About Subhradeep
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. Usually professional historians specialize in a particular aspect of
history, a specific time period, a certain approach to history or a specific geographic region.
Non-historians often say that “history repeats itself” or that “things were always this way.” History
cannot repeat itself because history is not a living, thinking being. History is an intellectual discipline
practiced by historians who try to make sense of the past. Because history is about change, nothing was
ever “always” a certain way.
Non-historians often romanticize the past and speak of the “good old days” when they believe
that things were generally better than at present. Conversely, some see history exclusively as a story of
progress with everything constantly improving. People of all eras have made great achievements and
committed terrible blunders; so processes of historical change cannot be categorized as either simple
progress or regression. Historical processes involve complex relations between interrelated factors.
Non-historians derive information mainly from television, movies, and the internet as well as some
books or magazines. They generally accept any sources uncritically as long as the source is interesting.
Historians know that all sources, even those original to a particular historical time period, have some
biases, omissions, contradictions, or various other limitations. That does not mean that such sources are
completely invalid and useless; rather it means that historians have to know and study much to recognize
the strengths and weaknesses of different sources.
Historians who write history emphasize the value of primary sources, that is those sources
actually dating from a particular time period, while understanding the limitations of such sources. Nonhistorians read books or watch documentaries, while historians do that plus go to archives in search of
original records. [Historians who study non-English speaking regions must learn and use foreign
languages.]
Historians who write list all the sources that they have used in footnotes and bibliographies in
their works. This helps other scholars who are interested to find those sources, and it shows that the
writer is careful, thorough, and honestly giving credit for the origin of the writer’s information. Providing
footnotes and a bibliography is how historians demonstrate their methodology and support their
conclusions.
Non-historians assume that historians have always approached history the same way. Historians
know that the philosophy and methodology of history have changed over time and will keep changing.
Many different interpretations of all historical topics exist. Historians must work to recognize the difference
between facts and interpretations in their field. Historiography refers to the history, philosophy and
methodology of history. Historians must be familiar with the historiography of their particular area of study.
Non-historians often make broad generalizations about people, ideas, events, or time periods in
history. Historians tend to focus more on the specific, detailed developments that underpin the
generalizations, and sometimes question or reject the generalizations themselves.
Non-historians may assume that time periods are fixed and absolute, whereas historians have
various ways of organizing history thematically and chronologically. Periodization, to historians, is just a
convenient form of broad organization, especially useful for course listings in university catalogs and
subject headings in library catalogs.
No historian can be 100% objective, but historians try to recognize their own limitations and
biases. Historians try not to place the values, beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes of the present onto the
topics they study. Historians try to understand their topics in the context of how and why people of that
era thought and behaved, and not how people think and act today
