We understand that history is a work in progress, and we eagerly await further developments.
In school we read about Swalee Khordu as an ideal human being who selflessly served his fellowmen. Later the ruling party changed, and it was discovered that half of Khordu’s so-called achievements were actually ascribable to a low-key companion of his whose role Khordu had unfairly underplayed. Now a new party has stormed to power, and a set of thought leaders has been projecting Khordu as a quasi-imaginary character created by the think tank of a once-influential community to advance their socio-economic and political interests.
We understand that history is a work in progress, and we eagerly await further developments.

Really, there are so many versions of the same history that one is free to choose the version that best suits one.

Most of the time, we see only what we want to see, or what others tell us to see, instead of really investigate to see what is really there.

A party, or any institution that is in power or in opposition, does all things to get only for its own goal and interests, no matter in a legal way or through illegal resources, like forces, print and electronic media, and negative propaganda among the people , spending the millions of money for this.

I don't believe history will ever teach us, Gautam. The players throughout time all play the same game with no winners.
