History
The origin of the word History is associated with the Greek word ‘Historia’ which means ‘information’ or ‘an
enquiry designed to elicit truth’. It is an act of both investigation and imagination that seeks to explain how
people have changed over time. Historians use all forms of evidence to examine, interpret, revisit, and
reinterpret the past. History is a means to understand the past and present. It is often said to be the “queen” or
“mother” of the social sciences. It is considered an indispensable subject in the complete education of man.
