Some people are very interested in researching their family history. Other people say this is a waste pf time and that we should focus on the present and future generations.

" History is who we are and why we are the way we are", said by David McCullough suits well with the topic. History is comprised of infinite learnings, infrastructures, winnings, and losings over undefined time period. The research in the field of history has gone faraway nowdays. The people can be categorized into several types in regard of their mindsets towards history. Some people understand history only as a part of their school subject; on the other hand, various people have special place in life to research the antiquity at its deeper and deeper level which leads them either career as a historian or maintain it as their hobby. On discussing further, some people who are fond of exploring their family ancestors should be taken into consideration. They crosses certain limits to investigate about their family origin and their rulers. Their experimentation are intended to gain knowledge of ancestral's livelihood and culture. They do so either due to interest in it or to learn something from them and to implement in their daily lives. The historical monuments were built and the Vedas, the Granths and Scriptures were written with the aim of acknowledge us with life's problems and their solutions so that we live life easier. They are of spiritual significance and we should appreciate it. On contrast, the presence of people who believes studies of family ancestors are the waste of time instead of which we should focus on the present for better future also exists. Hence, most of them intends to be away from tradition and culture. However, they are unaware that one without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots. To conclude the discussion, I would like to share quote by Theodore Roosevelt, " The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future. "
