Why should precautions be taken while writing history?
✓

Answer

  • A written document cannot be said to be authentic just because it is old.
  • It needs to be examined critically as to who wrote it, why and when it was written
  • The conclusions drawn on the basis of various genuine documents have to be cross-checked and corroborated with one another
  • Such a critical analysis is very important in the writing of authentic history.
