The English word “History” has come from the Greek word “Historia”. The word Historia was first used by Greek historian Herodotus (fifth
century B.C.). He is famous as the father of History. It was he who
first of all used this word after the name of his research work whose
dictionary meaning is investigation into the truth or research. He
believed that history is to investigate or write what in true sense
existed or took place. He investigated into different issues of the war
that had taken place between Greece and Persia through his research. In
this research he gave description of the obtained information,
important events and the stories of victory of the Greek so that next
generations do not forget these events and these events inspire them and
imbue them with patriotism.
