Class 09 History NCERT

As we live our life in the present and read about the happenings around the world in newspapers, we do not usually pause to think about the longer history of these events. We see change before our eyes, but do not always ask, why are things changing? Very often we do not even notice that things were not the same in the past.

Class 09 History NCERT

History is about tracking these changes, understanding how and why they are taking place, how the present world in which we live has evolved.
