Another chapter of history

Yesterday, we were having our usual cafe' talk and from somewhere it went on a serious topic of India's history. Its a very sensitive issue to discuss since most of it drifts into religious debates and hate speeches. But while keeping into limits, we touched upon the various invasions of India and whether there was some benefit left behind by any whatsoever.

Not getting into those details, the talk went on to mean that all of the opinions are subjective perspectives, so we refer to historic books. Prasad made an interesting point at that. He said that history was written by people who had the strength. What this strength means is anybody's guess! I agreed and went on to say later: tradition is what keeps the true history alive.
