What
is our first impression when we think of the past? The rulers,
their lives and their actions? Do we see them as Hindu or
Muslim, Sikh or Christian? Where have we got this impression
of history from? Do we believe that all past rulers ruled and
governed as either Christian, Hindu, Muslim or Sikh first and
rulers or kings thereafter?
If this image of the past and our history is not quite the
truth, why not look at history and find out for ourselves what
our kings, queens, saints and poets actually did or said about
each other?
This could be quite a lot of fun. Lets find out the real
answers for ourselves, from the history book in the library or
at home, and catch out adults for giving us the wrong
answers. And remember to share with us the truths and
falsehoods that you find.
