Indian History : The past forgotten in present

As i was reading the newspaper few days back, i came through an article regarding Indian history, our culture,our customs,our religion....and that fascinated me to the extent that i statred to google more about India. I went back to the era of rulers and then the britishers and finally the independent india being ruled by corrupt politicians. But the conclusion of my search was not that i got to know lot about INDIA,rather lot is still unknown to me !!!

The subject history becomes history after school....and in school days for most it always ranked first as a subject of boredom. I still remember the chapters like "revolts of 1857","mughal dynasty"....and the pain i took in remembering those so called "IMP DATES" !!!! But as a matter of fact today i realised the importance of this painful history in our lives ,its a shame for us that being the citizen of this great country..hardly nyone of us remember its history ,the great rulers and the activist whose contribution only made INDIA great . I may sound very patriotic to u at present but actually m quite impressed and feel proud after finding something about my culture and my country,so the similar i want each and evryone to feel out here.Beco'z i believe its not just about INDIA,infact its more about knowing urself. And to live in the present and future the "PAST" should never be forgotten !!!
