Profile:

B A Course outcome:

A student who has passed the Graduate Level Examination by choosing History as an optional subject, it should be expected that he / she understands the following points related to the subject -

·        History is that branch of knowledge, in which the important events of the past - which affect the perticular place, period and situation and through which humans are taught to shape their future - are studied.

·         For the study of History, the event, the time of occurrence and the place of occurrence have special importance.

    Historiography is a difficult task, in which the historian revives the past in a way. He does this work on the basis of available sources, facts and evidences. Using reasonable sources, facts and evidences, the historian interprets the events and gives his conclusions based on an in-depth analysis.

·       4. It is not necessary that all historians reach the same conclusions based on interpretations and analyzes done on the basis of similar sources, facts and evidences. This cynicism is the real power of history, because only the search for truth progresses from cynicism.

       5. In the study of History, it cannot be said with certainty that 'This Is What Happened', so the possibility of research in this fertile branch of knowledge always remains.

       6. History has many factors influencing the interpretation, analysis and conclusions made by the researcher. One of these factors is also associated with the prejudices of the historian. Therefore, we should read the historian as well as the History.

      7. In fact, there is no division of History, because history is the result of continuity and expansion of events. Nevertheless, for the convenience and depth of study, it is necessary to divide History according to time and place.

       8. 'Event' in history does not just mean wars and treaties. The 'event' in History reveals the characteristics of the entire socio-cultural landscape of humans. Art, literature, science, commerce, management etc. are the components of History accordingly. On this basis, it can be said that the study of History is directly related to other branches of knowledge.

·       9. To study History it is necessary to study Geography. The best scholar of History is the one who knows how to study and compose maps.

       10. It is very important to understand the scientifically established sequence of events for the study of History. In order to understand the gradual movement, it is necessary that the student has understood the prevailing time-scale measurement and the time-table in circulation is also understandable. The scholar of History should also come to compose a Timeline-Diagram.
