ABSTRACT
History is one of the core subjects in the curriculum of Indian secondary and senior secondary schools, as it is in other countries. It is intended to equip students with a knowledge of the human past, including that of their own ancestors and society. Pupils of secondary and senior secondary schools in India, however, commonly consider history boring, uninteresting and mind-boggling. The reason for this distaste is that most history teachers stress the rote learning of bare facts, dates and names.
