Write short note on
The historian
✓
Answer
The writing of critical historical narrative is known as ‘Historiography’ and the scholar who is involved in the writing of this narrative is known as a ‘Historian’.
A historian critically examines the historical sources while writing the historical narrative.
While writing the historical narrative, he interprets and includes only those historical events, which fit in the conceptual framework adopted by him. This means that every past event is not included by him. For e.g. A historian studying the history of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj will also study the other rulers of that period but will write history from the point of view of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
