[Rakesh Nirmal]

This is to Mr Digambara
I was a history student for the past 2 attempts but changed my optionals to Geography
i was unable to develop interest towards history but could give some tips to history students.

[digambara]

well, i find history extremely interesting.. do you have to read the new edition ncert too...
@somasekharever . where are you reading history.have you joined any institute

[Rakesh Nirmal]

the real reason to read NCERT is not to mug up points but to get a feel and realise the historical sequence
the new NCERT is colourful and provides a visual aid for various historical facets
it is not compusory to read new NCERT to the core if u thoroughly read the Old NCERT's
Ancient --- R.S.Sharma
Medievel--- Satish Chandra
modern---Bipin Chandra
Editions 2006 as basic readings
All the BEST
