There was a time when historians were fascinated with dates. There were heated debates about the dates on which rulers were crowned or battles were fought.In the common - sense notion, history was synonymous with dates. You may have heard people say,"I find history boring because it is all about memorizing dates." Is such a conception true ?      History is certainly about changes that occur over time. It is about finding out how things have changed. As soon as we compare the past with the present we refer to time, we talk of "before" and "after" .      Living in the world we do not always ask historical questions about what we see around us.
