    Some people say there is no need to know about history and need not to study history book. They argue about that history give us nothing and we live in modern age so here no reason to know our history. What do you think?

    it is very much important to know about our history, not just for the shake of knowledge, but to do research on those things and find out some useful things which may help us in future!:)

    I think it is very important to know history , to know one's roots. To know how and why a country prosper and decline. Lessons learnt from the past can be used in the future. Wisdom of the past can enlighten us.

    I believe they also say "those that don't know their history are doomed to repeat it".

    To know where you are going, have to know where you have been.
