrasted with the past events
only then they can be put in a proper context
they may be repetitions of past events

selfishness, racial antipathy and commercial self seeking begin to display their ugly deformities in all
their nakedness, then comes the time for man to know that his salvation is not in political
organisations and extended trade relations, not in any mechanical re-arrangement of social system
but in a deeper transformation of life, in the liberation of consciousness in love, in the realisation of
God in man
According to the author, "salvation" of human beings lies in the
