Knowledge about the social, political, and economic conditions, events, narratives, wars, victories, and defeats of the past is called history.
Human history encompasses everything that happened in the past—any change, whether positive or negative—which was transmitted from generation to generation or continued to influence humanity over time.
History
Whether it was a past victory or a defeat, it manifests in the present and future as a visible marker. In other words, every internal and external factor of the past that took root within a society continues to express itself—clearly or subtly—in the present and the future.
The wars and conflicts between the Durāvārs and the Aryans, and the resulting stratification of society into classes, continue to shape the Indian subcontinent to this day.
The scars of Alexander the Great’s attack on Sindiman (modern Sehwan) still remain imprinted on the body of Sindh.
The conquest by the Arabs and the defeat of Maharaja Dahir left wounds on the valley of Sindh that have not yet healed.
Just as the defeat in the Battle of Panipat left consequences that the subcontinent suffers from to this very day, so too do the political and socio-economic impacts—both positive and negative—of Napoleon Bonaparte’s and Adolf Hitler’s defeats at the hands of Russia continue to be present even now.
