Department of History

About the department & the subject

Napoleon called it ‘a myth’ and Henry Ford called it ‘bunk’. Other people think it is much more important, believing, like the American historian David McCullough that “History is who we are and why we are the way we are”. History is the study of change over time, and it covers all aspects of human society. Political, social, economic, scientific, technological, medical, cultural, intellectual, religious, and military developments are all part of history. Anybody can make history; only a great man can write it. (Oscar Wilde)
The Dept. of History is one of the oldest departments of the college and was established with the aim to impart the education of history to the interested young generation. Besides, it also marks a departure from the traditional teaching and understanding of the concerned subject by bringing a qualitative shift in its curricula, teaching methodology, perception development, and in the realm of knowledge gain.

The sanctioned posts for the department in total are 02, at present the current faculty in position is 01.
